Home to sports legend Hank Aaron and Braves baseball, southern cooking, tons of historical landmarks — from Centennial Olympic Park to the King Memorial Center — and history-makers, MLK, John Lewis, Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter to name a few, A-Town has neighborhoods of talented minds from all over the world. 

As the American South’s “Ellis Island”, our melting pot of metro neighborhoods makes us ATL strong and welcoming. As home to dozens of colleges and universities, Atlanta acts as a hub for higher education.

Night clubs? And hip hop? Oh yeah, we got that! A-Town is also a huge urban center for LGBTQ folks, so if you’re straight but not narrow, come, dine, and party with us!

Summertime in A-Town

I don’t believe in luck but I do feel very privileged to have two angels looking after me. My wife Jo and my daughter Charlotte have saved my life on three occasions keeping me alive until the ambulance arrived. I have been told that without their interventions I would not have survived.

Both have chosen not to believe in any God or indeed any outside power that can change our lives.  There may be many of you who disagree but these are the choices we make - each of us believes what we feel is best for us.  If a belief in a higher being helps give anyone’s life more meaning and guides them through each day, we have no argument with that at all.   

I think of Jo and Charlotte as my Atheist Angels.  The care they have given me during these close-to-death experiences shows what beautiful souls they are, always there for me at the time of greatest need.   

On every occasion, there were times when I truly thought that I was drawing my last breath, my existence disappearing as they fought to save me and all I could think of at the time was that, barring my brother Gal, all of my closest male antecedents died when they were just 63.  I was the same age during these episodes and I really didn’t want my name added to the sequence.  My Atheist Angels made sure that it wasn't.

Now I am 67, a proud grandfather, still around to enjoy the experience of watching my family thrive and grow.  There is another grandchild on the way later on this year and the more time I can spend with the love of my life Jo, the better and although my illness is not exactly how I planned things, I still try to enjoy every extra moment.

The continuation of ‘Cripple Club’ with Gal and Hans has been another unexpected bonus and we plan to keep going as long as we can. Here’s to the next song - I do hope you enjoy this one.   (Terry Reeves)

The whisper of a distance voice
Two angels arriving single choice
Keep breathing slow not too much
You're not leaving just stay in touch 

I’m floating yes I’m floating yes I’m floating floating away

A feeling of desperate final breath
Lonely moment no time to caress 
Fighting every 63rd dying thought
Surviving each gulp of air caught 

I’m floating yes I’m floating yes I’m floating floating away

Has time arrived to lay down still
Not accepted by two who really feel
More than one chance to live again
The Angels alongside helping pain

I’m floating yes I’m floating yes l’m floating floating away

Fight to avoid final thought of death
A fading light continues to suggest
Only time decides what, when and how
My Atheist Angels this time will not allow

I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating, I’m floating
I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating, I’m floating 
I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating,
Floating to stay……………………..cont

HEAVEN IN PARADISE (Lyrics)

Lyrics (Original Song) 
Verse 1
Come to the table with all your hard-earned fables 
And I will bring mine
But forgive me if I seem a little distracted
But there is something you can see that I just can’t 
Chorus
And the light is shining perfectly on you
You know the light is shining perfectly on you
Just like the greatest privilege that it will ever do
You know the light is shining perfectly on you
Verse 2
Though I am bathed in it nearly all of the time
I rarely see light when it shines 
But right now I know I will never forget 
this light as it shines on you 
Repeat Chorus


Shining Perfectly

Forever

what a complex paradoxical mix of counter currents flow through each of us. On one hand we write poetry and on the other hand we have a club. We are brutally savage and deeply empathetic at the same time. Somehow we need to tame the evil and let the good prevail

lyrics

refrain: good vs evil, helping vs hurting,selfish vs sharing, trust vs fear

in each of us a hurricane
a number 5 storm
each day tears our soul to pieces
so we never have the puzzle whole

how conflicted we are
how sick and twisted we are
all distorted and tortured inside
never finding peace never finding rest
always do the worst when we try to do our best

how inconsistent we are in what we do and say
yet how predictable we are in the mistakes we make
we always seem to tell the same sad story
never looking back to learn from our history

refrain

how brilliantly savage we are
how effective we are
when it comes to death and destruction we are number one by far

yet how slow we are
how inefficient we are
when it comes to showing others any love or affection

refrain

so how do we solve this terrible riddle that is us?
what sword can be used to cut this Gordian knot?
the answer lies in a simple phrase
one we say and hear almost every day
but something it seems to hard for us to do
that is: treat others as you hope that they would treat you

if you follow these simple words
you will find peace in the eye of your storm

how strange we are

Each day we’re painting life anew,

True Love

"Worlds Apart" is an epic power ballad capturing the ache of love amid cosmic separation, confusion, and yearning. It follows a journey through galaxies and storms where two souls defy distance, building from intimate piano whispers to triumphant orchestral swells and gospel choirs, culminating in eternal reunion. ��Full Lyrics[Intro]
Soft piano echoes, thunder rolls—
Stars ignite where distance grows.
The night remembers what we lost,
Two hearts drifting, counting costs.[Verse 1]
Through the dark, I still can hear your flame,
Whisper my soul, call out my name.
Every step across the void,
Love defies what fate destroyed.[Pre-Chorus 1]
Even when the galaxies collide,
Your light keeps burning deep inside.[Chorus 1]
We’re worlds apart, but I won’t fade,
My heart’s a storm your love has made.
Through the fire, I’ll break the chain,
Cross these realms to feel again.
No distance can erase my heart—
We’re torn by time, not torn apart.[Verse 2]
I see reflections blaze in gold,
In every dream your hands still hold.
Chaos calls, but I still choose,
To chase the dawn and never lose.[Pre-Chorus 2]
Even when the world stands still,
Your echo bends the light, my will.[Chorus 2]
We’re worlds apart, yet somehow near,
Your voice the anthem I still hear.
Through confusion, through the pain,
Love’s the reason we remain.[Interlude]
“Oooh… hear me calling through the deep…”
“Hold on… I’m coming through…”[Verse 3 – Reprise Rise]
Sky tears open, lightning falls,
Your name resounds through heaven’s halls.
Time surrenders, fate stands still—
Love commands, and we fulfill.[Instrumental – 50 sec]
Instrumental only – no lead vocal, focus on soaring string melody and powerful drum builds[Bridge]
Oh, through the fire, through despair,
You are the reason I still dare.
If the stars should drown in night,
I’ll still find your flame, your light.[Final Chorus Reprise]
We’re worlds apart, but I still know,
Your heart’s the place I call my home.
Even if the skies ignite,
Our love will paint them every night.
No force can break what fate designed—
Two souls eternal, intertwined.[Outro]
Soft piano returns, choir fades.
(Whisper:) “I found you through the dark.”
Lights dim, breathing slows—
Worlds apart, yet never alone. (see the generated image above)
