This moment...

Robert Cray 9/18/87 - Smoking Gun

 

damn Mags... had to go load one of his up after reading this.

Coffee for my breakfast
Shot of whiskey on the side...

hadn't listened to him for quite some time.

 

Stanley Clarke - School Days

 

coast to coast

(pushy preachy)
last stop for a resolution
end of the line, is it confusion?
so go. go see whats there for you
nothing new, nothing new for you to use
i've got no new act to amuse you
i've got no desire to use you, you know
but anything that i could do
would never be good enough for you
if you can't help it then just leave it alone (leave it alone)
leave it alone, yeah, just forget it
it's really easy
i believe i'll forget it too
still you're keepin' me around
til i finally drag us both down
pulling feathers out your hat
yes i believe that's where it's at
you belong tagging along
and i belong in your zoo
so i wait for confirmation
that you're never gonna use your starting gun
unless its me
it sounds like being him just wasn't that much fun
anything that i could do
would never be good enough for you
if you can't help it then just leave it alone (leave it alone)
leave me alone, yeah, just forget it
it's really easy
i'll just forget it too
coast to coast, coast to coast
i'll do what i can so you can be what you do
coast to coast, coast to coast
i'll do everything i can so you can be what you do
coast to coast, coast to coast
circuit rider comes every fifth sunday
oh my lord, i fell asleep one day
anything that i could do
is there anything that i could do
that someone doesn't do for you
that someone didn't do for you
that i have already done for you

 

king's crossing

the king's crossing is the main attraction
dominoes are falling in a chain reaction
the scraping subject ruled by fear told me
whiskey works better than beer
the judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
and nobody gets a reprieve
and every wave is tidal - if you hang around
you're going to get wet
i can't prepare for death any more than i already have
all you can do now is watch the shells
the game looks easy that's why it sells
frustrated fireworks inside your head
are going to stand and deliver talk instead
the method acting that pays my bills
keeps a fat man feeding in beverly hills
i got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity
and i get my check from the trash treasury
because i took my own insides out
it don't matter cos i have no sex life
all i want to do now is inject my ex wife
i've seen the movie and i know what happens
it's christmas time
and the needles on the tree
a skinny santa is bringing something to me
his voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurred
and i only understand every other word
open your parachute and grab your gun
falling down like an omen, a setting sun
read the part and we turn out fine
it's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
but i don't care if i fuck up
i'm going on a date with a rich white lady
ain't life great?
give me one good reason not to do it
(because i love you)
so do it
this is the place where time reverses
dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
instruments shine on a silver tray
don't let me get carried away
don't let me get carried away
don't let me be carried away

 

It's a hell of a show - first (and only) time I saw him was as the final opener for BB in 97. Bad ass. That was a hell of a show for $10 - Tower of Power, Jay Geils' blues band, Cray, BB.

Porgy & Bess (cd) Joe Henderson

 

Bela Fleck 2/21/03 - Sherpa

Hey JRC, you catch much Jeff Coffin?

 

Never heard of'im. What's he do?

[I'm on a Joe Henderson kick right now. His soloing is incredible on the Porgy & Bess; w/Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, John Scofield, Tommy Flanagan. Sting makes an appearance, doesn't sound half-bad. Chaka Khan does too, kinda sucks, lots of "style" and little substance.]

 

I'm going through a retro buzz at the moment, and loving Pet Shop Boys `Best of' album. Their version of `Always on my mind' and `Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes off You)' is just awesome .
