LIVING ROOM PARTY 49

SKETCH

composite of two other crystal beth sketches....with a lot of crystal beth stuff right now I'm working variations for voice + voice, voice + clarinet, and obviously voice + drum, which I still have many troubles with....I essentially have to sing both parts in my head/core at the same time to get them to happen simultaneously...intonation on top of that is a bit challenging...little by little it becomes more comfortable and it feels incredible!

A year ago I couldn't do this!!!!

ALWAYS IN BLACK



Well you wonder why I always dress in black
why you never see bright colors on my back
and why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone
well, there's a reason for the things that I have on

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
but is there because he's a victim of the times

I wear the black for those who've never read
or listened to the words that Jesus said
about the road to happiness through love and charity
why, you'd think he's talking straight to you and me

Well, we're doin' might fine, I do suppose
in our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes
but just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
up front there ought to be a Man in Black.

I wear it for the sick, and lonely, old
for the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been
each week we lose a hundred fine young men

And yes I wear it for the thousands who have died
believin' that the Lord was on their side
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
believin' that we all were on their side

Well, there's things that never will be right I know
and things need changin' everywhere you go
but til we start to make a move to make a few things right
You'll never see me wear a suit of white

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day
and tell the world that everything's okay
but I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
til things are brighter, I'm the man in black....

A NOTE FROM MY GRANDFATHER

NOTICE THOSE WHO TALK ABOUT PEOPLE AND THOSE WHO TALK ABOUT IDEAS...

THINK ABOUT THAT.

NEEDS

I WILL CONTINUE TO REACH OUT.

WE ALL NEED LOVE.
WE ALL NEED SUPPORT.

BEWARE - BEWARE!!!!

beware the illusion of ease

I'm sorry. I know. but it's just not easy - ever...
just accept that it's hard and dive in, face it, move WITH it,
and the pain goes away.
...what makes you think it is supposed to be 'easier'
there's no other way. you just have to do the work.
every day - living takes work.
healthy sustainable existence requires maintenance.
there is no destination.

stop talking. start walking.

HELLO OLD FRIEND

It is through conflict (internal or external) that we often learn the most about ourselves, thus enabling further calibration for optimum resonant alignment - with such good that can come out of it, why do we hide from it instead of embrace it face to face with a gentle smile and a little respect?

IMPORTANT NOTE

---------------
I AM NOT STUPID
---------------


that notion was planted a long long time ago, delivered as a result of other's negative programming, based in fear and insecurity.

I am not stupid.




I AM HUMAN.

THE WORK

sometimes as frank I feel like a doula..
and it is the most amazing feeling to trudge through the emotions/needs/experience of an individual and help that artist give birth to their vision/voice.
sometimes it is a long hard labor, but the reward is so immense.

I love my work/life!!
