I can't control my fingers

I can't control my brain

Oh no, no, oh, oh oh

-The Ramones

All I can do when I hear this song is dance and move my head side to side when it goes:

ba, ba, ba, bamp, ba, ba, ba, bamp, i wanna be sedated

LOVE this song! But I don't like my teeth here. With or w/o the processing, bokeh teeth just didn't work today. :P

For Musically Challenged

If I were a boy

I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her

Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

Cause he's taking you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

Waiting for me to come home, to come home.

~If I Were A Boy by Reba

Musically challenged

Nothing ever happens as demonstrated by 9 shots taken once an hour from noon to 8 pm. Shots taken from the garage, I was trying for it not to move at all so I could splice them all together nicely but that didn't quite work...there was obviously a bit of movement but heck if I know how that happened...there was a pedestrian walking by in one of these pictures but she wasn't in the right place in the frame to show up at the appropriate window, don't ask how the freakin' cat managed it...this was my first try at a piece for the musically challenged group. Kinda hoping I'll get better at this as I go along...but it was fun anyway!

Musically inclined students compete as SVC's "The Voice" continues.

This photo is much more than a simple entry for the Musically Challenged group. For the past six months Ethan has been fighting one of the most difficult battles of his life. Several things--injuries as a child, slightly malformed hips, possibly a body triangle in BJJ--conspired to put him in almost constant back pain. Life suddenly had to be drastically curtailed--karate, gymnastics, coaching, driving, fighting. Simple things, like picking up kids at church, or running out to the mailbox, had to stop.

Now, if you don't know Ethan, you have no idea difficult this was for him. Ethan is one of the most energetic, movement centered people I know. Ethan exists to challenge himself, and most of the time that means physically. Why walk into the water when you can jump off a cliff and do a full twisting front flip? Why stand around at the gas station when you can try to run up the wall? The last tournament he fought in before his back started bothering him he won the Super Fight, a 16 man tournament open to anybody. In the championship fight he literally smiled the entire time--he loved every minute of it. So for him to be so crippled was devastating.

Ethan took it all like a man. He didn't complain when there was nothing we could do to help him. He just quietly worked towards getting better...working hard at physical therapy, swimming lap after lap to strengthen his back. He went to karate class and sat in a chair while teaching. He would go to BJJ class and listen intently to the instructor, then quietly practice techniques in his mind since his body couldn't.

Praise God, Ethan is now better. Joshua (another brother of mine) will be testing for his black belt later this month, and Ethan will be able to fight him at the test--a rite of passage and a time of bonding. All because Ethan wouldn't back down.

This would be my ridiculously tall, musically inclined, chiptune loving, hilarious, super sweet, "i will follow you into the dark" playing, amazing boyfriend.

I love him very very much. He makes me so happy and feel so comfortable & safe.

happyyyyy five months, Trevor. I love you <3

High five ! =P

Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017

Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.

In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.

The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.

They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.

In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.

I got this sweet T-Shirt for my Birthday from my awesome Flickr friend Ubermummy. It came all the way from Jolly Old England, how cool is that!

Thank you very much Elana :-)

Atmosphere – “Saves The Day”

Album: God Loves Ugly

Lyrics: www.sing365.com/music/Lyric.nsf/Saves-the-Day-lyrics-Atmo...

Listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd-JAAE7MPM

From the fifth floor, I schedule my meeting with the moon

Stress, let it go, so it don't completely consume.

When the vegetables fight back, and the grass starts to sting

I yell up to Heaven to get me the hell out of this dream

I fell out of my stream of self-consciousness

And I've got welts on my mind to signify all my accomplishments.

No matter whose math you use to count to ten,

Progress will never rest in the hand that has no head.

