I am sorting it all out. And this blog is sort of an ad-lib from what I wrote yesterday. My careening health-curve, heading gradually south, keeps me reminded of impermanence. I always joke to myself that impermanence is the smelling-salts of the dharma. Age is such an efficient reminder. In fact, impermanence can be so strong that it pries my little fingers from any attachments and inserts me once again in what I jokingly call “free-fall,” as in: I’m in free-fall through space as time expands as it runs out. LOL. In essence, I don’t have enough time to re-attach before one health crisis or another takes precedence over entertainment. A rolling stone gathers no moss, and god knows I have been on a roll for several years with health issues. I keep imagining that things will level off enough that I can project a level plane as a future, but, you know, that never seems to happen, at least not lately. Every time I set up my house of cards, it gets collapsed or blown away by the winds of change and I continue to roll on downhill toward the rabbit hole. These health conditions are one way to remove attachments, but not what I had imagined. LOL. Only a fool would assume that we can set up shop on the Titanic and expect a normal life again. Every which way that I turn points to finishing up whatever I can and not to hazard an investment in a steady- state of affairs. That option is no longer supported. LOL. It’s like, after a certain age, we are on a sinking ship that is slowly filling with water. All of my time is spent bailing out the water and I have less and less time to plan anything that resembles a future or anything permanent. The future runs out of its present. All of this is just common sense and not rocket science. It’s the essence of conservatism to attempt to hang on to the present so that it does not fade away. So much of the 8 beautiful is lost like sand through our fingers. Reality just cannot support our former lifestyle. We age. LOL. I keep coming around and back to the thought that we are happy when we remember the foolishness of being sad. And, increasingly, I find that what with a little wit will wear and last, is lost later letting fast. And like a rollercoaster, we are funneled toward eternity. As for me, the best I can do is add my aye, say my yeah, and confess my yes. 9 WHAT’S THE POINT? July 5, 2019 [Since I seem to be in flux (and the weekend is a holiday), let’s just muse a bit. The fireworks kept me up half the night and its 89-degrees out this minute, so kick back and we can have a talk.] At my age, the point of anything needs to be questioned? It’s just so hard to get my attention when I’m playing in the sandbox. LOL. However, health issues take no prisoners; they just say “No” to my blithely journeying on and on as if I am going to live forever. “Wake up! Wake up, friend Owl.” There is a point in life where there is little point in endlessly starting new projects. Rather, it’s time to put away my toys and spend a little time getting ready to transition out of here. LOL. A good sign of this is when we find ourselves ratcheting rapidly downward rather than the reverse. There is a message there. For me, the message is the following song, “Sweet Days,” as written and sung by my daughter May Erlewine. This is exactly how I feel most of the time. Join me in giving it a listen please. MAY ERLEWINE: “SWEET DAYS” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_z0Nxyu2Gk “Nero fiddled while Rome burned” comes to mind. I have my hobbies, mostly just photography; and “Whistling in the dark” is my specialty. But really, there comes a time for each of us to just take a pause and look around. I

  • Little Joe Blue
    Little Joe Blue by Opal Louis Nations The clincher that puts Little Joe Blue a notch above most B.B. King imitators is the fact that he took the former’s mannerisms and affectations and added a few twists of his own. This made him an extremely emotive original, aside from the fact that he possessed the skills to write uniquely infectious lyrics like the anguished “Dirty work going on” (Movin 1966), the urgent “Standing on the threshold” (Jewel 1968) and the poetic “Give me an hour in your garden” (Miles Ahead 1974). He was born Joseph Valery Jnr. in Vicksburg, Miss. on September 23, 1934 to Abraham Fields and Willie Hodges. He was raised across the Mississippi River in Tallulah, La. through the 1940s then moved to Detroit. As a youngster in Tallulah, Joseph came to be called “Little Joe Blue” because he constantly played Eugene Field’s traditional “Little boy blue” on his harmonica. His first encounters with the blues were in Vicksburg at the Green Lantern dance hall where he snuck around the back and peeked in the door. Jimmy Liggins and T-Bone Walker, among others, played there. From 1951-53 he served in the U.S. Army and was posted out to the Korean front. With a natural propensity to use his hands, he worked on auto assembly lines before he started (at the urging of his hero B.B. King) entering talent shows and sit-in gigs with local bands as a stand-up singer. One of these gigs involved the great “Bobo” Jenkins from Forkland, Alabama.

Why are dialectic swings in approaches to political economy becoming so dramatic - exemplified by dramatic swings between internationalism and xenophobic nationalism - occurring? Why is national consensus, civil unity, so hard to achieve? This book argues that the answer lies in the growing complexity of societies globally. On the one hand this growing complexity has husbanded a golden era in which the standard of living is improving throughout most of the world; on the other hand it has laid the groundwork for the total destruction of the human race.

  • Charlestown Annual Veterans' Dinner
    VOL. 118 - NO. 46 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, NOVEMBER 14, 2014 $.35 A COPY CHARLESTOWN ANNUAL VETERANS’ DINNER by Sal Giarratani Once again, all Charlestown veterans and those presently on active duty, family and friends packed the Knights of Columbus on Medford Street last Friday, November 7 at the 2nd Annual Veterans’’ Dinner sponsored by the Abraham Lincoln Post 11, GAR. This year’s gathering more than doubled in size over previous gatherings at Post 11 GAR on Green Street. Post Commander Joe Zuffante, hoped next year’s gathering and those to follow will keep growing in participation. As a member of Post 11, I very much appreciated the tribute this year to all those Townies who served during the Vietnam War, especially honoring those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. This annual pre-Veterans Day appreciation dinner is held to honor all who served in the Armed Forces. It was 96 years ago on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, that World War I came to an end and hun- dreds of thousands of American soldiers began the long voyage home. This year, in the months to come many of our troops will be coming home and sadly many others will be going off to harm’s way leaving their loving fami- lies behind to defend American principles. As a Vietnam era U.S. Air Force veteran, I remain especially cognitive of the lack of appreciation and honor due to them when they returned from the war which had grown quite unpopular at home in the U.S.

  • Making America's Music: Jazz History and the Jazz Preservation
    Making America’s Music: Jazz History and the Jazz Preservation Act Jeff Farley Department of American Studies University of Glasgow A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2, 2008 c Jeff Farley 2008 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate some significant examples of the process by which jazz has been shaped by the music industry and government and their ideas of the place of jazz within American culture and society. The examples demonstrate that the history and traditions of jazz are not fixed entities, but rather constructions used to understand and utilise issues of race, national identity, cultural value, and musical authenticity and innovation. Engagement with such issues has been central to identifying jazz as America’s music, as it earned this status from its worldwide popularity and its identity as an inno- vative black American art form. Recognition for jazz as American music, in conjunction with its improvisational nature, consequently led to the identification of jazz as ‘demo- cratic’ music through its role in racial integration in America and in its representation of American democracy in government propaganda programmes. The different histories of jazz and its status as democratic, American music have all been especially important to the development of House Concurrent Resolution 57 in 1987, referred to as the Jazz Preservation Act (JPA). Authored by Congressman John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan, the JPA defined jazz as a ‘national treasure’ that deserved public support and inclusion in the education system. Few in the industry have criticised the recognition and public subsidy of jazz, but many have found fault with the JPA’s definitions of jazz and its history that have dictated this support.
