I Am Someone To Love

    I am the writer
    But I am but alone
    When I’m on this microphone
    I hear singing from the catacombs

    Someday you’ll come to find me
    Look for me and I’ll be gone
    Don’t look no further on
    I’m right here in the song

    If this music makes you feel like I feel
    That’s what is real
    That’s all that’s real

    I am (sing it with me)
    I am someone to love
    (Sing it) I am someone to love

    Keep on knocking
    But you can’t come in
    Don’t tell my Mama
    What kind of shape I’m in

    Take it on the chin
    Every now and again
    Dust myself off
    And check back in

    I know I got problems
    Some of y’all got problems too
    I know it’s true

    This life is beautiful
    Ain’t nothin anyone could do
    To take that away from you

    I am
    I am someone to love
    I am someone to love

Guadalupe Park Playground

20150725_110535~2

We used the Guadalupe Park playground across from the Shark Tank.  It was a Saturday morning. John John had fun on the slide.

There were a lot of homeless people around, sleeping on the grass, or messing around in the bathrooms.  I knew there would be homeless folks there because I went to the discovery park drum circle near there back in the nineties, and there were many then.

There were two other families.  It’s too bad it is underutilized because it is a nice playground with plenty of shade.  The playground for toddlers was almost totally unused for play, with many people set up there, sleeping or sitting on benches. Because no one uses it for the intended purpose, it isn’t a great place to play.

I chose all jazz this week. I played something from every jazz record in the currents and also some from the jazz library. It was inspired by my friend Weasel Walter’s FB status: “do musicians who play like their asses are on fire a service and don’t wait until they die to ‘like’ them. they walk among us.”

Hour 1: Starts at 1:53 so you get a few minutes of Mouthbreather. Funny enough, he played the same song that Muad’dib played for his final number, the same lead-in as my last show. It’s a really annoying song.  What are they trying to tell me?  It’s all jazz, most of it was far out but I played some straighter stuff too.

Hour 2: Ellery Eskelin, Entourage Music Ensemble, Don Cherry, Kamasi Washington.

Hour 3: Alice Coltrane, Jacques Coursil Unit, William Hooker begins.

Hour 4: William Hooker ends, Phil Yost, Han-Earl Park.

This was my first four hour show. Happy 4th of July. It was hot in the studio. We opened up the station to let the outside air come in. Sat Iva was in the booth for the show and we played a lot of different music. It flowed on by and the vibe was great.

Hour 1: Starts at 1:53 so you get a few minutes of Goodwrench.