Bought my brain a cane and asked it to be my pimp

You know, to make sure I don't stuck up in my fuck-ups

A little over anxious I was to bust nuts,

And find the answers making love, out of a canvas full of touch-ups

I dipped my brush into the what, I've wept for

And wonder out loud as I can, how long I've slept for

I should rob a pet store, let the dogs wild

I should close all the schools just to make the kids smile

Seize the limit, let the sky be the moment

Put the key to the ignition I'ma ride these donuts

And when it breaks, lock the door, walk away

There won't be nothing else to talk about, nothing left to say

You will have to be a math geek to really appreciate this one.

Funny, on the day I made fun of Tara for some fancy words (ennui), I get nerdy with numbers.

Also, this can be considered a tribute to Kevin and Marcelle. Although this is a relatively simple shot, it is SOOC with on camera flash, if I did not know them, I would not have thought to figure out how to do it. Thanks guys!

The saddest thing is you could be anything

That you could want

We could have been everything

But now we're not

Now it's not anything at all

The hardest part was getting this close to you

And giving up this dream i built with you

A fairytale that isn't coming true

You've got some growing up to do

More than a thousand people enjoyed the first Imjin Proms on Saturday.

The concert and outdoor festival event raised money for three military service charity associations with entertainment ranging from a musically choreographed Spitfire display to children's activities.

"The weather's held off and it's been a fantastic evening, with a fantastic range of music, with parachutists, and airplanes, and it's all just been going very well from my point of view," said Simon Footer, the main event coordinator from the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund.

Imjin Barracks, a Royal Air Force base that served for decades, has been home since 2010 to the event's other main host, NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps

Lt.Gen. Tim Evans, ARRC commander, welcomed the crowd with gratitude, wishing everyone a splendid evening, and thanking Aramark and other sponsors. The general envisioned the event more than a year ago to be a way for Imjin and other nearby military communities to share a memorable evening with Gloucestershire.

Sharing the experience of the Spitfire display brought many emotions to the diverse crowd. Presenter Peter Dickson said he was moved by the arial display, as that plane holds a special place in British hearts, answering a call in the 1940's with young pilots when "our backs were really against the wall, it delivered the effect we needed." Remembering them and the sacrifice of so many is important and one theme for the evening, he continued. The whole night has "surpassed expectation."

"I've painted many of them as a kid, but that's the first time I've ever seen one," said presenter Lewis Macleod, in a sincere moment backstage when he wasn't keeping the crowd laughing with his voice impressions between acts. "It was really beautiful."

The plane flew to classical music played by The Band of the Royal Air Force College, who also lit up the evening with a finale and fireworks around 10 pm. Other music included a pop-music cover set by the Adjutant Generals Corps' Band who got people up and dancing from their picnic blankets and chairs. The crowd also witnessed the precision of The Royal Marines Band and 19th Regimental Royal Artillery Pipes and Drums.

Children representing their school's talent, the Innsworth Military Wives Choir, and many others performed during the evening to the local crowd. The event succeeded in opening the gates of Imjin to the community and there is a hope to see more of these kinds of events in future.

I don't care what you've done

I know in the end you'll have your fun

But you can't have it here

And I won't let you steer

You know I don't want you in my mind

yesterday i posted a status that read:

"not sure why i thought there was change happening. same song and dance, apparently. one day i might excuse myself mid-song & walk away from the dance floor."

today there is still side-stepping happening, and i hate it that much more b/c it's another 'drop of water' added to the bucket.

thank you to everyone that wrote to me concerned. i heart you all.

One of my favourite performers to photograph, Fatoumata Diawara. She is an absolute joy...musically and photographically.

This is from her gig with Cuban pianist Roberto Fonseca at this year's WOMAD Festival.

I first saw Fatou on stage at WOMAD in 2009, when she was a backing singer to Oumou Sangare. She really stood out because of her smile and her personality.

Vusi Mahlasela

Guiding Star (Naledi Ya Tsela)- ATO Records- March 6, 2007

One of the hardest things to learn as a musician is when to not only recognize inspiration, but when to trust and follow it. Over a musically and socially consequential career, South African singer-songwriter and poet-activist Vusi Mahlasela has successfully followed his muse. That trust in his gift is at the root of his latest album, Guiding Star.

