well you know whack, they say you can't play the blues if you live in hawaii or any part of canada.  permit just a little very mild race humour to say there were a few times  before my nde that a couple a black musicians told me to get out "white boy cant play the blues".
now that ive had the nde there has been a couple a times ive pushed the man off the bench and said "let me show you how to play the blues there my brother".   another somewhat humourous part is that i was always an athiest until i was dieing, like many others.  still am an atheist except for the fact that i have met god so i know he exists.  i met him cause just like every other sorry mf who is on his way out and trying to live i became  a believer real quick and prayed like a mf.  he came to me and i said "well i'll be god damned, what are the odds?"

all those colors at sunrise... those are the really really high notes about eight to ten octaves above middle c.
