a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

sound and songwriting
Posted on January 22, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

David Crosby has been a strong voice in my musical atmosphere for more than four decades.
   When I was 12 years old, the album 4 Way Street was left behind at our home after one of my brother’s parties and I became lured into the world of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Through the years, more albums by the quartet, or solo albums by individual members, or in parings or trios would find their way into my ever-growing record collection.
    CSNY were all musicians that demanded attention because of the sound and the songwriting. Crosby, along with Graham Nash, provided the soaring harmonies on so many beautiful songs of an era.
   Sadly, this week, David Crosby passed away.
   His legacy remains. You can still hear it.

you must first
come daylight
wipe fingerprints
from your lens
leftover pain
from yesterday
or darker nights
when you
had to know
what time it was
your vision
will be clearer
today

Each day is
different, yet
seem similar to
yesterday or
another day.
