Today

Sagan discusses the story of the Heike crab and artificial selection of crabs resembling samurai warriors, as an opening into a larger discussion of evolution through natural selection (and the pitfalls of intelligent design). Among the topics are the development of life on the Cosmic Calendar and the Cambrian explosion; the function of DNA in growth; genetic replication, repairs, and mutation; the common biochemistry of terrestrial organisms; the creation of the molecules of life in the Miller–Urey experiment; and speculation on alien life (such as life in Jupiter's clouds). In the Cosmos Update ten years later, Sagan remarks on RNA also controlling chemical reactions and reproducing itself and the different roles of comets (potentially carrying organic molecules or causing the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event).

Lyrics:
Naldo Africa from his poem

Neglected Love

You can see me crying 
forsaken and forlorn, 
there is unending pain 
happily I am not dying... 

Here I am lost on my own 
fallen pieces from my shape
kiss and hold unto you 
as my tears age to stone 

You can tear me far apart 
love me like you please 
scattered me to the wind
still I showed a lot of heart 

You can see me crying 
and outdoing my sad tears, 
I will always love you 
because I am not dying...


and Wounded by Lang Leav

Wounded

A bruise is tender
but does not last,
it leaves me as
I always was.

But a wound I take
much more to heart,
for a scar will always
leave its mark.

And if you should ask me
which you are,
my answer is -
you are a scar.

The world is under siege ...again. Olympics under way in the midst of a pandemic? Does it matter? Of course it does. However, when so much seems to be amiss for so many, for so long, maybe, it Doesn't Matter? An ode to a dystopian moment in human history.

                                          It Doesn’t Matter (available for free D/L at www.terrywigmore.com in the collection called Doesn't Matter)

Lyrics:
    It doesn’t matter how it works, just as long as it does
    It doesn’t matter what you think, just as long as you thought
    It doesn’t matter how you look, as long as you can see
    It doesn’t matter what’s in your mind, as long as it’s…free
    Look out…here we go…everybody got to know
    Everybody get together now
    One two a one two three…everybody look at me
    Everybody get together now
    Look out…here we go…everybody got to know!
    It doesn’t matter…yada yah yah…yada yah yah…yada yah yah yah
    Yada yah yah…yada yah yah…yada yah yah yah
    It doesn’t matter that you’re thinking, that you can or you can’t
    But it matters to your brother, that you’re probably right
    It doesn’t matter, coming second, the first or the last
    It doesn’t matter how a fool’s made, only when he smiles
    (INST)
    It doesn’t matter who you are, just as long as you were
    It doesn’t matter how badly you failed, just as long as you tried
    It doesn’t matter what you do, just as long as you do
    It doesn’t matter…it doesn’t matter…it doesn’t matter!

Doesn't Matter

Today marks the opening day of our critical House of Representatives hearing into the US's January 6th Insurrection and riots to assess the many people who were responsible for this unimaginable and dark day in US history, to bring them ALL to justice, and to make sure that this never can happen again.

An August improvisation... a Quest of sorts. 
Why?
Well... sometimes one just can't help but reach out for something Beyond the MatriX.   :-D

Rēs Quaesita

This was recorded in the front room, just me and guitar, couple of years ago. Unfortunately I haven't been able to play in this style for the last 12months due to a wrist injury, hence why my recent songs have been more strummy. 

This is The Rain, cheers!


The Rain

Long before September 11, 2001, there was a September 11, 1950; the birthdate of my wife Terry.  This song started out as a very personal musical portrait of her.  Debra became interested in the track after I sent it to her for collaborative consideration.  The result is something very special for the both of us and we hope you too.  In my playing, I address the intimate side of the song and day. In Debra's playing, she addresses the now much larger meaning of the day for our nation and the world. Ultimately I think what we are saying is that 9/11 is profoundly personal. Each of us, if were old enough to remember, know where we were, what we were doing the day the attacks occurred. The attacks also shook the world, world markets, world travel, and any and all sense of security.   Profound sorrow was draped over our country and any nation that called us friend.  "Stay With Me" is another way of saying "hold me close", "we need each other", and as the track picture suggests "forget me not".    A big "thank you" to Debra for lavishing her talent on this very personal song.    More of her beautiful music can be heard @debra_buesking.

Connecting, creating and sharing with others has been quite a transformative experience and one that I trust will continue for years to come. I enjoy listening to musicians on SC, and try to leave encouraging and descriptive comments.
Who said retirement can't be fun!
