If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?
T-shirt and jeans. I’ve been doing this for decades, but nobody’s forcing me.

This looks like a challenge in rhyme schemes! Short descriptions and observations from day to day. A good look at where I used to be. It is the silence that destroys. This might become a song this year. I like a number of the topics and the meter helps keep the lyrics moving smoothly.

This was a collaboration project. A fellow musician wanted lyrics for a slow piano ballad piece he was working on. So I wrote a love story from a mid-life perspective. Simple themes: Heart, wife, children and home. I don’t want to go to sleep if you will not be there when I wake.

I am a step-father, as well as having my own biological units to claim. My father left when I was young. My step daughter had a similar experience, as do millions of children. I tried to sum up those feelings for all of us.

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
I really like a hot shower!
Move the Spiral Forward MSK 2016

As a younger person I compared the ideas of being stuck in a loop or spinning in a spiral. We see repeated patterns as we age. Thoughts of giving up are dangerous if you think nothing changes and you aren’t getting anywhere. But we are always moving, and the more we steer ourselves, the more effect it has on where we end up. Each turn of the spiral is another chance.
