moving time

Today I will be moving my Mother in Law's furniture and disolving the remnants of her solo life. She has moved into my guestroom for the unforeseeable future. She is 92 years old, physically sound but mentally fading fast. I believe my life is about to change drastically. Keep me in your thoughts.

On the brighter side of life I have an entire new chapter of GRB almost ready to publish! Drummers and keyboard players. What a special breed. God love 'em. Somebody needs to.

simple

When it gets down to it-- when you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream."
JL-'69

sometimes you just have to let it go.

good day

I took my father to see his elderly bro 2 day. Good visit , tears of joy and frustration at the curse of aging, disease decay and dimentia.

"...take a sad song and make it better".

Just needed to say that.

Sometimes listening to the words coming from a mind slowly checking out, gives you some perspective on where you are and where you need to go .

I remember when I was a young lad going fishing with these two gentlemen and looking at them with the critical minds eye of a young man who has all the answers.

"...Mother Mary comes to me"

It's all good, I saw some real love and courage today.

Let it be.

"Wastin' Time" Demo is posted....have a listen!

“Wastin’ time”
Words and music © B.Kirby

1. Yes we all know the feeling; there is more than we can do
But that’ really deceiving there is time enough for you
And all your planning and your scheming it will all catch up to you
Because we all have been giving time to do what we should do
Wastin’ time wasting time, wasting time wasting’ time.
It goes flying by don’t waste a minute wastin’ time.
2. Those days when you’re lonely, and things ain’t what they ought to be.
You’ll understand the reason, why time catches up to you
And leaves you clouded in confusion as no one listens to you
You left it all behind, the remnants of your mind
Wastin’ time wasting time, wasting time wastin’ time.
It goes flying by don’t waste a minute wasting time.
3. And before it’s too late, baby don’t you hesitate.
Do all you can do, and make your dreams all come true?
And don’t you throw them away so you don’t regret the day
You let them slip away and now your hair is turning gray
Wastin’ time wasting time, wasting time wastin’ time.
It goes flying by don’t waste a minute wasting time.

A nice diversion from humdrum existence

Soccer game: Chelsea FC vs Club America 2:0

At the new Cowboy stadium in Arlington,TX. - July 26 ,2009

JJ must be proud of that Monster. Impressive display of technology and construction. The Romans would have loved it for their games too. Give them Gladiators, beer and games and they'll be happy. Game was good though. Grandson enjoyed it almost as much as I did. Garth Brooks flipped the coin, and Jerry Jones presented the trophy after the match.

this and that

Working on a new song. A two step goodie called "Wasting time, wasten' time". Should be ready in a couple of days. Preparing for a little trip to New Orleans in August to gather some inspiration and pictures for the work in process "My name be Blue" video. Almost finished with another installment of "Garage Rock Blues" as well. Busy,busy,busy!

Take it slow, stay cool.

another journey

Just returned from a journey to Washington DC. Ironic, last week I was in Seattle, Washington. This week in the city of Washington. That's the place that has "taxation without representation."

No Senators to represent the people of DC. Does not seem fair. If you have not done so, check out my new music video ..Triviality.. on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EexMtyYs88M

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and have a great 4th of July. Couple more summer trips coming up and then it is back to the writing project. I have dozens of anecdotes ready to put in story form. Just have to get motivated!

Peace
