You Can Hold On

there are those moments...when you close your eyes...and imagine how things should be...and then when re-opened things are exactly as you had imagined...exactly how they should be....i am right there in my life right now...

here is the latest song...directors cut ...though the meaning of this song may not correlate exactly with the sentiment above...the song is a dedication...and for whom ...well, they will know who they are and to simply hold on...

You Can Hold On

and for hope, aint there none
cant make do, what you've undone
you could go-but wont you stay
cant take -what you aint gave

cant sleep in this bed thats been made
so wont you plead, wont you beg
cant go back and take away
all this pain-all this shame

you can hold on

aint there days when the rain
seems like it could wash you all clean
and you just fall to your knees
no you cant break free

you can hold on

cant find the right words
cant find 'em

you are my sunshine....maggie elise

well ..okay so I was having one of those days...ya know...i was actually looking forward to my Fish Fry tonight (yeah I kinda get into to it) I told you its my outlet...anyway..i even pulled out the fancy electric...and had Frankie helpin me pull down the big PA speakers and mics and mic stands...oh man...i put my girl down for bed and then decided to plug in...and turn up the juice...full volume...poor miss mags...i guess she is getting used to it ...she didnt even wake up...well anyway.....I was planning on doing a pretty cool song...one that you hadn't heard of coarse ...it was an orginal...but.....
well ...it sucked...the guitar playing totally sucked...see Im not a very good guitar player (Im sure you have noticed)...but i try ...i really do....well short story long...cause thats how I usaully tell it...i had to give up on showing you my cool song ...anyway...it became a principal thing ..that I at least sing something...because usually I would say ...skrew it ...but not tonight ...there is gonna be a fish fry...because i said there would be! so heres to one of Maggies favorites (or so I like to think) YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE....ahh what a classic...i will be more prepared next week ....

FRIDAY NIGHT FISH FRY REVIVAL...Bright Eyed Blues

back by popular demand???? uh nope...but I had an itch to scratch....now for those of you that aren't familiar with this format...I frequently and then un-frenquently post what has come to be known as the "Friday Night Fish Fry"...I would call it a sparatic surge of "gotta get ..get"... just needed to sing a bit.. just needed an audience...I am a performer...I actually need this outlet in order to survive...

so as you will hear ...if you listen to my presentation of "Bright Eyed Blues"...there is another voice in the background...it may to the untrained ear seem like a harmony or a neat little"effect"...but I just wanted to clarify....to those underground musicians that happen upon this at 4am...it is not a out of tune string...or an off-beat drum...that is actually the sound of my daughter yelling for me...in the background...now I just remind you she is only 10 months old..so Im sure these are impassioned yells...that I interpret as "mommy sing louder"so instead of me 're-recording'..I ask that you close you eyes and pretend that you are watching this live..and that you are just hearing a crazy, excited fan....hope you enjoy and this one's for you Finn!
