Ahira's Hangar

Followed by The Last Night of the World-Bruce Cockburn.

I'm sipping Flor De Caña* and lime juice, it's three a.m.
Blow a fruit fly off the rim of my glass
The radio's playing Superchunk and the friends of Dean Martinez

Midnight it was bike tires whacking the pot holes
Milling humans' shivering energy glow
Fusing the space between them with bar-throb bass and laughter


If this were the last night of the world
What would I do?
What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you?

I learned as a child not to trust in my body
I've carried that burden through my life
But there's a day when we all have to be pried loose


If this were the last night of the world
What would I do?
What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you?

I've seen the flame of hope among the hopeless
And that was truly the biggest heartbreak of all
That was the straw that broke me open


If this were the last night of the world
What would I do?
What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you? *****

Listening to the Man in Black tonight!

Artist: Johnny Cash Lyrics
Song: You Are My Sunshine Lyrics

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But now you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains.
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Some Stones tonight.


She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is lik a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Have you seen her all in gold?
Like a queen in days of old
She shoots her colors all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

U2 LYRICS

"Crumbs From Your Table"

From the brightest star
Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer
Why did you offer your soul?
I was there for you baby
When you needed my help
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself?

Cool down mama, cool off
Cool down mama, cool off

You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

You were pretty as a picture
It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart thinking every heart mends

You speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by

And you speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table ******************************************************

On this, Remembrance Day, I listened to the 1st movement of Mahler's Ninth. This one movement, from this one symphony, expresses a haunted sense of death and loss more keenly than just about any other piece of music I've heard. It's the one piece I make a point of listening to on this day, when the ghosts of the past come to haunt the present in full force. <i></i>

That is a very good choice. There is something very haunting about Mahler's Ninth. After he has stormed at grief and death in his Fifth...by the time he gets to the Ninth there is a sort of acceptence there... ******************************************************

Rush-Time and Motion

Time and motion
Wind and sun and rain
Days connect like boxcars in a train
Fill them up with precious cargo
Squeeze in all that you can find
Spontaneous elation
And the long enduring kind

Time and motion
Flesh and blood and fire
Lives connect in webs of gold and razor wire
Spin a thread of precious contact
Squeeze in all that you can find
Spontaneous relations
And the long enduring kind

The mighty ocean
Dances with the moon
The silent forest
Echoes with the loon

Time and motion
Live and love and dream
Eyes connect like interstellar beams

Superman in super nature
Needs all the comfort he can find
Spontaneous emotion
And the long enduring kind

Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, from Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. <i></i>

Tonight a couple of rock greatest hits albums ~ The Best of the Doors and Dave Matthews Band Best of What's Around.

Someone lent me their Barenaked Ladies holiday album, and it was great! Nice mixture of Hannaka and Christmas songs, with some original stuff, and some very fun stuff.

I have not heard
Jingle bells
Batman smells
Robin laid an egg...
in years and years and years. <i></i>

Last night I was listening to a bunch of Shinedown and Carry On and Long Time Coming off 4 Way Street (live) by C, S, N & Y. And I lent, after learning he was a major Jefferson Airplane and Joe Satriani fan, my next door neighbor; the soundtrack to A Walk On The Moon, Birds of Fire by The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Hello It's Me-Todd Rundgren and Inammorare by Ottmar Liebert. *****
