Signing Off A New Year Again

Signing Off A New Year Again

Another year has really flew by quickly 

signin off with two of my favorite musical

people Sly Stone moved on few months ago

and sadly Dec 31 marks ten years Natalie Cole

has moved on When she passed away hurt me

so much I didnt listen to music for about six months

when I did listen to music again I listened to Sounds of silence

by Simon and Garfunkle thats cause how I felt So to the Vibe Happy healthy new year and Sly song Thank U 4 Let Me B micelf again and

the soulful passionate song You by Natalie Cole

Just Ramblin With Purpose

As I have aged time no

longer creepin

Time is now speedin at

warp speed

They talk about climate change

and how it has rearranged

Here In SC Christmas eve temp

77 degrees Christmas day 78 degrees

both tie the state record for high temps

covering over 100 years

A third record was set couple days

later temp reached 78

As the year come to an end

so does democracy

A country being destroyed by one

old man whose slogan Make America Hate Again

bring out folks who always believed but never

found a leader who is proud to say it loud

Was stationed Ft Gordon Ga when this song bust the air waves goes

by the title Say It Loud Im Black and Proud and later this master blaster Funky president bythe one and only God Father James Brown

why not take a listen Youtube gottum

&nb...

Early 7os in record shop lookin for music see the LP cover cant buy a thrill by Steely Dan never heard of um but I like the cover and the length of the songs bought it their first LP became one of the greatest rock band of their era The Song Do It Again by Steely Dan motivated me to do a lot of things dont give up

Rain

 Am like Rick James when 

it comes to rain

Im just a sucker for 

your love

That surround sound

that get down rain

that pit pat sound  against

the window pane

Such a quaint serenity when I

hear the rain

Got this thing called PTSD

it wont let me sleep

never believed that stuff bout

countin sheep

but when it rain I fight the sleep

long as I can just to listen to

that sweet melody

Every time rain will win ease

on into a peaceful sleep

There r many many songs about the rain this is an interesting one I saw him in Columbia SC 1984 get this 35 dollar ticket to see him Jimmy Castor Bunch Jeffery Osborne and Anita Baker the main attraction The song is titled In the rain by Orange Juice Jones one hit wonder

Holidays

Holidays that once so much

bought such

automatic joy

just that euphoric 

feelin in 

the   

air

The Mom The Dad

all the brothers and

sister

Just those fond memories

For me Holidays

can never b the same

The love ones that care

about you

all gathered around

A family of unity

Those years all the kids

grown

time has taken Mom 

and Dad

three brothers too

Its just not the same

when holidays in 

the air

Holidays still somethin

bout them just the same

To all Happy Holidays

to those that are still

here to make

that call

My favorite Xmas song is Silent Night

many have sang it but the Temptains rendition 

is my favor...

Dam Its Cold

Dam its cold all this rain

wind and temps floatin in

20s and 30s at night

Heatin this house a job with

the price of propane gas makin 

you blink more then twice

100 gal 349 dollars up front

6 weeks repeat the joint

Yeah when I was livin up North

temps in the teens mountains

of snow you heard me make no noise

but deep in my years livin in the south

winter temps 50s 60s used to it but

now and then Brother Hawk swoop

on in come around that damp chilled

 cold goes to the  bone got me an outside

guy hunking down at home dam whats going on

Dam its cold didnt wear my jeans got these

light thin dress pants on my my been so long

wearing these threads of clothes got me legs freezing

wit that wind whippin sure aint pleasin

Nice one by James Taylor featu...

Just A Video Game

America no longer has morals or humanity toward fellow 

human beings 

What an administartion

talkin bout the one ruling the nation

No humanity humans r just a video game

Bombing killing folks in boats they acuse

of halling drugs well over 80 killed double figure 

bombings Just blast them out the stratosphere

gots the creepy nerve to brag about it showing 

on all the news programs on TV A video game

let them die no one will say anything

Its just a video game Love ones dont matter

what can they do but become on the dead side of reality

in this just a video game

I was with the first Cav a lil while in Nam the patch is

a big black and yellow with a diagonal stripe with a black

horse head Kind of ironic A popular group of the 70s did this song

called A Horse With No Name powerful lyrics the group n...

Writing

Really dont get into writing much

but I keep at it got to keep Mind Spirit

Soul heart all in touch

Time now movin so fast as I surpass

my elderly years

but still I pick up that pen

Twilight Zone Atlantis Moon Landing

Cut Up in the sky

all them thoughts kick in gear

Am thinking keep up this writing

keep that All Timers at bay

dont want it kickin in at any

day 

I like the Funk groups not much of a balad man But the Isleys

got lots of their music alway back to the age of seventeen They r Funk RnB and Ballad My favorite Isley balad is For the love of You it kind of reminds me of writing Now and then I lose my way using words to try to say how I feel You tube got it

Cant B Bought

Cant b bought

cant b sold

the one thing I set

out for my goal

Enjoy Freedom of Free Will

from birth this was given in

my complexities of life

made simple in my moments

of livin

Like  birds on the wing cheerful

as they wing and sing

so I look to the sky and let

my Soul soar 2 b free

a feelin so good 2 my soul

after more then 75 years never

was I up for grab 2 b

bought or sold

One of my life go to song The God Father sang it years ago stiil resonates with me and thats why I am still laughing at The Big Payback play it regular at the house but you tube got it The Big Payback part one and two James Brown dont do me no darn favor
