This Poor Little Room
if they wanted me to feel sad--"mission accomplished"
i'm gonna recall some of the deleted conversations
so i'll feel better--
thanks to sid for reminding me of blossom dearie. it was so wonderful to rekindle that musical love once again.
like being with a musician, singer----and no time had passed because the love of --- remained---in tact. grateful to be reminded.
i remember that 7p, who is a fine singer with a strong timber to his voice, as well as an original writer and amazing musician, was "lookin for loopholes" ---- he was doing a good job finding great singers who also "smoked"----and true--- there are a lot of them
i think i replied to him that stressing about it was really worse and that he'd quit when he made his mind up to do that---somthin' like that---
i am kinda miffed that my work on aerobic breathing is---gone!!
i'm remembering that i was working on a film score for a documentary film to make enough bucks to support myself and a relative----
i was so dingy from lack of sleep that i decribed a blues song that i had written(bassment blues) about a woman who falls in love with a bassist who practices in the basement---that she has never met---
anyway---
i managed to describe the basement as being on the third floor---- and someone told me i had done that----
embarassing, indeed, and i knew i had to shut down the muse-----and not pressure myself so much
i had a rough year in 2005---but a great career now
i learned a lot.
i learned that the key to any good relationship in music, business or personal---is "recriprocity"
i also learned not to ever ask for it--- because if you have to ---it ain't there!!!
i'm not mad at whoever wanted to erase these memories. i hope they felt better---so-- at least one of us was happier
i'm flying back to la----tomorrow---been way too spoiled--been to way too many cocktail parties and been workin' way too much
i'll go to the condo for a few days---but i can't wait to get back to my simple little house with my two black cats(shadow and solo)
cuddle with †hem and a sweet guy who will tell me sweet stories---no hassles---and jam and sing together---
i'm too lucky a lady to deserve too much whining--- but i think having the text deleted is at least worth a pout!!!
i'll be back,although clear someone would rather i dissappeared--
not to worry, i'll just stay in this room --
'll have something inspiring for you nextime, for you and me
for the singer/musician--you will like it----i promise!
this may get deleted--
or--- maybe---- noone--- will ever read this..
writer's will always write---even if that's true---at least this one----will!!
