Oh how the worst luck of all can be your guide, your scout.  Concurrently, a great fortune can become your trickster, your enigma and downfall. 
Any emotional pain I am feeling, I can gamble, is tied directly to my beliefs that things should be a certain way... and they are not. 
 In hindsight, we sometimes find gratitude in places we least expect and our bad luck all along was just the luck we needed. That Good Luck. 
  That is the Tao of Lucky Stevie and the Sweet Down Low.

It makes you wonder...
 All the brilliant things we might have done with our lives if only we suspected we knew how.

 Birds sing to defend and impress

For a bird, singing can be draining. It is both energetically expensive and alerts predators. So then why do birds sing? Evidence suggests that in part, it is to proclaim and defend their territories
  Studies have also shown that songs play a crucial role in attracting and impressing potential mates and may signal the overall health of the singer. As in humans, singing in birds is often a chance to show off.

RIDE

I stopped at the Local 46 for a Coke, and met an interesting character who just happened to live outside, for now. I shared with him a story or two but asked him what he wanted the most...and he really thought about it, then I said that I was sorry, and that was a dumb question to ask a homeless man...but he said to my surprise that he didn't want my money but hadn't played a guitar for like 8 months because he lost his...Hmmm. I hugged him and sped home and grabbed my guitar, recording equip and software....sped to Walgreen's and grabbed some warm socks and an energy drink for me and sped back to the local 46...he was gone :(
Then someone said he's over at the library across the street...so I went and got him, took him back to the local, set up my equip. and let him record 2 songs that I will master and put on Soundcloud for him...He's 57...Eddy Beck. and I just got home...He had tears in his eyes when he was done and I do right now because he chose to play music rather than take money...and that my friends takes courage!
