tired

It has been a really long and difficult few days with starts around 6 in the morning and very late finishes midnight
Worked with 3 top performers
local band rubbish, loud, arrogant, not very talented. What is it about spotty kids and `Who samples` .
but Viv rennie and RAPP group `make Jesus known`
Very different atmosphere in the club and church hall,
huge effort by many and tremendous response from young people,
all in all its been hectic but mega....more after l eat well and sleep. 

the clocks have gone back and the sun is not so warm
l appear to be centred with nature at the moment
l am feeling a bit ragged late nites gigging which is a alternative to my day job (kinda) and cunt of neighbour who upsets every body with parking issues

a thing of beauty

this is the first vase of flowers l have had in the house for over 2 years.
in a world of fear,uncertainty,anguish,mistrust.
l am so glad a man called Jesus came and showed a 16 year old teenager in Northern town a way to get through it all...that's was then and its true today
a thing of beauty.

gigging etc. . .

well its all happening. . we got groups,downloads and DJ all happening in our small part of the planet,
several groups are appearing with myself over the next few weeks.
Massive venues and small church halls.
it same amount effort energy and workload involved in either place.
same hours
running times.
playlist very differant.
l get excited Saturday is the first of many
l am playing a lot of rock n roll, middle of the road stuff Saturday.
its a older audience in a large dance hall with alcohol.
Friday vinyl and all rave music...l will not be playing a set.
next week several shows with pop and currant musicstyle real lot of soul,dance and r`n`b.
excited. . nervous. . hurried . tense (so much could go wrong) . .prepared. ? ? ?

Hull fair tonite

we going to Hull Fair tonite, really excited, settle down for rest this afternoon as it will be very late finish.
the young people are mega crazy for this evening,but other adults are not so keen.

"I did nothing. I sat at my kitchen table for a year. Life drifted by."

but thats life . . it will be again for me. . and it may be for you also but with Gods hand..l will get thru. .and so will you.

the wallers family

Urban prayer from micheal frantic and spearhead

Oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ suicide
singin’ oh my, oh my God
out here mama they got us livin’ genocide

Slam bam I come unseen
but like gasoline you tell I’m in the tank
like money in the bank
I smell appealing, but I’m toxic, can send you reeling
without an inklin’, keep ya thinkin’
‘cause you gave cash to the feds, left your school district for dead
fucked you up in the head, but still they sayin’ nothin’s wrong
still believing the systems workin’
while half of my people are still out of workin’
anonymous notesleft in the pockets and coats
of judges and juries from ‘Frisco and Jersey
threats and protests politicians mob debts
trumped up charges and phony arrests
stage a lethal injection, the night before the election
‘cause he got donations from the prison guard’s union
(chorus)

Listen to my stethoscope on a rope
internal lullabies, human cries
thumps and silence, the language and violence
algorithmic, cataclysmic, seismic, biorhythmic
you can make a life longer, but you can’t save it
you can make a clone and then you try to enslave it?
stealin’ DNA samples from the unborn
and then you comin’ after us
‘cause we sampled a James Brown horn?
scientists who’s God is progress
a four-headed sheep is their latest project
the CIA runin’ like that Jones from Indiana
but they still won’t talk about that Jones in Guyana
this ain’t no cartoon, no one slips on bananas
do you really think that that car killed Diana
hell I shot Ronald Regan, I shot JFK

I slept with Marilyn she sung me “Happy Birthday”
singin’
(chorus)

Well politicians got lipstick on the collar
the whole media started to holler
but I don’t give a fuck who they screwin’ in private
I wanna know who they screwin’ in public
robbin’, cheatin’, stealin’
white collar criminal
McDonald eatin, you deserve a beatin’
send you home a weepin’, with a fat bill for your Caribbean weekend
for just about anything they can bust us
false advertising sayin’ “Halls of Justice”
you tellin’ the youth don’t be so violent
then you drop bombs on every single continent
mandatory minimum sentencin’
‘cause he got caught with a pocket full of medicine
do that again another ten up in the pen
I feel so mad I wanna bomb an institution
singin’
(chorus)

cold wet and windy in UK

SO IN MY MIND l HAVE GONE ON A JOURNEY THRU THE MEDIUM OF PHOTOS TO MALTA
wanna come?
we will get a bus stopping at the terminal where all the bus stop in Vallatta,
sail across selima bay to seafront,
have a cold drink, sit in the sun talk to a old fisherman,
then stroll around to San Pawls bay,(St Paul's).
then walk along the sand before having Maltese national dish. rabbit with cheese and bread.
did that work?

What does it feel like to describe you and your feelings?

a few pictures to remind us all of past times
l am having a few issue downloading photos.
most of these have been either at Deuesbury or Ravenscar in West and East yorkshire.
l am not a flowerman glad to state that here but often l see a image and if fortunate
have camera nearby will take a shot
and there a few here for you and l to reflect upon

OH MY GOD..my lord

l thank God
i thank God that the young person l sent out last evening came back in
l thank God for the sand we walked along last Monday
l thank God for the safe tide that washed the shores of our beach
l thank God that l have loved and lost
l thank God for the meetings today and tomorrow sharing the work concerns care and love
l thank God you are reading this
l thank God for all the e-mails fone calls talks and txts
oh my God for the uncertain future still l thank GOD
