"Whenever humans come together for any reason, music is there: weddings, funerals, graduation from college, men marching off to war, stadium sporting events, a night on the town, prayer, a romantic dinner, mothers rocking their infants to sleep ... music is a part of the fabric of everyday life."

"I never saw her in the daytime. We seemed to live by night. What was left of the day went away like a pack of cigarettes you smoked. I didn't know where she lived. I never followed her. All I ever had to go on was a place and time to see her again. I don't know what we were waiting for. Maybe we thought the world would end."

Well it's too hot to sleep, and I'm too cold to heat

Baker. Rain. Coffee.

Lately
You've been so forgetful
A kind of a stop and go forgetfulness
That bothers me

Kisses
I once had a netful
But you've been forgetful
And i'm never kissed
And it bothers me

Romance
Never any romance
No chance
And it bothers me

And someday
When you are regretful
You'll wish you had tried much less forgetfulness
You'll be upset

And forgetful
Won't be able
To forget

"Desafinado", is a song I've started working on for my band's set list. This masterpiece of chords (composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim) seem to follow one another in a perfect dance-like motion. Performed by João Gilberto in the vid above, It amazes me how fluent and effortlessly his style was.

Nothing says tough guy like the original white crew-neck. Classic. Understated and never goes out of style. Ditch the deep-v for a classic white crew neck for that laid back 50's cool. Don't opt for something high-end either. Remember, you're not wearing it to the Grammy's or even on a date. This is Saturday afternoon attire. Sunglasses, smokes and revolver optional. I like Hanes but there are some other brands out there that work. Wash it once and leave it in the dryer on high. Perfect fit. American classic.

Nowhere

There's this little place in the middle of nowhere
that has this red hot neon sign behind that bar that just buzzes
and hisses at you with a lonely glare
The bartender there, Jimmy, I think is his name
has warm blue, welcoming eyes and chalk white coarse hair
good guy Jimmy
Serves you ice cold beer and cocktails with weathered hands
and talks to you about life and women for hours
until he closes shop and shuts the red hot neon sign off.

Makes you wonder about Jimmy
and where his place in the middle of nowhere is.
