All good. great music irregardless place of origin! Special nod to the Blues genre and divine order of the universe as we know it! Special thanks to my late father for introducing me to daily doses of the Blues through BB, Albert King, Albert Collins, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James and all the greatest "soul" singers while growing up. Also, thanks to him for experiencing the country way of life through his parents, my grandparents. All that crabbing, hunting, playing in cornfields, catching turtles/snakes/etc and traveling with him while he was in the Army (me too!!). So many will never know the sights and sounds of the country way's of living. Mosquitoes, hard work and lots of laughter and family friends. The late William Hart Sr. of East Orange NJ, was it's first Black Mayor and my Uncle. What a person, as were each of his late children, my cousins (all died early)! The Delphonics sang at his Inaugural Ball. .I remember those days before the Bloods and Crips, they are everywhere now. Also, all those great jazz musicians I met in places in Korea , Germany, Ft .Bragg N.C..(I played a 2 month gig there after Army duties with Clarence Palmer in Fayettville N.C(GB's organist), I've played at times with most of GB's organists' at one time or another. Thanks to jazz great Lou Donaldson, for giving me a shot. As well as the late Ketr Betts and Gary Bartz. Very special thanks to all the greatest seeker's of various truths, unknown and known by the masses.

The Symphony of Life~A new day begins to function in harmony Smoothly guiding the melody of events that reaches its crescendo! Leaving a palette of effervescent colors as residue. Have a Lovely rest of the week! XX~
A new day begins with the rising of the sun, As its bright rays shine forth In vibrant bursts of light And illuminate over the world.
As the world begins to wake, Everything begins to function in harmony, With a steady rhythm and even pitch Smoothly guiding the melody of events That makes a symphony of life.
As the day progresses, This symphony takes on new dimensions and tones, And is thereby infused with new meaning.
At some point the tune reaches its crescendo, Playing loudly and vivaciously for all to take part In the melodious song.
The day ends with the setting of the sun, As it sinks in to the horizon, Leaving a palette of effervescent colors as residue.
All the while the melody begins to die down, Sinking its tone to a quiet stillness which Ultimately leads way to the song of the very next day.
