Nichts anderes kann über JJ Cale und Eric Clapton gesagt werden, wobei ihre Partnerschaft eine mit großen Pausen war. Alles begann, als Eric Clapton JJ Cales Cocaine im Jahr 1977 als Cover für sein Soloalbum Slowhand aufnahm und dem Song schlagartig zu Weltruhm verhalf. Der große Gitarrist JJ Cale scheute das Rampenlicht und hatte dabei zweifellos Celebrity-Status bei vielen gleichsam einflussreichen Musikern wie Mark Knopfler, Neil Young oder eben Clapton. Dem Oklahoma-Native schien es gut in den Kram zu passen, dass andere wie Johnny Cash, John Mayer oder Captain Beefheart seine Songs sangen und spielten, am liebsten war er im Studio oder schrieb Songs. Im Jahr 1977 also nahm Clapton Cocaine auf, einer seiner berühmtesten Songs, und kaum jemand wusste, wer eigentlich dieser JJ Cale war. Nun, es war ein Ausnahmegitarrist und Komponist und der Erfinder des Tulsa Sounds, einer relaxten Mischung aus Blues, Rockabilly, Country und Jazz.

Vintage photos bring out the best in me, personally. Thanks for those/them thar.
Photographic Questions?
What happens after the f'n stop?
Is there some further adjustment?
Does it all change from color to black and white?
Or is it truly a dark room of infinite night (as they said in Rome)?
I'm just curious, really:
I was sleeping and then awakened to pee
(satisfying, lemme say!)
and these stray-dog questions popped through my brain's fence,
manner of speaking.
Ansel's books don't address this issue,
nor do the slick mags.
As a poet-on-the-side, how does this make me feel?
I don't know yet.
I'll have to write a poem, looks like.
I had awakened from a very sweet dream
(one of those "blue dreams")
and began writing this, so there's that.
I don't feel resentful, as the soundness
of my slumber was cannabis-infused, so to speak.
I think I'll just have one more bite
and see what develops.
One final question:
What would Charles Lamb do?
I'll keep you posted;
if questions get answered,
you'll be among the first to know.

The conversion of thoughts to images or words is a basic human trait;
although birdsong is very sweet and calls to mind beautiful imagery,
it is music and not poetry nor true "art."
Your opinion may vary and that's otay.
Another All-Saints has passed and he's still sanctified. My recall petition to the Pope has apparently gone unread, likely been burned in a
ceremony in the bathroom/sacristy of the Vatican Library.
Digital, for Chrissakes!
I realize that my quest to de-sanctify him is likely nothing more than a "wild goose chase." It may be that the "game is up."

A couple of replays of Josephine later...well, into take two, anyway.
Shakespeare invented many hundreds of common English phrases.
Bravo, maestro, bravo!
Why is there not a special day honoring this significant achievement, this "yeoman's service?"
We hear and see these everyday phrases so often that they are simply taken for granted.
"The ruins of time build mansions in eternity."--William Blake
http://www.pathguy.com/shakeswo.html
One verbal gem is that his use of "to friend" is now being used on social media.
One phrase Shakey did not invent: "My bad."

Of course, Shakey would have totally embraced emojis.

Tony Robert Gordon
The first band I toured and recorded with was ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. I joined them in 1973 and left in 1978. They were a great band and are still around. We played primarily western swing and country music, but tried all kinds of styles.
I think I was recommended by Bruce Springsteen's bass player Gary Tallent. I didn't know Gary at the time but I guess he knew about AATW. I met him later on after I started playing with Robert; he's quite a musicologist. Anyway, Robert really wanted an upright bassist and there weren't many around who would or even could play with a fairly loud band. I wasn't a true rockabilly player but I could play the slap bass style; I had learned that playing bluegrass music. I had done a couple of gigs with Ray Campi in Austin (through drummer Mike Buck of The Fabulous Thunderbirds). I knew a little bit about rockabilly from AATW also.
WEll, and Bob of course
(duluth around 1998)
Have not seen a Ubangi in San Francisco since 1967. Been going down hill ever since?

good evening, neebee.
thank you

some of the music is very fun "swing stuff"

You "Rose to the Occasion" once more...
The socks are much appreciated, as are the puzzles, cartoons, and prayers you send my way now and again.
I was going to send this thank you card in the mail, but had no stamps and I couldn't get to anyplace to get them (the local postal box store is now vacant, I found) till today and when I did, I said, "Hey, this is fifty cents. Try the Flames instead."
So here, I'll share it with all o' ya.
The message more or less said this:
I have only had socks knit for me three times, once by my GF in HS, Liz. Her mom was the person who ran the knitting section at Gottschalk's Dept. Store in the sixties and seventies. She was just a little unsure of what she was doing, but she got them finished in time for a birthday present.
Then you sent me that last pair of handmade socks and then this latest pair as well. And done in record time, I must say!

It's been a long day. Went and spent it mostly downtown.
Haven't done that since before I went back into the hospital the beginning of last month.
I followed my instincts and didn't bike but got a ride with Vern, who has Starbuck's chai latte with 5 pumps of chai and 5 of vanilla (YUCK!) most days anyway so I got him one and a fruit platter with cheese for Dawn who had to go today to be with her daughter-in-law who's having labor induction today.
I was happy to walk down the street, amble-shamble-ramble but no scramble, just am not up for that no mas. Nice day, talked to a couple of barbers and a bona fide Trumpie outside Tino's Barber Shop and Bullshit Parlor.
I found myself sitting in front of the multiplex on a bench for about an hour, had gone into the bookstore for a time and a good talk with Alyssa Booklady, and finally buying that book Dancing In the Streets. She wondered about Sprockets when I metioned Mike "Dieter" Myers. She found it on her laptop and we watched the skit.
I wound up down at Maria's Enchiladas after wandering into Coffee Bandits to see their latest hangings by local artists.
It's under new management since I was last in and it's still pleasant and a bit cleaner with the new paint. The old decor was all Merced memorabilia, gone now with the old boss.
The albondigas soup was real tasty. I left and went to the Public House, talked to Matt about the newly-opened Partisan Bar, grand opening Saturday night. I had half a beer and split, catching a bus back to the house, but first stopping at the porch on the old G Grade Grocery/Harry Heil's at the corner and watching traffic flow by.
