Happy Birthday, SRV

Life Without You

... And the guy that's standing on the ground, that needs some help.
You don't walk up and kick him, if you gonna do that
You better wear his shoes for awhile.

Because you know what? Trade places with him and he'll pick you up.
It's the truth.
You better pass around as much love as you can in your lifetime.
It's all we really have to give or accept.
Are you with me?

Mother's Day, 2017

Anita M. Leon, (1940-2011)

People like Stevie Ray Vaughan, SRV, send healing through the universe, (NYT).

This song of SRV marks Mother's Day, 2017. 

As our man, Stevie wrote, "It's a very strong day, today."

Music for my mother:

... the guy that's standing on the ground, that needs some help.
You don't walk up and kick him, if you gonna do that
You better wear his shoes for awhile.
Because you know what?
Trade places with him and he'll pick you up.
It's the truth.

The angels have waited for so long, now they have their way
Take your place

For Jeri-Lynn Betts

This weekend's reports from the field of the eight senate districts reveal we will likely be having recall elections this Summer. It's worth recalling why.

I'll give it a name: The late Watertown teacher, Jeri-Lynn Betts [via Matthew Rothschild in The Progressive Magazine]

To the Betts families, friends, former students and community, here's something that helps and inspires. Peace:

Oh oh now baby, tell me how have you been
We all have missed you, and the way you grin
The day is necessary, every now and then
For souls to move on, givin' life back again, and again
Fly on fly on, fly on my friend
Go on, live again love again

Day after day, night after night
Sittin' here singin' every minute,as the years go passing by, by, by, by
Long look in the mirror, we've come face to face
Wishin' all the love we took for granted,love we have today

Life without you, all the love you passed my way
The angels have waited for so long, now they have their way
Take your place
