A little something Phil McWalter sent for me to listen to years ago. I sprinkled a little too much pixie dust on this one and so had to scrap the idea although he pulled off quite a nice mix on his site.

The Conover

One Day ,Two Day  McWalter/Conover

Explicaciones Ignacio Labarca

Composed circa 1978
I'm getting old and I'm quickly turning gray
Been married 15 years today.
But now I'm questioning just what I did with all the time
to clear my mind so I could feel much better.

Electric storm is in my head tonight
Please Mr. Thunder can you tell me who is right?
We don't smile anymore.
All we seem to do is fight. 

I'll mow the lawn and then I'll take the garbage out
It's clouding up now and it looks like rain.
All I know is what I see 
I'm crying inside and I feel like screaming

Electric storm is in my head tonight
E. F. Hutton can you tell me who is right
Dow Jones is tumbling
Prudential's falling off the rock

Guitar solo by Matt Warnick

I'll cut the lawn and then I'll take the garbage out

Please Mr. Thunder can you tell me who is right?

This is a recording of a large earth mover "Cat" that is taking a house down behind ours. Quite exciting and three local birds and hummingbirds are very nervous so I decided to record this clip. After 20 years, we  just gained quite an extensive view of the entire Los Angeles skyline. We also lost a large 40 foot tree that housed many of our local birds. They seem to be  Working through it. Funny how things like that work.

This song is basically about relationships where two people love each other unconditionally.
Take the good with the bad and support each other no matter what.
That to me is what love is meant to be. 

When You Love Someone

I love you
You love me
That's the way its meant to be

Good or bad
Yours or mine
That's the way its meant to be

Sometimes life can get you down
Just call my name I'll come around

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good

Good or Bad
Yours or mine
That's the way its meant to be

Up or down
Smile or frown
That's the way its meant to be

Without your love my soul would die
Without your love then who am I

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good

First or last
Future or past
That's the way its meant to be

Sometimes life can get you down
Just call my name I'll come around

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good.

Run Rabbit Run
There's a man in these shoe's
that you will never know.
There's a part of his smile
that he will never show.

Everbody needs someone
Everybody needs someone to Love

There's a song in the field
'bout a rooster that crow's
And the longer he sing's
The believer will be

Mr. Rabbit's
found his pace
no one else can run the race
for him.

Mr. Rabbit's
found his pace
no one else can run the race
for him

You could take care of me
I could be your fool forever and ever
That would be wrong wrong wrong

You could find a lover in me
I could see the same in you
Oh we could get lost
That would be wrong wrong wrong

You could take care of me
All of my life
I could be your stupid Hero
That would be wrong wrong wrong 
That would be wrong.

White Room
((credits below)))
In the white room with black curtains near the station
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

Written by John Lennon in India, Dear Prudence was about Mia Farrow's younger sister, who refused to leave her chalet at the meditation retreat in Rishikesh, and had to be coaxed out by Lennon and George Harrison.

 
Prudence Farrow had become infatuated with meditation, locking herself away from the rest of the group and falling into deep states against the advice of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Dear Prudence is me. Written in India. A song about Mia Farrow's sister, who seemed to go slightly barmy, meditating too long, and couldn't come out of the little hut that we were livin' in. They selected me and George to try and bring her out because she would trust us. If she'd been in the West, they would have put her away.
We got her out of the house. She'd been locked in for three weeks and wouldn't come out, trying to reach God quicker than anybody else. That was the competition in Maharishi's camp: who was going to get cosmic first. What I didn't know was I was already cosmic. [Laughs.]
John Lennon
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
Prudence later confirmed she was more fanatical in her pursuit of enlightenment than those around her.

Being on that course was more important to me than anything in the world. I was very focused on getting in as much meditation as possible, so that I could gain enough experience to teach it myself. I knew that i must have stuck out because I would always rush straight back to my room after lectures and meals so that I could meditate. John, George and Paul would all want to sit around jamming and having a good time and I'd be flying into my room. They were all serious about what they were doing but they just weren't as fanatical as me...
At the end of the course, just as they were leaving, George mentioned that they had written a song about me but I didn't hear it until it came out on the album. I was flattered. It was a beautiful thing to have done.

