this and that


So, I am looking at building a home studio. Or, as it also known a black hole in my garage!

But, I need to improve my recording and production capacity if I really want to get more serious about song writing,video production and recording. So many horror stories about home studios!!

Sunshine


Well the rain is gone for a few hours. Let the sunshine in.

There is nothing wrong with rainy,cold days. They remind me of my childhood.

But, a little sun shine does not hurt. So , I put on my vinyl version of "Here comes the sun", sigh deeply and dive into a new day. Hope yours is good.

picking up the pieces


Sometimes life deals you cards you just want to throw back on the table. It does not work that way. Just when you think you have a path planned out, the road curves and you have to take a detour. With the on set of years you wonder how many more detours and crossroads will you have to face. I don't believe the answer is even attainable. Until the day you take your last breath, nothing will go exactly as you envisioned it.


"Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans"

John Lennon

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...

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!--

If Elvis was the King she is assuredly my Queen!

Life is ready to take some new turns soon. Stay tuned. With baited breath I am sure!
There is a change in the air!

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.

Price to Pay


Got a new song coming out on reverbnation soon. Very different theme for yours truly.

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.

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....!

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.
