QuoteSTARBUCK "Moonlight Feels Right"

Aahhh, that righteous marimba solo!

A friend of mine who played mallet percussion (xylophone, vibraphone, marimba) in our high school band was obsessed with that marimba solo and practiced for hours and hours and hours trying to learn it by ear. By the time he finally figured it all out and could play it note-for-note we were sick of it.

Really sick of it.

Really, really sick of it.
If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.

     RAIN, O RAIN by Fool's Gold
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

Steal My Sunshine by Len.  It was a hit in 1999 and sampled the song "More More More" by the Andrea True Connection.

Don't get too close, it's dark inside.

"More More More" is maybe my all time favorite... but I remember and don't like that bratty LEN.
