NOWnow 09:00
I used to want to sail out on the open ocean do some craggy steep climb vertigo incline be some hero soldier daring under heavy fire sweep in low a' straffing tracers enemy laid low now It's subtle now I'm after now this subtle now is ample I used to picture me in three-piece suit and ty German helmet sleeveless leather Harley roaring on or counting rows and columns daily into my old age or pace 8 by 8 steel cell serving ten to twenty years now It's subtle now I'm after now this subtle now is ample I used to wait to perch in rocky cliff and snipe at posse take a rubble city hand to hand door to door or crest hundred foot waves on Maui wind and spray or ride the biggest roller coaster parachute now It's subtle now I'm after now this subtle now is ample I used to wanna ski down mountain slopes of pure white snow plunge deep water wetsuit glamour barracuda lair live in twenty bedroom splendor thousand dollar plates strut upon a stage of limelight Hollywood marquee now It's subtle now I'm after now this subtle now is ample I used to want complete approval from all gods and men and the items there at Walmart warehouse water proof soaring thru the high sky first class 30,000 feet satisfied to snap my fingers summon certain bliss now It's subtle now I'm after now this subtle now is ample

Through half-closed lids I look out my eyes at the night time magic stars in the sky I speak with impatience to get to my statement about button pusher bumper sticker button pusher 2 you leave the engine running as you go for cigarettes the ash tray in the parking lot something I can't forget the business of your uncle is poisoning the stream mean button pusher obscene button pusher 3 a long line on the interstate American-made but everything is covered it's a military parade the budget is classified you know it to be high professional button pusher solid gold button pusher 4 the aftermath of a massacre ticker tape and pop the blind-fold of justice put on the patriot the body count is secret the real agenda hid national button pusher political button pusher 5 cloudy day acid rain emptying the pond automobile emissions say it might not now be long desertification greenery good by indifferent button pusher fatal button pusher

Same You 08:14
It seems so solid you can whack it with a stick the stick'll bounce back a lick being solid too but it used to be something way else in the way past you'll never step in the same river twice hell hell ain't even the same you take a deep phenomenology let it out now now 2 It's so slippery try to grab a holdt it'll leave you failin dry and oldt and slippery too as much as you reach it'll slip off, to the way past you'll never step in the same river twice hell hell ain't even the same you take a deep phenomenology let it out now now 3 It passes like a siren but somewheres underneath Is something that'll be here like all through and that something is so me, is so we you'll never step in the same river twice hell hell ain't even the same you take a deep phenomenology let it out now now

No jacusi no sports utility no baseball box tickets for me no jet airplane no view of the bay all I've got is what I'm not doing today 2 no obligation to work on Maggie's Farm don't compete or cheat or do nobody harm my stock options are limited at best no down-sizer preying on the rest I just wanna waken feel the light on my face in the morning reach for my breakfast from the bow hanging by my hand 3 no occasion to blush and mumble shucks no military war money bucks no transfusion of latent capital no mumbo jumbo doublespeak scenario 4 no jacusi no sports utility no hotel room service for me no chauffeur no valet no personal secretary no one on retainer no tax accountant attorney

about

WillEye (Willie Oliver) and I (Tom Ferguson) jam weekly and sometimes record what we do, the free form, improvisational side. We also do straight covers and my originals. These nine were recorded in a session 8/19/16.

The cover for this "album" is a painting called Mokska, a Hindu word for enlightenment. The image is stolen from one of my daughter's sketch books (her very young sketch books, always a delight). I did it on tongue and groove floorboards left over from a kitchen project which makes it part of my series on found objects.
