I had to get old to fully understand the lesson my grandmother started teaching me, by word and example, when I was about nine or ten. One helped me come to be comfortable when talking about my own mortality and the passing of time. The song we are sharing here speaks to her advice that time keeps on keeping on until it doesn't, and as she would say, "...use every day up doing good and being kind and don't be worrying about what is in other hands!" The older I get, the better her lesson sinks in. For me her lesson has been a guide and a gift! I'm not sure she would have picked the music, but that was in our hands. This is not a sad song. If there's wisdom, it is hers!
Lyrics:
(2023) In The Blink Of An Eye (Captain Spin)

My days run by lightning, Week to week like a bullet train
Months spin so fast it’s frightening, years blow by like a hurricane
What happened to my yesterday, 
It’s gone before I know
Seems like I’m racing rain, and coming up drenched 
But I don’t want to miss the show!
 
Chorus:
In the blink of an eye, like a tick of the clock
Sudden changes in the weather, whether we like it or not
In the blink on and eye, like a wink from Captain Spin
Time gets here when it gets here once again.

There’s times I feel a little lonely, a crowd of my friends have passed
My kid’s got half grown kids of her own, and man they’re growing fast
I’ll catch up in my mind tomorrow
And watch the young ones grow
Seems like I’m chasing time, and running behind 
But I don’t want to miss the show!

Repeat Chorus:
Solo:
Bridge:
Well I’m hanging in and hanging on, watching it come and go
I’ve made it through the intermission, and most of my highs and lows
I’m bound to make it to the final act, to the exit time for me
And find me a window on the other side, to see what I can see.

Chorus:
 In the blink of an eye, like a tick of the clock
Sudden changes in the weather, whether we like it or not
In the blink on and eye, like a wink from Captain Spin
Time gets here when it gets here once again.

Tag:
In the blink on and eye, like a wink from Captain Spin!

I am a Songwriter from North Carolina, playing piano and producing my own music, independently recording at recording studios in Nashville and New York. Music is my passion, but I also work full-time as a Software Test Engineer in the financial sector.

Been writing songs for fifty years so lots of bad ones and a few good ones.

Rock & Roll musician, aspiring songwriter.

JoDan Music’s principal members are Jo and Dan Wilburn with friends added on each project. We aim to produce stellar music without regard to a specific genre. 

Jo Wilburn has been a professional singer and entertainer, an actor, voice-over artist, radio on-air personality, announcer, show host, spokesmodel, public speaker, published writer, and, before any of that, or sometimes during, a software engineer. 
Through it all, songwriting has been her constant passion and ongoing pursuit. 
Raised in a small town in Oklahoma, Jo moved from Oklahoma to Texas, to Puerto Rico, to Nashville, to Branson, and back to Texas. She now lives in Austin. 

	Dan Wilburn grew up in Nashville hanging out in studios with his well-known engineer father learning the technical side of the music industry. 
After almost a decade of touring, playing bass, writing, and recording a wide variety of music, his world changed. 
His father died while building a new studio. Dan came off the road, completed the studio, and became part owner and head engineer, working with such artists as Bobby Brown, Bobby Boyd, Method Man, CeCe Winans, Lamar Campbell, Kirk Franklin, and many others. He has both gold and platinum albums to his producing and engineering credits.
He has continued his bass playing with many popular regional bands. Through hard work and dedication, Dan has developed a unique style that is solid while keeping a creative edge and intense attitude in his sound.
He now lives in Austin Texas. 

Lots more music to come.
