Spring … let’s try that again.
I had a terrible time with this simple post.
It just wouldn’t come together. And when I finally thought
it was Ok and I posted – it looked fine. Then today I get up
and an absolutely disjointed mess. Weird.
I think it’s OK now ???
In the Park it’s still Winter …
Yet the garden is raring to go …



I think these flowers are called Optomistics.
But we’re not putting the
snow shovels away just yet.

Hmmm … seems almost politically appropriate.
Silent Western Classics based on the books by Zane Grey.
Could use a few of those today.
The great Western Writer

Love Song
Sung Elton John / Written by Lesley Duncan
Lyrics:
The words I have to say
May well be simple but they’re true
Until you give your love
There’s nothing more that we can do[Chorus]
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

[Verse 2]
You say it’s very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there’s no other way
And now it’s really up to you

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
You know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen?

Love is the opening door
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

The Dophins … and small Miracles …
THE DOLPHINS
Written by Fred Neil in 1966.
Sung beautifully by A Beautiful Day in 1970.
Over 50 interpretations of the song,
whose enigmatic lyrics still to ring true to our moment.
Neil was a noted songwriter and musician dating back
to the 60’s in the legendary Greewich Village scene.
He played with Dylan and other famous folkies from that era,
but never really sought the spotlight.
But he was a great songwriter.
Other music by Neil:
Everybody’s Talking (made famous by Harry Nilsson)
Neils original version:
The Other Side to this Life
Made famous by Peter Paul and Mary
Neil’s original:
Which was really a biography of his way of life in those days:

I will never be accused of being an Dylanologist.
I just don’t have the energy to root though his garbage or analyse his works.
He is a true artist and often defies analysis of any kind anyway.
I just enjoy his writing as it is.
Much of it is truly inspired.
Here’s some other folks who probably feel the same way.
I particularly like the Grateful Dead tribute to the song
on Gratefully Dead.
I coulda posted a lot more here … but it will never end …