Mahlasela wrote and recorded this album as he toured the globe. Its soul-stirring title is very much a product of the new friends he's met and experiences he's had touring. Bearing the influences of various music and voices from throughout the world, Guding Star features guest appearances from friend (and partial ATO Records label head) Dave Matthews ('Sower of Words'), band leader and Allman Brothers guitarist Derek Trucks ('Tibidi Waka'), Australian didgeridoo star Xavier Rudd ('Chamber of Justice'), singer-songwriter Jem ('Everytime') and longtime friends and touring mates Ladysmith Black Mambazo ('Heaven In My Heart'). Mahlasela also drew on the talents of numerous South African guests, including the legendary 'Black Moses' Ngwenya of the Soul Brothers, the children's choir from the Agnes Chidi School in his home Township, Mamelodi, and the KCC Gospel, among many others.

Mahlasela, an accomplished guitarist, percussionist, composer, arranger, band leader and performer, has bridged generations at home and abroad. His sound is a hybrid of folk, world, blues and soul, one that connects South Africa's Apartheid-scarred past with its promise for a better future. Over the past three years of heavy, world-wide touring and spreading his message, Mahlasela has remained true to his roots.

The bulk of Guiding Star was recorded on a farm in rural South Africa. Like any Vusi Mahlasela album, there are songs that connect him and the people of South Africa with both their past, present, and hopes for a better future: 'Song for Thandi' tells the story of detained freedom fighter Thandi Modise, while the affecting 'Sower of Words'—featuring Dave Matthews—is a lament for the late Black Consciousness poet and writer Ingoapele Madingoane, who wrote the influential poem 'Africa My Beginning, Africa My Ending.'

'There's a part on it where I needed a very strong voice to drive the message across, and Dave was the perfect voice,' Mahlasela says of the latter. 'Dave adds passionate, rich vocals to this song, taking it to a new level.'

Born Vusi Sidney Mahlasela Ka Zwane in 1965 in Lady Selborne, South Africa, Mahlasela became enchanted by music at an early age, building his first guitar out of tin and fishing line. Reared in Mamelodi Township, a vibrant artist community where he still resides, he gravitated toward poetry and songwriting as a teen, eventually joining youth organizations protesting South Africa's separatist, white government.

Reading poems at night vigils, funerals and anti-Apartheid marches triggered a long streak of police harassment. Local police soon began requiring that he keep them abreast of his whereabouts at all times, and his poems and songs were routinely confiscated—forcing him to memorize his work. It was a time when people like him would 'just disappear indefinitely,' he recalls, or, in Mahlasela's case, be held for periods of time. 'Somehow you get some sort of courage. You look at what's happening to your comrades, and you see that their struggle has to be testified—and you don't have to be afraid.'

In 1988, he joined the Congress of South African Writers, developing a new level of confidence as a poet and a writer. He struck up a creative friendship with South African poet Lesego Rampolokeng (who joins Mahlasela and Dave Matthews on 'Sower of Words'), while falling under the spell of artists like Miriam Makeba and Phillip Tabane and the work of Victor Jara— all central influences on Mahlasela's music and lyrics.

Mahlasela never knew his father, finally locating him in 2000, sadly, six months after his death. When he was in his early 20s, his mother collapsed in church, dying the same day, just a year after she'd proudly held his first recording in her hands and wept. He wrote the new song 'River Jordan' for her, and it was with her inspiration and the motivation of leaders like Nelson Mandela that Mahlasela crafter his official debut, 1991's When You Come Back, produced by Lloyd Ross, who returns to the controls for Guiding Star.

