Have a nice weekend world.

remembering Janis


Onstage, I make love to 25,000 people, then I go home alone. People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards, well, to summarize, Big Brother is doing great and I just may be a "star" one day. You know, it's funny. As it gets closer and more probable, being a star is losing its meaning, But what ever it means I'm ready!--


Janis Joplin, in a letter to her mother, summer 1967
If Elvis was the King she is assuredly my Queen!

There is a change in the air!

Price to pay

http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/song_2376867



New Demo is posted. My catholic roots are showing.

Price to Pay music and lyrics written and recorded by B.Kirby 2009

There have been changes all around You know my life's been turned upside down. But it's alright,Yes it's alright we all have to pay a price sometime, a price sometime. my cup it ain't empty there is still room to fill It ain't what I want, but I will do as you will, and it's alright, yes it's alright we all have to pay a price sometime. There is a reason for it all pride always comes before a fall now is the time to stand tall show me the way, the way through it all. The storm is still raging no rainbow in sight But I know your promise will keep me alive and that's alright, yes it's alright we all have to pay a price sometime, a price sometime. we all need to pay a price sometime...

Saturday


A day of doing some work on the new tune, making some pudding and doing a little soul searching. Just what the doctor ordered. I was just perusing some old literature and came across this little jewel..."When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." -- Sinclair Lewis

Well said Mr.Lewis. Watching these orchestrated town hall mobs I see it already.

Bigotry and intolerance, silenced by argument, endeavors to silence by persecution, in old days by fire and sword, in modern days by the tongue .....!

Oh well, what do I know. I am just an old fashioned dyed in the wool liberal. And, proud of it!

Such deep thoughts on a warm Saturday. Have a great weekend world.

back to the grind

Seattle, Washington DC and New Orleans. I should not complain. But, I will. I am not ready for the summer to be over and the drudge of everyday starting up again. I guess it is time to re focus on the story and some new music. That will help me make it till next time I say bon voyage and head out to places new and old.
I hope everybody had a good summer.

Big wheels keep on turnin'....

Hot Monday


Worked on several domestic projects, as well a new song for Eric. With all the changes in my life I knew it was just a matter of time before the juices would flow ,and I would spit out some blues tune about them.

Working title is "Price to pay" and I hope to have a demo out in a few short days.

Today was just too hot to really get motivated to do much of anything.

Hope your day was good.

Got a prickling in my brain that tells me something cool is about to happen soon....!
