Revolution of The Resolution : Let Our Spirits Soar

Vintage French 78's

No I don't speak french. This mix was inspired from the movie Midnight In Paris. With this new year upon us I want to let my spirits soar. Everyone knows the Devil is afraid of music. So I will always have music playing in my house. With a song in my heart. Listening to the old 78's takes me away to another time and place. Listen and you can meet me in Paris in the rain. Enjoy!

Long About The Break of Day- Painting a Scene with Songs

This blues tale takes place between the small hours of 3am & 6am. When I used to work in the bar and getting off every night 2 am I used to be getting good and drunk in the wee midnight hours.

Soul Searcher- I Want To Be More Like Jesus

With an open mind I am going to church this sunday. I think I can put aside my beliefs for a christmas mass and do something kind with my poor mother. This mix was made for after the church service. Thanking Nancy for bringing In Tall Buildings to mind again. The undying spirit of Jimi Hendrix is with me. Enjoy!

Angel

By: Jimi Hendrix

Angel come down from heaven yesterday,
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she tell me a story yesterday,
About the Love between the Moon & the deep blue sea.
And when it was time for her to go,
She spread her wings high over me,
And she said, "I shall return tomorrow."

And I said, "Fly on my sweet Angel,
Fly on through the sky,
Fly on my sweet Angel,
Tomorrow I'll look for you by my side."

And sure enough this morning comes to me,
While silver wings silhouette against the glow of the child's sunrise.
And as the blue birds and the sparrows envy me,
She says, "I Love you little boy and today you shall fly."
She kissed me once,
And the feeling so good she made me cry.
And now we can fly together...

And I said, "Fly on my sweet Angel,
Fly on through the sky,
Fly on my sweet angel,
Together we shall always be high."

Understanding Identity

it's nothing to give out freely
preserve oneself for understanding
with this understanding look for an openness
follow your independent existence
without fear of standing alone
alone may not be loneliness
others will appreciate the oneness
the individuality & existence as a distinct
makes for good quality of character
all it takes is knowing who you are
search & gather oneself
self awareness
consciousness
knowledge
as in waking life
awareness of something for what it is
identify & recognize
the things that belong to you
the things you belong to
find time for oneself
through one's own efforts
you will be rewarded with dignity
self-respect
worthiness
elevation of character
without a weakness
self love will make you strong
when I go to watch the people
my heart longs for respect
suffering & in need for respect
the reflection of how I am respected
is how I see myself
without respect there is no love
I still enjoy myself
I have to find love in my heart
for oneself
acquainted with oneself
belonging to oneself
having an identity over time
takes acceptance of oneself
approval of oneself
and forgiveness of oneself
but, today, I am being born
oneself can be like nothing else

Temporary Hobo Bard- Dedicated To Jessie Lynn,Best of Hobo Tales

I wrote Temporary Hobo Bard to express my love for the hobos,squatter crusty punks & bums I used to drink with when I lived in the city. My love for folk music was shared with these young folks coming in from the train yards from all over. Writing was not that important back then. Temporary Hobo Bard was my first poem written in my modern existence. It has a special place in my little heart. Now days I wish I could write something as fresh. My writing is changing but,so is everything.

As for this mix I dedicated it to my trusty mix-making partner Rust Belt Jessie. She is a mom now. I don't want to bother her with my wants to continue our Hobo Tales. I took all the Hobo Tales and picked all my favorites so this was made without her. She has made me a happy mix maker. Even before I met her I've been making Hobo Tales for years. Jessie never let me down with any of her picks. I am a lonely man. The kindness she has showed me is very valuable. I will always look back on these times and Hobo Tales with fond memories. Enjoy!

Temporary Hobo Bard

She hung her pretty head and cried
Just because I can hopped a old freight train
Popped the can, churched keyed the back and
opened it up wide.
Brand new Carhartt overalls,patches in my memories
Work clothes but, work I can't abide
It's the first of may on this hazy winter's day
Go far far way...disappeared...

Especially,to all of y'all
Determining mentally upon some action...
Out shakin' hands looking for a place to lay
Drinkin' and stinkin'
All good times I crave
Hand me down my banjo one more time
Way down on old chestnut street
...Jägermeister...
Stagger and stepped, lost my way
Who Threw The Whiskey In The Well
by: Lucky Millinder And His Orchestra
played in the background
She drank and her nose was red as a rose...
Like one of the ghost in Ironweed
Street walkers trot &mingle like company suppose to do
...shuckin' & jivin'...
Playin' for nickels & dimes,it's a hard road.
Playin' by ear beneath the piano
It's better to have a bottle in front of me...
Another hand out,it's effective for a time only
