A soundtrack through many a somber or solemn moment in time. Will be in the future, as it has been throughout the past.

Jackson Browne & Gregg Allman, Live

'These Days'

I left Lower Michigan under 'duress' in 1976, facing an impending show-down and likely implosion with Johnny Law over (mostly) drug offenses, as this tune played through the night at a small, heart-felt going away gathering.

I sang this tune as I hitched the country and Canada, the Alcan, and more over the years..

Driving down the Alcan with a couple young fellows from Palmer, Alaska, with a chocolate cake their mom had made for their trip, headed out of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory Canada, down the Alcan, @ -53 f. in 1977, 3 days before Christmas, in a 1958 Ford school bus named Maybelline.

I played this tune through divorce and deaths of family.

When I apologized for wrong-doings, quietly in my own mind.

A soundtrack for a review of life.

'Give Yourself to Love'

My 1-Gb transfer speed goes away in a day or 2, so y'all may be spared beyond that point, if the newer 75 MB speed fails to allow streaming. It was fun while it lasted; for me, anyway.

What a journey through heart-felt expressions of life in a universal language, from yesterday and today. I was pleased to no end to find some of the gems I found that I had no pervious awareness of, and some that were old touch-stones that held many memories. Wow... Music penetrates nearly every existence in life, and brings something with it, often positive. Thank the Cosmos for such a retreat.

I've been out of rep most of the day, but your humor video sent me into Robin Williams and Bill hicks while we made deluxe home-made pizzas (x3) this afternoon, Gypsy.

My first Norwegian Elkhound gave birth to ONE registered litter in the mid-west, before she would, a year or so later, travel with me by thumb and elsewise throughout much of N. America.

The night she had her one registered litter of pups, this album played all night on 8-track, in a perpetual loop, for close to 8 hours. The title cut from her album.

Lots of diamonds and rust from back then.

Well......

As is more and more common in dealing with modern corporations, where the left hand has no clue what the right hand is doing, I've now gotten 3 different answers to the same question that was asked a total of 4 times.

According to the last inquiry, I have until the end of November until my 1-GB transfer speed goes away. They said that if they're incorrect, and I get a whopper of a bill, they'll fix it. So I should know more in a day or three.

That said, apologies for my (maybe) premature notice of departure from this thread, which I've seemingly commandeered.

All that aside, seemed like a good day for an anthem of sorts, to free-thinking folks and the hope of casting off 'mental slavery'.

(Bob Marley's) 'Redemption Song' (performed in what I perceive as a truly heart-felt manner, with footage of Bob incorporated, and one or more of his family, too.
