Speaking only for myself...your going to have to be just a bit more definitive if there's something in particular that you would like me to hear. ":O}
 
Have you been able to maintain a group of friends or family.? How is your health these days.

I first came across Johnny in the movie the Blues brothers 2000.

He's grown on me since.

I've listened to Jonny for a long time now.

Jonny Lang is a great player, and an even better singer. He had that voice already when he was just a kid, playing on the bar circuit at 17 or 18 years old. If you listen to some of his early work, you'll hear what I'm talking about.

My favorite, "Red Light"

And "Breakin' Me":

George, I spent 10 years on the mat Principally Tae Kwon Do. And I can tell that The absolutely the most meaningless way to judge an opponent is by the color of their skin. Skin color is quite literally the shallowest measure of a person, nothing can tell you less about them.

I ask you to look back over the artists we've chosen to post and ask yourself can you really make any determination to their accomplishments or their talents by examining their skin?

If, and indeed they have, Blacks have led most if not all of the major trends in music for my lifetime and continue to excel in what they have begun; then I would submit that it's cultural.

They have been citizens of a country within a country. When people are oppressed they turn inward. When people turn inward they find themselves as how could they not. But few who are not oppressed ever turn inward with determination

When one penetrates something,Grasps something without concept, in it's original unadulterated form, . be it self or music, one has joy.

When one is oppressed, one experiences, frustration, sorrow, anger and fear.
Now NOBODY not even me is going to like this But oppression is the climate within which the master teaches his students.
Think not?
10,000 times. This is the way nature teaches your body, 10,000 times Muscle memory requires 10,000 times.
But that's just to get good, to become great, for that there is no number.

Constant repletion is oppression. But if one finds guidance in their turning inward one can penetrate to the very heart of what oppress one. When one penetrates something, one finds joy. If one learns a new chord or fingering
one finds joy.

In the teachings of Don Juan. Carlos is sitting with his teacher in an outdoor cafe in Mexico city .
As they eat they watch dirty little boys and girls dressed in rags rushing in as people leave to clean the remains from the patrons plates.

Don Juan stares at Carlos and then in an accusatory voice asks him,
"You feel sorry for them don't you?
Carlos is shocked and a bit offended
"Yes I do.! Who wouldn't! They have nothing, they live in dirt and dress in rags,
Don Juan nods and says
"I thought you wanted to become a man of knowledge."
Carlos is puzzled to say the least.
I do want that! I do want to see as you see.

Don Juan continues:
These boys have a chance to have a chance.
The world will not leave them alone, it will exert constant pressure and force them to turn inward and examine the nature of their oppression.
Most will not and will live embittered lives. There are no guarantees.
They only have a chance to have a chance. But the ones who do become men of knowledge.

Men of knowledge always have a chance, they create it within themselves."

It is cultural..

FYI Biologically speaking there is no such thing as race beyond the Human Race.
There are just different colored people and color is meaningless as biological classification.
What you find beneath every skin in an individual.

what kind of individual, well for that, we all have to look a little deeper don't we.":O}

I forgot that this is a funny song, over the years the visions of the modern machines that mark the horrors in my life took sway.

Another take on a favorite song... Honestly I laughted and cried when I found this just now....Little people just keep amazing me. A new voice just being born.


The lyrics modified to meet the occasion...Somehow i seriously doubt that Leonard would mind.

Where to begin.I don't quite know how to answer without sounding like a real PPM!.Marine laughed when she saw what name I used online.I like the irony of it. She understood right from the jump-and approved!
I'm dealing with health issues that are serious. Besides being bi-polar,areal ball breaker. I have spinal stenosis,hep c,(aleft over from the good ol' days!)and Parkinson's disease. All are being dealt with quite well this last couple of years.
As far as family is concerned, my two brothers live and farm here in Othello.They moved me here from Spokane about 5yrs ago and I have been slowly climbing upwards ever since.
I'm doing well.

The timeless technical master Jeff Beck, and my absolute favorite cover of "'Cause We've Ended As Lovers". George, you will love the bass playing of Tal Wilkenfeld. She was 20 years old here, and already considered to be one of the most exciting bass players in the world:

Given your up bringing it may follow you thee rest of your life...

if you let it.

"Purity of heart means to will one thing."
Kierkegaard.