After the end of Apartheid, Vusi performed at Mandela's inauguration in 1994, and is now an ambassador to Mandela's 46664 Foundation, a campaign to help raise Global awareness of Aids/ HIV. Mahlasela proudly promotes Mandela's message at all of his performances. Having released a string of albums in South Africa, it wasn't until the debut in 2003 of the documentary film Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony, a film that charts South Africans' longtime struggle for racial equality, that Americans first glimpsed and heard Mahlasela. In a rave Los Angeles Times review, noted critic Robert Hilburn wrote: 'Vusi Mahlasela's voice is so pure and commanding; you wonder whether you should have gotten an entire album by him.'

Later that year, Americans did, with The Voice, a collection of the best songs from his catalog, all released for the first time in U.S. via the ATO Records label (co-owned by longtime fan and fellow South African Dave Matthews, who calls Mahlasela 'one of the most important influences of my life.). It was an album so chock full of beauty, soul and struggle that it had a profound effect on American listeners in the wake of 9/11—even though much of the album wasn't sung in English.

And that's a power that Mahlasela doesn't take lightly. A single listen to Guiding Star, is all one needs to be assured that Mahlasela is a gifted performer. And with that gift comes responsibility, says Vusi: 'I know that I have something that is like a borrowed fire from God. And I have to use it in a very positive way.'

Literally but not musically. Thomas Blug was outstanding. No added light here, just a couple of gelled ceiling spots.

It's a new week of songs in Musically Challenged, this time chosen by the wonderful Hurley*83.

I am not a big country fan, but the words to this song kinda fit perfectly about the way I feel.

Playing around with my homemade snoot some more. Didn't do much in processing, thought that was fitting for the song as well:-)

Common Man by John Conlee

As the maid poured wine and we prepared to dine I know I was feeling out of place

At table as large big as a river barge and I love you written all on your face

I appreciate your hospitality but I wish that we would go

Let me drive us to McDonald’s and I’ll talk to you concerning something you should really know

I’m just a common man drive a common van

My dog ain’t got a no pedigree

If I have my say, gonna stay that way

Cause high-browed people lose their sanity

And a common man is what I’ll be

I’ll take a Chevrolet just any day so give your daddy back his Mercedes Benz

And there’s some common people that I hang out with

They’re my good time buddies they’re my friends

And I’d rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser beer then sip a crystal glass of wine

So won’t you make your mind up to believe in me and leave this high living world behind?

I’m just a common man drive a common van

My dog ain’t got a no pedigree

If I have my say, gonna stay that way

Cause high-browed people lose their sanity

And a common man is what I’ll be

Yes I’m happy just being free

And I’m happy just being me

And I hope that you will see

I’m just a common man drive a common van

My dog ain’t got a no pedigree

If I have my say, gonna stay that way

Cause high-browed people lose their sanity

And a common man is what I’ll be

I’m just a common man drive a common van

My dog ain’t got a no pedigree

If I have my say, gonna stay that way

Cause high-browed people lose their sanity

And a common man is what I’ll be

Don't forget! Tomorrow is HBCCT Come on over and play!

During the late 1960’s Jazz music was undergoing a major metamorphosis. Miles Davis was musically in transition and went from the traditional acoustic quartet to a more funky electronic sound. Out went the stand-up bass and came the electronic bass. Out with the standard piano and came the Fender Rhodes. Many musicians in what would be hailed as Fusion jazz phase, took rock, soul, and other free form elements and centered it with an electronic base. Musicians like Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, Les McCann, Herbie Hancock, and Stevie Wonder used the Fender Rhodes as not a replacement to the standard piano, but as a means to create and experimental sound to evolve with the new music that took the world by storm.

Pianist and keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith is a pioneer in the fusion jazz/funk whelm, in that he came out of the gospel and mainstream jazz tradition and created his own flair of music that many musicians from Guru to Jamiroquai to Masters at Work have emulated in soul, hip-hop, and Latin music. Lonnie’s group “The Cosmic Echoes” music is still being sampled by hip-hop and R & B artists as well still played in dance clubs all over the world.

