I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word, I'm a madman, don't you know

He used to say soulshine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometime,
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.-

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah-

Laser beam in my dream
Laser beam in my dream
Laser beam in my dream
I can't get on, I can't get off
Laser beam like a sawed-off dream -
And I'd like to change my life, and you know I would
Just to be with you tonight, baby, if I could
But I've got my job to do, and I do it well, oh
(Change my life, change my life)
So I guess that's how it is
Ooh, wishing you were here
Ooh, wishing you were here
Ooh, wishing you were here (Wishing you were here)
Wishing you were here (You were here) -
The night's too young to leave you now
Let's drink whiskey by the bottle
Where you go is where I follow
I was lost, then you came round
Are you my final destination
my final destination -
So I drifted on down from the Iron Ore Range
Across the wide Missouri where the cool waters flow
When I got to Topeka I looked up your name
But they said you rode off with the last rodeo
Sweet Amarillo
Tears on my pillow
You never will know
How much I cried
Sweet Amarillo
Like the wind in the willows
Damn this old cowboy
For my foolish pride -
Goodbye my friend
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friend
The stars wait for me
Who knows where we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea
To the sea -
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea
Racing on my memories
I'm glad I set my dreams
Tip toe, tip toe quickly
Forget about your cares
And remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Just remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air -
What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you anytime of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

They call it stormy Monday, yes but Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday's even worse; Thursday's awful sad
The eagle flies on Friday, Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church where I kneel down and pray -

Later I tried to call you
Your mama told me you weren't there
She told me don't bother to call again
Unless I cut off all my hair
I get so tired of sneakin' around
Just to get to your back door
I crawled past the garbage and
Your mama jumped out, screamin'
"Don't come back no more"
My guitar wants to kill your mama
My guitar wants to kill your mama
My guitar wants to burn your dad
I get real mean when it makes me mad-

I hold many great memories from my childhood about Christmas and the yearly traditions that go with it. It is kinda sad that people don't value those traditions that much anymore.
My family had a greenhouse business, so Christmas was a big deal. There were wreaths to be made, ( ah, the smell of fresh cut pine boughs) and decorated. The greenhouse was full of poinsettias and cyclamen and other holiday plants that delightfully decorated the inside. The whole family (Aunts, Uncles, cousins) gathered to help with decorating, delivering and such. At the end all that would be left were a couple plants that no one wanted and maybe a wreath or two.
Everything culminated with Christmas Eve dinner. Everyone gathered to celebrate in our Grandparents house and after a good dinner, the sweets were laid out. There were every kind of cookie known to man, Christmas pie and cakes, and the only thing that was not home made were a couple of kuechens from the Genesee Bakery a christmas tradition that was "Oh so good" .(still is)
After deserts and coffee, the adults would peel off for a cocktail, and all the kids would chase each other around the mostly empty greenhouse playing tag or some other game.
When things settled down we would all open a couple of presents, and then it was time for the older kids and adults to head off to midnight mass. The younger kids were put to bed and coerced to go to sleep, otherwise Santa wouldn't show up. Of course Santa always did show up. He may have not had exiting expensive toys but every kid got a present from Santa.
Christmas day featured another great dinner and deserts, and the day ended with all gathering together for stories (many we heard again and again) from the olden days. I didn't always appreciate this part of the day when I was young, but as I got older this was my favorite part of the holiday.

I got it all together now with my very own disco clothes, hey
My shirt's half open to show you my chain and the spoon for up my nose
I am really somethin', that's what you'd prob'ly say
So smoke your little smoke
Drink your little drink while I dance the night away -
You know when there's thunder
There should be rain
But it don't always follow the rule, no
And is the wise man always right?
No, he can play the fool
It's always a mystery
Not what it seems to be
It's always a mystery
Just like you and me
Always a mystery-

Last night it snowed for the first time
Everything's covered in white
How many months till the springtime
It's a long winter's night
I have to go, I feel I'm sinkin'
I just don't know
But I can't stop thinkin'

I always was creeped out by this song about a guy dying in the ambulance after he was in a plane crash. He describes in detail how mangled and bloody his body was and how he fealt through the whole thing.
The song was based on a band member that was involved in a small plane crash and subsequentially died.
The band, Bloodrock, in my opinion was a solid rockband for its time, featuring John Nitzinger, one of my favorite guitarist.

Weed is the next big government revenue cash engine across the United States. It just makes too much money to ignore in a time period of pensions and pretty much every state government flat broke and desperate for cash. With so many states either losing taxpayers or no longer generating replacement taxpayers, it's an attractive revenue source.
After that, it'll be legalized prostitution. Sounds wild, but it'll find its way into conversation. Think about the billions you'd make from a casino that offers booze, gambling, weed, and prostitution for however much money you've got. You''ll grease a lot of palms with that revenue.
There fixed it for you.

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen them go, go, go
They said, "Hey, sugar,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
All right, huh-

These guys were local to our neighborhood. Saw them many times at the Arcade and Red Creek. They went on to be a national act, and I actually saw them in the 80's in Phoenix.
My Roomate was a drinking acquaintence of Greg Walker, and Greg once gave him 4 of their albums (including this one) as a souvenir when he visited his studio, they are one of his prized possessions to this day.

Fitting for today:
This is one of I and the wife's all time favorites. We played it yesterday, before dinner. We all even sang it in 4 part harmony (after it came around on the guitar again)

Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines
They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name
As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky began to fall
You can see their shadows in the light of the moon
They had heard the gypsies' callOoh, hurry Sundown

Me and all my friends We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and,
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means To rise above and beat it
