"Galveston Giant" or "Black Jack" Jack Johnson was the world heavyweight boxing champion between 1908 and 1915.
In 1912 he was charged with violating the Mann Act, "transporting women across states lines for immoral purposes." The woman was Lucille Cameron who, in fact, would become Johnson's second wife and refused to cooperate with authorities. Less than a month later he was charged for transporting Belle Schreiber across state lines. An alleged prositute, Belle testified against him and he was convicted, despite the fact that the Mann Act has not yet passed. He died in 1946.
There have been several recent calls in Washington D.C. to grant him an official Presidential pardon.
Located in Graceland Cemetery, 4001 N. Clark St.
Note: His actual burial site is at the foot of his wife Etta's grave site, located some distance in front of this memorial stone.
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waitin' on love aint so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool

Match de boxe : Jack Johnson-Franck Mora. Jack Johnson vainqueur aux points 27 juin 1914. Autre vue.
That was his first grandson's pet name was for Dad - 'Big Daddy'..
I put this little slideshow together in case we wanted to show more of his pictures at the viewing, but they ended up just setting out some framed pictures and flags around the casket, which was better. A video would have been more of a distraction than anything at that moment.
The music at the beginning is Jack Johnson's "You know that I would", which speaks about the circle of life, and I thought it was appropriate, and not too sad.
The music at the end is just an instrumental piece by Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass, because it reminds me of a story..
We were living in the house I'm living in now. Dad was doing AC repair, working hard to support his large family. He and Mom saved S&H Green Stamps until they had enough to redeem for his first stereo, which was a cutting edge technology in those days. It was a silver portable turntable with black trim that had black detachable speakers, so you could spread them out, and get the full stereo effect.
We weren't allowed to touch it, of course. But I can remember him having it set up sometimes in his bedroom with the door locked and listening to Herb Albert. Alone, just for a moment of peace in the middle of the chaos that comes from seven people living in one house.
So it might not be normal to include so many pictures not of the person who has passed, but for Dad, his family was his life. So it only seemed natural to me to include his family in this short video reflecting on that life..

Christopher Hawley’s haunts are ski towns, artist communities, beach bars, and college towns. With his much-anticipated third album Comes Around Again (available on iTunes), the open-hearted troubadour offers uplifting vibes and conscious music to an even wider audience. Constant touring in the Western US over the past ten years has established a grass-roots fan base, planting seeds for success.
This Venice, CA-based avid skier, surfer and yogi has mastered the art of raising spirits through music with a combination of inspiring lyrics, positive attitude, and danceable grooves. Rooted in the Colorado jamband scene of the '90s and evolved from the legacy of great singer-songwriters like John Fogerty, Bob Marley, Johnny Cash, and Bob Weir, Christopher has created a unique blend of music. His seasoned guitar style and sense of melody reflect diverse multicultural influences. Lead guitar and slide breaks à la Duane Allman, Ali Farka Touré, Eric Clapton, and Jerry Garcia enliven the well-crafted arrangements.
Over the years, Christopher’s songs have attracted some of the most proficient players to be a part of the collective known as the Rollers. The musicians’ shared sense of adventure genuinely comes across in the music. Comes Around Again contains communal themes of interconnectivity, attachment to Mother Nature, and gratitude all rolled up in roots rock & roll. They are classic American tunes, sung in a strong voice described as “inviting” and “amiable.”
The eleven-song disc of newly recorded studio tracks are bursting with juicy guitar. Bill Payne from Little Feat lays down soulful piano and organ on most songs. John Steward, a regular Roller when not drumming with the band Fishbone, fully embraces the multiple song styles.
The album kicks off with War No More, a rhythmic anti-war groove with afrobeat influences and a biting melodic guitar solo. Lizziebot’s Arm Bands bearing positive messages inspired this song. Lay It On Me, a laid-back acoustic funk tune about communication, culminates in a tight conversational interplay between John’s drums and Christopher’s electric guitar.
The suggestion during a yoga class from instructor Bryan Kest to Meander through the poses resulted in a mellow island/reggae contemplation on “me and her.”
The evocative acoustic piece Home is punctuated by shimmering pedal steel and big drum fills. Christopher sings from the perspective of a eco-conscious surfer with the awareness that we are all interdependent on the ocean no matter where on earth we live.
The guitar part in the chorus of The More of You I Know was inspired by kompa style taught to young Christopher by Haitian musicians. The lyrics, which came to him in a dream at his grandparents’ house in Haiti, speak of traveling to distant places and embracing the unknown.
Johnny Appleseed is an American parable punctuated by Bill Payne’s polyrhythmic piano playing, and Ozzy Oswald’s feel-good pedal steel enhances the swampy gospel groove of When Jesus Fed the Multitude.
Comes Around Again offers good-time music to enjoy life by – filled to the brim with musings of appreciation and traveling tales from a man who sings them with all his heart.

I pictured us at the end of time
Just holding up a camera to our eyes
I took a picture of you took a picture of me
In the background of the picture
Was water running to the sea...

Had this little diddy stuck in my head today. maybe because I felt a little upside down
at work. Still on a bit of a learning curve...
Sometimes I like to just take 5 and play on my own in a corner.......

as happens sometimes,
a moment settled
and hovered
and remained for much more than a moment.
and sound stopped and movement stopped
for much,
much more than a moment.

Jack Johnson » Upside Down
Who's to say
What's impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away
Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and
Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Is this how it's supposed to be
Is this how it's supposed to be

Das Album ist zwar schon seit ende Februar draussen, aber ich dachte mir, man sollte bei dem ruhig mal das Cover gesehen haben! Ich weiss ja nicht wie's euch geht, aber als ich es zum ersten mal gesehen habe, wusste ich instinktiv, dass die nächste Stunde einfach wunderbar gechillt und warmherzig sein wird...
Und das Cover hält was es verspricht! Das Album klingt etwa so entspannnt, wie die Red Hot Chilli Peppers vielleicht gerne sein würden. Ok, als Hawaiianer und Ex-Surfmeister muss Jack Johnson das ja im Blut haben. Die Musik kommt zwar im unplugged feeling und Akustik Gitarren lastig rüber, was aber nicht heisst, dass man dazu nicht tanzen könnte. In "Staple It Together" shuffeln die Beats und der Bass, dass es nur so kracht. Überwiegend sind's natürlich schon ruhige Lieder wie "No Other Way", die sich quasi immer irgendwie um Liebe drehen. Das schöne ist dabei, dass die Texte nie sehr direkt und klar sind - man kann sie oft total unterschiedlich auslegen.
Bei diesen Temperaturen passt das Album einfach... Wenn man z.B. im Schatten liegt und sich eigentlich nichts sehnlicher als eine riesen Welle zur abkühlung wünscht...
Hört ruhig mal rein und berichtet mir. Vielleicht seit ihr ja genauso überrascht wie ich, dass Singer/Songwriter Gitarren Musik richtig Laune machen kann.
Ich werde hier jetzt öfter Musik vorstellen. Dann kriegt ihr weniger hyper-euphorische ICQ messages, wenn ich mal wieder was ausgegraben hab... ;-) Aber keine Sorge, zu Musik-zentirsch wird das Blog kaum werden - ich muss ja erstmal die Alben haben (und ned bloss files), um sie fotografieren zu könnnen. :)