Lonnie Liston Smith, Jr. was born on December 28, 1940 in Richmond, Virginia. Music was always part of Lonnie’s life. His father, Lonnie Liston Smith, was one of the founding members of The Harmonizing Four, which were one of many pioneering gospel groups during the 1930’s to 1950’s. As a child he was exposed to many of the gospel music greats like The Soul Stirrers featuring vocalist Sam Cooke and The Swan Silvertones. Lonnie’s father bought a piano and taught anyone who wanted to learn. He was bitten by the music bug at an early age and by the time he graduated from high school, Lonnie had become an accomplished pianist as well as trumpet and tuba player.

Upon graduating from Morgan State University in the early 1960’s he moved to New York City where he eventually graduated from school of jazz. Playing and backing the likes of Art Blakey, Roland Kirk, Pharaoh Sanders, Gato Barbieri, Betty Carter, Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln, and Miles Davis.

It was during the early 1970’s that Lonnie was introduced to the Fender Rhodes electric piano. While recording saxophonist Pharaoh Sander’s “Thembi” recording on Impulse Records, that he played the instrument for the first time. In fact, he wrote “Astral Traveling” in the first 10 minutes that he first tinkered with the Rhodes. Sanders loved the song and recorded it that afternoon. It was also during his recording with Pharaoh that he became friends with legendary record producer Bob Thiele, founder of Flying Dutchman Records. Thiele, whose legendary work includes producing the late Buddy Holly and all of John Coltrane’s sessions while at Impulse Records, extended the offer for Lonnie to record his first record.

In 1973 Lonnie formed The Cosmic Echoes and would record music and a sound that was different during the 1970’s. His first band consisted of bassist Cecil McBee, percussionist James Mtume, guitarist Joe Beck, saxophonist George Barron, and drummer David Lee, Jr. Lonnie’s debut recording “Astral Traveling” came out to rave reviews. This was also the same time that Lonnie was touring with trumpeter Miles Davis who had just recorded and released “On The Corner” and “Big Fun.” For almost 14 years The Cosmic Echos recorded fourteen records which included “Expansions,” “Cosmic Funk,” and “Loveland.”

During the mid-1980’s into the mid-1990’s Lonnie recorded many trio jazz recordings as well as paired up with the late rapper Guru for his landmark Jazzmatazz recording. Over the years Lonnie’s music has been sampled and rediscovered by a new legion of R & B and Hip-Hop artists. Some of them include: Young Jeezy, O.C., Jay-Z, Digable Planets, Mary J. Blige, and Nikki Jean.

Today Lonnie is still on the road as part of the “Soulful Nights of Keys” tour featuring Mark Adams and the legendary Brian Jackson. Also, he’s in the studio recording new music. For more information on Lonnie’s upcoming club dates please visit him on the web at www.lonnielistonsmith.net.

Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.

In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.

The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.

They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.

In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.

so many visions still to see

and many travails before I may sleep

but then when I sleep

oh such reveries

- Duncan Sheik, Such Reveries

This week's challenge in Project SoulPancake is to stay up all night. Not even a month ago, this would have been an easy challenge for me. I was routinely staying up all night. Reading, watching tv, playing around online. These days, I rarely stay up past eleven. That's because I have my alarm set for 7am every morning so I can go write. And I have to say, I kind of love my new schedule. Hell, I pulled all-nighters all the time in college and law school. There's a certain magic about seeing the sun come up when you haven't gone to sleep (or is that just the mania caused by sleep deprivation?). Either way, I've been there many times. I'm going to give it a go tonight, but I have a feeling I'm going to earn myself a big fail on this week's challenge. I guess I'll go back and officially check it off next time I accidentally get caught up reading a good book and don't turn in until 6am. It's been known to happen.

Also? I swooped in and picked the songs this week in the Musically Challenged group. All of my picks are straight off of my monster-sized writing playlist. So if you want to listen to a few of the songs that have been helping me get this book written, you should check in and play along. :)
