Yes........these streets are pretty empty. But I came back to hear what you have been doing. Just a quick listen to Quicksand so far. I could hear you returning to form as the song progressed. Reverse guitar!!!!

 

Glad you are writing again.

 

I will listen more a bit later.

A tribute to Leonard Cohen:

 

 

 

A new original:

 

 

 

The women stayed up past

Their self-appointed bedtimes

The men they drank well past

Their self-apportioned quotas

 

And we talked of this and that

Deep into the night

 

(She said)

You guys look just the same

Which seemed a little strange

As many years have passed

 

But when I looked

I saw that it was true

These are the faces that I knew

 

Back when our kids were small

At soccer in the fall

Or at the camporee

 

The sparks fly up

The flames die down

But the coals keep burning red

Until the morning

 

How could this come to be

This quirk of memory

Has time been standing still

 

Has familiarity

Buffed our faces free

Of all the things we’ve shared

 

Or wiped away the masks

That flatten out our pasts

Affording us a glimpse

Into each other’s souls

 

The sparks fly up

The flames die down

But the coals keep burning red

Until the morning

 

In the bathroom light

My eyes are deep and dark

With bags as black as coal

 

I was so surprised

When I looked into my eyes

I didn’t know myself

 

It’s the fantasy of fifty

Fantasy of fifty

Ram!!!

 

So good to see you......and to hear you again. That Cohen piece was poignantly performed. Very bold and effective production. Kudos for that.

 

You and I seem to have both come to accept who we are musically and to actually accentuate those facets of our musical personalities that separate us from the crowd.

 

I listened through to Fantasy of Fifty and only then read the lyrics. Your writing is exceptional and you are very good at putting that writing into music. I read so many sets of lyrics that I know will never work in music.....yours always do....always.

 

The sparks fly up

The flames die down

But the coals keep burning red

Until the morning