Had to get the train 
from Potsdamer Platz
You never knew that
That I could do that
Just walking the dead

Sitting in the Djungle
On Nürnberger Straße
A man lost in time
Near KaDeVe
Just walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

Twenty thousand people
Cross Bösebrücke
Fingers are crossed
Just in case
Walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

As long as there's sun
As long as there's sun
As long as there's rain
As long as there's rain
As long as there's fire
As long as there's fire
As long as there's me
As long as there's you

Where Are We Now?    Conover/Massimo Ghianda

Free as a bird, 
it's the next best thing to be. 
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry, 
like a homing bird I'll fly 
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to 
the lives that we once knew?  
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch 
that seemed to mean so much? 
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird, 
like the next best thing to be. 
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry, 
like a homing bird I'll fly 
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to 
the life that we once knew? 
Always made me feel so free.
Free as a bird. 
Free as a bird. 
Fly my friend...... Fly

Free as a Bird  (Conover/Steen)

I can’t fall in love with you
This would never work in a million years
I trust my heart in situations such as these
This would never work in a million years

Step by step I hear you calling
Do you need my help
Where can I find you
Step by step I hear you falling
Can I help you
Can I help you

I helped my mother to pay off the farm
I counted chickens after school
I was a hard working lad
I helped my mother to pay off the farm
I counted chickens 
I was a hard working lad

I can’t fall in love with you
This would never work in a million years
I trust my heart in situations such as these
This would never work in a million years

Step by step I hear you calling
Do you need my help
Where can I find you
Step by step I hear you falling
Can I help you
Can I help you

I helped my mother to pay off the farm
I counted chickens
I was a hard working lad

We shall see how things work out
We shall see how things become unworkable

I'm just a little person
One person in a sea
Of many little people
Who are not aware of me
I do my little job
And live my little life
Eat my little meals
Miss my little kid and wife

And somewhere, maybe someday
Maybe somewhere far away
I'll find a second little person
Who will look at me and say—
I know you
You're the one I've waited for
Let's have some fun

Life is precious, every minute
And more precious with you in it
So let's have some fun

We'll take a road trip way out west
You're the one I like the best
I'm glad I found you, like hangin' 'round you
You're the one I like the best

And somewhere, maybe someday
Maybe somewhere far away
Somewhere, maybe someday
Maybe somewhere far away
Somewhere, maybe someday
Maybe somewhere far away 
I'll find a second little person
Who will look at me and say—

AT THE END OF February 1967, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band returned to Boston for the second time in just over a month. The band had been on the road constantly since returning from its first trip abroad, a 30-day whirlwind tour of 28 different venues in England and Scotland in November. Since their arrival back in the States, the Butterfield Band had played New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and numerous places in between. Now they were back in Boston.
They were scheduled to play three colleges in one day – a chilly Saturday, February 25. The shows were to begin at noon with an appearance at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, and the guys had to unload the van and set up the equipment first. Butterfield’s star guitarist, Michael Bloomfield, lost it.
In a state of agitation, the exhausted Bloomfield had been suffering from insomnia for weeks. His was a hyperactive personality under the best of circumstances, and now the band’s non-stop gigging had thrown his system into disarray. He could no longer stand the demands of performing night after night.
He decided he had to quit the band that day.

And Michael Bloomfield was suddenly without a gig.
Bloomfield retreated to his Christopher Street apartment in New York’s Greenwich Village to rest up and think things over.
It wasn’t long before he began to think he should have his own band.
 
Forgotten Flag

Few today recall that there was another rock/horn band – a band that started it all. Or, if they do recall, they don’t recall much about it.
The Electric Flag deserves a better fate.
The creation of Mike Bloomfield, America’s first electric guitar hero, the Electric Flag was a ground-breaker in a numerous ways. In addition to being pop music’s first rock band to include a horn section, it pioneered the use of electronic instruments, blended a variety of musical genres, experimented with sound sampling and was one of the early racially-mixed pop bands. It also had the dubious distinction of being rock’s first “supergroup.”
Because the Flag has been largely ignored by critics since its dissolution in 1968, its story has never really been told in detail. A rock ’n roll rags-to-riches-to-rags tale, the history of Michael Bloomfield’s experiment in American music makes for interesting reading. But it also foreshadows the growth of American pop music away from the narrow confines of its segregated genres and toward an open confluence of styles and cultures. For that reason alone, music lovers – especially American music lovers – should know about the Electric Flag.

It's been such a long time
Since I've held you

And they we drive along the ocean with your hair undone
and your suitcase strapped firmly on my back. 

And so we drive and drive and drive and drive
And so we drive and drive and drive and drive
And so we drive and drive and drive and drive

Let the sunshine shine like before 
Before the rain came calling at our door

Me myself and I 
Only we know how we feel 
Me myself and I 
Were so surreal 
Me myself and I 
Only we see what we see 
Me myself and I 
Only me

Don't you wake me tomorrow 
Don't you wake me today 
Let me sleep off this sorrow 
Make the world go away
Let the sunshine shine like before 
Before the rain came calling at our door

Me myself and I 
Only we know how we feel 
Me myself and I 
Were so surreal 
Me myself and I 
Only we see what we see
 Me myself and I 
Only me

Let me tell you a secret
 Let me tell you a lie 
Here's my love you can keep it
 If you think we should try
Let the sunshine shine like before
Let the sun shine
 Before the rain came calling at our door
Let the sun shine in

Me myself and I 
Only we know how we feel
 Me myself I 
Were so surreal 
Me myself and I 
Only we see what we see
 Me myself and I 
Let it Be

Open the window and let the sun shine in ; )
