JJ Grey "Your Lady She's Shady" Live at KDHX 10/26/13

Harlan County Line

once again the sound of the tam-tam suggested to me the connection to the song of the marine mammals

this was probably because I was quite captivated by 'Whale Wars' (Sea Shepherd - Paul Watson) and was amazed by the similarity of the sounds of the tam-tam to the song of the humpback whales or even the dolphins...

even though this recording unfortunately only exists in mono, the lack is somewhat compensated for by the voices of the surrounding nature - especially those of the birds...

the sea sessions

for the whales (take2 t10 - mono)

Here’s a thought: Earth is around 4.5 billion years old. Humans? We’ve only been around for about 140,000 years.  

To put that into perspective, imagine Earth’s entire existence compressed into a single 24-hour day. Humans would’ve shown up in the last three seconds. Just three seconds. And look what we’ve managed to do in that blink of time.

We gave ourselves the name *Homo sapiens*, meaning "wise man." But are we really wise? Sure, we’re smart. We’ve figured out how to split atoms and send machines into deep space searching for new planets. But we also used those atoms for war. And while we explore the stars, we’re destroying the one home we actually have.

That’s not wisdom. Wisdom listens. It pays attention.  

But we’ve ignored every warning sign from nature. We’ve turned a blind eye to her cries for help. Real wisdom knows that everything we do has consequences. So we shouldn’t be surprised when the weather gets more extreme, or when wildfires and droughts hit harder and more often.

Pollution is at an all-time high. We're cutting down more forests, pumping out more carbon, and wiping out species faster than ever—at a rate **1,000 times** higher than normal. That’s staggering. In the next few decades, animals we all grew up with—lions, rhinos, elephants, gorillas, polar bears—could be gone forever. All in the short time we’ve been here.

These animals survived millions of years without us. But they might not survive us. In our short time, we've turned the natural world into a factory, a conveyor belt of consumption.

We need to wake up.

Earth is a rare gem—maybe the only one like it. We’re not just one in a million. We’re one in **a billion trillion trillion**. That’s a one followed by 33 zeroes. How is that not a miracle?

We sit at the perfect distance from the sun—not too hot, not too cold. Just right. This planet gives us everything: food, shelter, medicine. Forests heal us. Oceans sustain us. It’s no accident. It’s all connected.

Every living thing, from flowers to fish, shares a thread in this web of life. We are quite literally one family.

But somewhere along the way, we forgot. And that’s the real crisis—not just climate change or pollution or industrial farming. These are symptoms. The real problem is **us**—our disconnection.

We’ve lost our relationship with the natural world. Corporations feed us distraction and division, hoping we stay asleep. But people are waking up. And many are realizing: this is not okay. This is not the legacy we want to leave.

We can’t let greed and ignorance write our story.

I believe everyone should have the right to clean water. Safe food. Fresh air. Trees to walk beneath and nature to marvel at. These aren’t luxuries. They’re basic rights.

And no politician should be deciding whether we get them.

They want us to feel small and powerless—but never forget: a butterfly flapping its wings can trigger a storm across the world. When enough of us rise together, we can change everything.

We can build a future filled with care, connection, and freedom—for people and planet alike.

But it starts with *you*. Yes, you—right now.

Time is running out.  
And only together can we make it to that **fourth second**.

“Auf einem Grammophon aus Wasser regnen die Noten
nach der Art wie die Cherubine des Mehls auf Trompeten
aus Mehl blasen während mein Elefant seinen Rüssel in
einer Spirale ohne Ende ohne Punkt und ohne Beistrich
verwickelte das Fenster hat sich aus der Wand losgelöst
und ist in die Welt gezogen gute Reise denn siehe da ich
zeichne ein anderes Fenster.” M.Blecher (Groteskes Poem)
