What is the most important treasure in life? Isn't it family and friends? I think it is. If such friendship lasts for more than 40 years, then something very valuable has come to life. This song is all about this. Picture taken in Rondane Nationalpark Norway. One of the guys who is normally with us is missing on the picture because he had to deal with Covid. He is fine again, cheers, Pauli!

WALK ON THE WILD SIDE (Lou Reed Cover)

Another relic from the lockdown vault...

I wrote and recorded this at the end of 2020 (hence no mention of the events of Jan 6th 2021) but never released it at the time for various reasons. 

Given recent events I thought why not clean it up and put it out. 

Just a bit of haaahmless fun as Arnie might say :)

No One Could Steer Me Right 🌞 JTSunrise Rendition 

Merle Haggard’s iconic song “Mama Tried” delves into the pain and suffering he caused his mother due to his incarceration in San Quentin in 1957. While the song isn’t strictly autobiographical, it reflects his experiences growing up

The story behind this timeless tune:
Merle’s father passed away when he was nine years old. His mother worked tirelessly to provide for the family. Merle was a wild child. At the age of 20, he was convicted of burglary and attempted escape from county jail. His 2 1/2-year term led him to San Quentin prison, where he played in the prison’s country band and pursued high school equivalency courses and where Merle had a cosmic encounter with the Man in Black himself! 

As a 21-year-old inmate at San Quentin in 1959, Haggard witnessed Johnny Cash’s legendary prison performance as an inmate. Cash’s prison show left an indelible mark on Haggard, inspiring him not only musically but also as a beacon of redemption

Merle began his musical journey earlier in life. He was performing music before he went to prison, and after his release, he resumed working in bars and clubs. His first recording was Wynn Stewart’s “Sing a Sad Song,” which became a national hit in 1964

I saw Merle preform live when my dad VL took me to a concert at our local county fair in rural Illinois in the 1970s

Merle passed away on April 6, 2016—his 79th birthday—in the San Joaquin Valley, California. He lost a brief battle with pneumonia. Haggard’s musical legacy, spanned the 1960s to the 2010s with nearly 40 number one hits. Interestingly, he had predicted his own passing, sharing this poignant insight with his son shortly before the fateful day

The iconic song “Mama Tried” was released in July 1968. It became one of the cornerstone songs of country music, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. It won the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999 and was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry due to its cultural significance. In 2021, it was ranked at #376 on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”! 🎵🌟

[Verse 1]
                D          G             D                G
The first thing I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowin'
      D                                 A7
A young un's dream of growin' up to ride
     D                     G         D                 G
On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I'm bound
       D                   A7             D
No one could change my mind, but Mama tried

[Verse 2]
        D          G             D               G
One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
    D                               A7
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
          D             G                    D             G
'Despite my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'
     D             A7         D
Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[Chorus]
              D                         G               D
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
   Bm                                 A7
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
     D                                 G             D
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin’ I denied,
                       A7                 D
That leaves me the one to blame ‘cause Mama tried

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
          D               G               D            G
Dear old Dad, rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
      D                            A7
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
          D           G           D               G
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
    D                 A7             D
She tried to raise me right, but I refused

[Chorus Refrain]

Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
It doesn’t matter
If you’re weak or strong
It doesn’t matter
If it’s right or wrong
It doesn’t matter
If you bang a gong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Hey!
It doesn’t matter
If they string you along
It doesn’t matter
If you’re too headstrong
It doesn’t matter
Is you sing this song
It doesn’t matter
If she says so long
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
No one gets through life without any regrets
You have to take the leap without any nets
No one gets through life without any regrets
You have to take the leap without a net
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong

