Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

one man
one bowl

open hand
searches for open heart

Hands on
The do
Waka do
Wabi sabi
Romance
Above the
Place of
Putting values
Razor sharp
I believe, I believe
& Jam is my song

Humid night
Storms rolling thru
Rumbles of thunder
Under the big hat

One day
@ a time
Scratching surfaces
Testing boundaries
Knowing 1st thought
Mind
Mansions
Plain old visions
Ionian adventure
Colossus of Rhodes
Immensity
That light house in Alexandria
must of been a sight to see
O shining in the darkest
Mediterranean night
Lost in asunder
Spells that held me under
All boils down to a Han Shan cave
Jammin!!!

and jam we do
from the inside to the outside
from the outside to the in
we watch the fishermen
with their lines in the river
we come from the graves of parents
grandparents and ancestors
to see the living going from
this activity to that
to see the sun rise
& the moon set
we move & do & join ourselves
to the making of speech
& the singing of songs

Ebb & flow
Jam
Turn the tides
Jam
Nonstop
Jam
Everything turning
Boiling
The stew
The mix
Concoctions of every
Imaginable variety
Pure Jam

Like a breeze drifting
from offshore
Shells illuminated
in the sand
Toes wet,
mind on stars
Moon shining,
rabbit turning time
Sea receding,
slight chill runs
the Voodoo down
tonight

i got ravens around here now
i mean crows got a lot vocabulary
but ravens are the real jammers
man they get to carrying on no end
whew!
right here in the neighborhood
every day
sometimes i've spent a good hour
listening to them go go go
God bless their black feathered hides!

Ok the parties over
I guess
Workin the wire day
Couple a projects going
It's one job I'll always have
Money tight
Everybody scrambling
Damn shame it's finishing
this way, but
The jams good
the wire flows
Dropping it to 4th gear
Checking out the scenery
Here in the land of Nevermore

yeah money tight
teeth aching
playing online chess right thru
'til I go cross-eyed tonight
thunderstorms passing brought down
leaves & branches

We had em
Big wind blew in 1st
Limbs all over place

Tore a broiler apart today
Heavy day, scrambling
Doin the dirty work
No fool here
Just a jammer

i got the deep down dark flat bone blues
can't fight 'em
can't right 'em
can't ward them off
what's a body to do
with these deep down dark
flat bone blues?

Darkness on the surround
Listening to beautiful voices
Moan
Brazilian beat reggae song
This here concrete jungle
Night falling
Storms cruzzn' through
Blues in all it's ever lubbin' shades
Was that stooge really a proper gent
Rain all over the wood
Pressure treated by the gods of industry
Floyd pink singin'
Blues prevailing
The truest bluest sayer
Time for some R. L. Burnside
