"So as soon as I could I lost myself in the immense world of books and tried to blot out the real world which was so puzzling to me. Even then I had a vague, persistent feeling that I'd always be lost in it, defeated."

Getting ready for the stinky audition at the fair. Why do I want to play songs so fast? I need inspiration to play songfully a la Chopin.
And upgrading this here Takamine might be real nice. Never sure if I'm sounding my optimal best.
Oh well, the life of a gypsy continues.....
The position as "migrant, marginal, homeless, never 'quite of the fold' makes it possible to write songs which go to the heart of prejudices, exclusions and paranoia of the times."
"...those who belong nowhere, between cultures, between histories, describes an existence which is now commonplace - a threat to those who like literature and life to be neatly compartmentalized."

I've got this site (DM), myspace, facebook, zed, cdbaby, soundclick, and I think there's yahoo groups, and maybe some other sites that I've got my music and blogs on but it's so hard to go to all of them and be consistent and have continuity so it feels like a real confusion in getting my act out there.
Just want to say welcome to all those who want to be my friend. If you've listened to my songs I hope you enjoy.
Some major life shattering events have been happening this past year to make me re-examine what the heck I'm doing on this earth. Everything I believed in went topsy turvy so I'm overwhelmed with getting a balance. Please be patient. It's difficult to explain.
carry on...

"It was a sort of meeting of the minds, and gratifying, but the gratification was somehow lacking. What did it lack?...
I wonder what the meeting of my body with his could be like...to the extent that man worships his masculinity....only the victory of love over the male deity can rid woman of her repulsion by man.
No power on earth can rid woman of her repulsion other than the victory of love over the male deity. Then history will go back six thousand years to when the deity was female.Will love be victorious?
Can love be proved? ...I put my head on my pillow, my eyes open, filled with tears. In the morning I look in the mirror at my shining eyes washed with tears...."

"...oh that magic feeling nowhere to go
One sweet dream
pick up the bags and get in the limousine
soon we'll be away from here
step on the gas and wipe that tear away
one sweet dream came true today, came true today
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
all good children go to heaven"

SOS. A mean man just broke my heart.
"..I want to tell you,
my head is filled with things to say,
when you're here,
all those words they seem to slip away,
When I get near you,
the games begin to drag me down,
it's alright, I'll make you maybe next time around.
I feel hung up and I don't know why,
But if I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind, that is confusing things.
sometimes I wish I knew you well,
then I could speak my mind and tell you maybe you'd understand.."

The end
Oh yeah alright, are you gonna be in my dreams tonight. And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make. Ah--