Wherever You Are, That's Where You Belong

Lyrics:
Picture for a minute the possibility
Livin' n' givin' n' winnin' n' gettin' so free
Witness beginnings and endings n' lettin' thangs be
Let the evil of humanity plunge deep in the sea
Get the noose let it wither away
And today you n' I both know what to say
In the face of destruction that's life reduction
It has only solely one function
Target and attack wack devil on a horseback
Bout to get God-smacked yea how ya like that
Well let the Good Lord carry on
Yea bout' to crush New Babylon
And every hidden thangs gonna be flipped around
From the top of the world to the underground
Yes and there will be justice
That's the word you can trust this
Chorus 2x
Every man has his day everythang flips around
If you look hard enough there's some truth to be found
If you're on another level then you know what I say
You're eternally alive, others fade away
Verse 2
Picture for a minute the insanity
The depth of calamity coupled with vanity
Lost in a selfie sea ain't nobody helpin' me
That's the way it's gotta be gotta seek deep relief
And I find it right here
Find on the inside that my mind gets live
I ain't never gotta hide only hold it down n' ride
Seein' God pick a side pick a fight wrong or right
Forget the hype flashy lights fake people not my type
Got a team and we're tight ILP yea that's right
Another dope track we know you feel that
Put your fist in the air time to hit back
Cuz every hidden thangs gonna be flipped around
From the top of the world to the underground
Yes and there will be justice
That's the word you can trust this
Chorus 2x
Every man has his day everythang flips around
If you look hard enough there's some truth to be found
If you're on another level then you know what I say
You're eternally alive, others fade away

Lyrics (by Stonerjazz):

We all chose it, we arrived here at this self-same place
he liked to think that he had earned it
but that simply not the case.
He just dreamed it up one sunday afternoon
while drowsing and lounging in the Ether
where the US resides
while living on a Proton Banished
to the outskirts of a single Atom
In a single Universe-
It was a wicked Curse, specifically designed for him
A scorcerer, Albert Rufus Smith
Stole a Rocket ship and he took it to Uriah
He was a rascal and scoundrel and a liar and a thief
But he had a magic knife that he had won in a game of dice
on a stormy night in a corner of some ruins
in the desert in december by the fire light with some other witches from Oaxaca
where he'd Spied Roberta picking magic mushrooms naked in the moonlight
with her brothers and her sisters and some others from the Bus-
It seems that Albert Rufus Smith Was Smitten

The eternal now is Wow
When we wonder why we wander
where we will
while walking walking walking to fulfill
the contemplated vacancy
Beyond the vast Horizen

Alberts knife was sliver with a handle made of Amber
when he held it high above his head
it gave off a blinding light
and on that night on the planet of Uriah
when Gus and all his jolly happy hopeful holograms arrived
on that Beat-up Bus
That formulated plan in Alberts wicked head
appeared to be on Track
had he not been messmerized by Roberta's perfect presence and physic
he might have pulled it off, that dirty rotten little sneak--

Sid and Larry caught him and his Cronies
trying to steal the bus and Abduct
Sally and Roberta too, Who
were sleeping on the bus in the back together as they always do,
And Gus was not Amused-
Albert seemed to be confused until he held his Magic knife up high
and blinded ever bodies eye
and in a frantic flight he escaped into the distant night--

Lyrics
Love's Road 
There's something in the air between us, my dear.
It's a whisper that you can't, hear.
There's something in the air between us, my friend.
An agony - we can't comprehend.
.
In this space between, you and me,
Is an ache so deep, and lonely,
With a climb so steep, to get there,
The air is thin, it's suffocating, oh!
Just out of reach.
Like a memory, oh!
But the weight of this is crushing, oh!
Where do I end?
And where do you begin?
I gave you my heart, to keep,
Safe.
Safe.
You promised me!
.
Calm, calm, calm and slow.
Darken the windows.
Hope is a long road.
Time is a quick trick.
.
Calm, calm, calm and slow!
Darken the windows.
Hope is a long road.
Balancing in the thick, thick.
.
It's like, God, wrote me a poem.
-
And now I know I'm alive.
Alive.
.
It has to have a place to go!
So you MUST know.
Your face is perfectly placed -
Your face is perfectly placed -
.
On Love's Road.
.
-End-
