2022-05-05 13:39:13 This morning I meditated, yoga’d and swam down at the beach.

Set up a little time lapse action before I meditated.

The sun looks like it is pulsing.

Probably is.

Beautiful. Open / Comment

After Convid I know I do.

Thanks Convid. Open / Comment

2022-04-21 14:36:45 I worshipped false idols. I did. I put certain musicians on pedestals for too long.

But no more.

Any musician who played segregated shows over the last two years sent a loud and clear message.

A message some of us will not forget.

Though many seem to have already forgotten.

That’s as it should be I guess.

But not for me. I choose to remember the new world that opened up to me. A world where what you do says more about you than what you say.

2022-04-20 00:59:35 Are You Gonna Be Free was originally called The Human Farm Blues.

It was inspired by the courageous response of some people who refused to go along with the corporate government mandates seeking to control every aspect of our lives across the planet.

So is fear really.

2022-04-08 01:24:49 From my latest single, The Sun Comes Out.

Full lyrics below.

If you hear this song
You know it’s not all wrong
You’re gonna find a way
To get through this day

And come the night
You’re gonna be alright
Nothing bad can last
This too shall pass

When the storm blows over
You’ll be one day older
Then the sun comes out
Then the sun comes out

If you close your eyes
There’s a world inside
You can go to sleep
Or you can dare to dream

With every breath
You make your own bed
So fall in a heap
Or rise to your feet

And when you find your heart
And the clouds all part
Then the sun comes out
Then the sun comes out

If you hear the sound
Of the earth and sea
You’ll always be found
Never lose a thing

For we all return
To where we come from
As we all emerge
From the same one

And when the rain goes south
And you feel the ground
Then the sun comes out
Then the sun comes out Open / Comment
