I just like the attitude of this song. A quick look at some of the personalities and traits I run into a lot. It is easy to make a mess and say the world is against you and life is so unfair.
Tune up your guitars so they are ready when you are. If someone asks me if I’m ready to play, I will always be able to say, ‘yes’. (But I’m really more of an engineer than a player!)

What book are you reading right now?
The book I just started reading is Facing the Dark Corner by fellow blogger Bogdan Dragos. I can’t wait to get started!

Inspired by The Who concert in Cincinnati, Ohio where eleven people were crushed to death in a stampede to get inside for ‘theater seating’ once the doors had opened. I wanted to go but did not have that kind of money back then. I am sure some people tried to stop and help. Some may have died trying. Either way, the promoters got their money, so they don’t mind.

I remember being proud after writing this poem-song with my brother (Charles) David. It is an autobiography of sorts from a twenty-something writer!
Often I would sit in the dark while others slept and played my Ovation 12 string guitar. I would play for a while until the guitar listened to the evening. Then the guitar would play me. Many nights what I played was the only thing accompanying me. I still love this song if you get a chance to listen to it.

Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?
I don’t know, I can’t think back that far.

What’s something you believe everyone should know.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but there is no God.

Most of humanity has great potential but our leaders seem to be locked in a constant conquest or battle. I just wish we had descended from bonobos instead of chimps. Maybe it is the matriarchal society that makes such a huge difference. I’d be willing to give it a try.

What food would you say is your specialty?
I would have to say my french fries are to die for. I had to go make some after reading this post.

Geo-political conflict. Armies on each side squeeze civilians in the middle. Sometimes the disputes are millennia old and never changing. Other places happiness is shattered overnight.
There is always someone pounding the war drum. Louder and louder.
Until the pounding is here.
