Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

WTMD
playin' all the shit I like
like i was willing the DJ
to give me what I needed
or at least it felt like that
those James Brown horns changed
my whole attitude
Funk for the melancholy
is a valid genre
but not represented alongside
the afro pop and cowboy punk
at the grammies, cuz
it's a therapeutic genre
unknown to doctors, I reach
for the george clinton CD
parliament
funkadelic.................
stay healthy my friends

we want the funk
WTMD Towson
writing
biting
nailed it
railed it
hang with it
you'll never fail it
Friday night
I seen so many things I ain't never seen before
out last night seeing a band
guitar player friend
friend of mine fronting too
Wild rockin at Nola
there's plenty a good rockin in the free world.....

see no evil
kinda like the bow evil
the do-waka-do
got me in a stew
on the internet getting old
but yet ever so bold
I won't be put on hold

no muzak man
gotta feel the real
and samba the soul

goin' down to rosedale
not the cream rosedale
the one near baltimore
on the woodsy grounds
the american legion hall property
what a hoot, red white and the blues
the 21st annual Alonzos Blues Picnic
and the lineup doesn't disappoint
the young and the old collide
to keep the blues alive...and
the weather looks great, not too hot
partly cloudy, but no rain...
so you pack your cooler and
grab your folding camp chair and
boogie on down
I like to venture into the woods
walk along the creek, you can hear
the music like you were standing
in front of the stage, and the old folks
boogie on their little feat...man do I miss
little feat, saw them the last time
at hammerjacks in balto and I was in awe
but let me not digress, today is all about the blues
and the senior citizens will be dancing
hope a few more young ones show up this year
'cause we all gonna die one day and who
will keep the blues alive ?

blues pledge
i swear to play the blues
to offer the blues
to fan the flames of blues
as long as i live
in the presence of the young
i, being of sound mind and finite life expectancy,
- signed and sealed
jw

livin the blues
lovin the blues
livin, lovin in the mornin
and the evening too
after midnight will do
Labor Day in the u.s.a.
nice cool day at the
cross roads of America
fall down on my knees
John Lee Hooker 100th
let's Boogie!

This is my news thread. I stop by here to find out what everyone's up to.

jam lives!!!

saw the fam yesterday
brother sister father niece nephew
ate like a hog corn on the cob
tomatoes, burgers, salad...adult beverages
my sister gave my daughter Eria
an embroidered scarf that belonged
to my mother, the original Eria
and there it was hand stitched with her name
it was my mom's when she first got married
and when mom passed my sister inherited it
and she gave it to her daughter ...my niece
when she turned 21....sadly my niece was killed
before her 22nd birthday, before my daughter
was even born....and so...when I brought my daughter home
from the hospital and told my sister her name would be Eria
she knew she would keep the scarf until my daughter's 21st
birthday, and so the chain is unbroken from mother to daughter
to granddaughter to different granddaughter
the circle of life rolls like wheel

jam on me!!!
funky music on the tunes
cool, jazzy
got my omlete order in at jojo's
golf on tube, European masters
always better in Europe
cold over there, stocking caps on
in the streets in Frederick today
market street closed & bands on every corner

rev it up
ready for some football
no particular team
just wanna see a good game
good days and bad daze
this is one of the better ones
got my fingers crossed here at jojo's

appreciate the time
to be
unfettered by impossible bosses
dig
the woods, the kids, the friendships
lucky
waking up in no pain or dread
each moment
has such powerful implications
and so
I won't assume it will always be the same
I'll live
today with a heavy dose of gusto
I'll love
with all the energy I can muster
tomorrow
is miles and miles and miles away

the poet touch
magic with sound
written by another

All the way around ---
That sounds so like sporano
Sing it now while we allow you in
The wind is a hymn
Listen carefully to the voice inside
That wants the best for you
Carry me in your arms
Moon and stars do not hide the secrets of love