Think about that. Always willing one thing. If we must choose one thing to will then we must choose very carefully.
Is there just one thing we can safely will in all times and in all places?

Thank the heavens there is. I mean that thank the Heavens RIGHT NOW!

And may understand what I'm about to say.

We can will to have pure and unblemished hearts, we can will the Good.

We spoke of this earlier.

"The original nature of man is good.
But it becomes clouded by contact with Earthly things"

(We become entangled in desire, passion and stubbornness which leads inevitably to sorrow.)

"our natures must be purified before they can shine forth again in their native clarity.

"All well and good to will the good, but what if I find my will is already corrupted and will not let go of the "10,000 things to be desired."

Ah there's the rub"

Lucky for you I'm here to tell you how to become a breaker of chains.

How can we enter what only allows purity to grow fourth, to pass from entanglements into Grace.

The answer is indeed not easy for all that it is clear and simple.

This is man's eternal choice. To do what I want or to do what is wanted of me.

I say eternal because the choice is every moment before us.
But also because what we choose will have eternal consistences.

We are called by our own souls to undertake and then to constantly search our hearts lest they harbor any secretive opposition to the will of God.

"So I find such opposition in my heart what then?"

You must go to war for your god if you wish him to go to war for you.

You must root out all such opposition for it is the death of your own happiness.

We must be constantly vigilant that what we want does not annihilate what we need.
"When we are never to tired day or night to see the good is done. Only then can we be said to be sincere,"

Now comes immediacy now comes almost unbearable intimacy of the NOW in it's eternal moment!

What lies in your heart NOW? How to bring correction Now?

Here's possibly the most obvious secret in the whole world.

To be truly present in the now, you must leave all your head trips behind. You must silence yourself and listen..
Listen to what your heart is thinking. Yes that's right your head is really only there to listen to your heart and find a way to bring the light of your hearts to expression.

This is the part that leaves the pikers weeping in the dust.

We must Choose this. we must choose this every minute of every day. This is what we must be about.

When we greet our friends, when we take our meals, when we are asleep when we are awake we must be listening to our hearts lest thy harbor any secret opposition to the will of God.

Beware! My Teacher once told me that :

"God don't accept no part time lovers."

This is the heavenly journey. This IS how to move forward into transcendence and the sacred world.

If the mind is focused upon listening it can't be talking, it can't be lusting the latest bright and shiny.

Again nothing can be accomplished here by force. A gentle penetration the reaches the very center of your heart is what is called for.

We must trust ourselves and follow where our hearts lead us checking always every minute lest you harbor any opposition to the will of God.

"This means letting the fish swim free in the sea."

Let your thought go where they will, you are only an observer now.

You are only the guard at the gate to the NOW.

You must follow the path without wanting to get anywhere. Your job is not to progress but only to see that you ARE progressing.
God is in no hurry, why should you be.

I'm mean nobody can storm and rush the now..to enter the now we must be on time...His time., you know that guy with the great big hands and tiny tiny fingers.

Big enough to hold a universe and tiny enough to enter your smallest thought un-noticed.

"Life leads the thoughtful man upon a path of many windings."

We never expect to end up where we do we just end up there.":O}
I remembered that you had extensive medical difficulties. I "think" we first met around the time Marine was passing, may God smile upon her. I know that was a terrible time for you both.

Personally I can't imagine what it is like to be unable to trust your own brain. Bi-polar as you say, a real bitch!

As your difficulties in no way are indicated by your posts, which is a good thing! LOL
It leaves me without much to go on as far as how and to what extent you are effected by your malady.

When last we spoke of these things you were having real difficulties getting about. Has that eased up for you at all?

And Where the Hello is Othello? I know it's in the great state, but where in WA?

You've got a real love of music, I hope that brings some relief from time to time.

I guess I'm saying if you need to reach out I'm here.

In my time I have know quite a few medical set backs as well, one ear gone legs don't work beyond a hundred paces, the whole shingles thing..four times! LOL

But one adapts and learns to live without regrets,

Some brothers you have there! It's good to have family...you can relate to.
Well I have to go see a man about posting some songs.
I'm doing fine as well ":O}

Good talk! LOL
 
One of the most beautiful women in this world, she sings a bit two...
