I had intended to post something else today but decided not to.  I will save that for another time.

A short while ago I picked up a passport application thinking I may need one this year to visit someone.  For some reason I just let it sit on my desk.   This past week it was made quite clear to me that reason for the passport was not going to happen.  So life goes as disappointment shows its ugly head again.  Well there will be those who appear in our lives and then throw us curves, walls and barriers I do suppose.  So is life.

I suggested a radio station to a friend to listen to in the morning in case they wanted to visit this fine country of ours and become accustomed to the music world as it is different here.  I am quite sure that suggestion was not taken in earnest.  In any case that is how life sometimes unfolds.

Anyway, I was listening to this station, CBC radio2 usually with Tom Allen in the morning and sometimes Rich Stirfry in the afternoon.  Actually his name is Rich Terfy as I was hearing things again or possible hungry for Chinese food.  They have a contest running for a trip to New York to see Leonard Cohen in concert at the Radio City Music Hall on May 16th.  That would work out for me as right now it is too busy at work but by then things should ease off a bit.  I thought perhaps taking an extended leave at that time may be in the offing.  I won’t discount that now of course, and leave it up to the gods of music and good fortune.

If interested you may also enter the contest.  The station can be listened to on the internet, CBC Radio2. Just joking do not enter. ;) I want that trip. Hurry the contest ends March 22, 2009.

So going to keep this short today/tonight and let Leonard play us out with his Dance To The End of Love.  I guess we have all been there.  Well at least he has some juicy creative waves for the world and especially for the ladies. Music for the soul.  Spiritual music for sure.

Cheers,

Don’t Be So Mean Jelly Bean

OK, I am back.  Do not ask why or why I have waited this long to make another post.  Well no one is reading this blog so I am sure it does not matter!

I am going to post this with the featured song dedicated to someone, Don’t Be So Mean Jelly Bean.  You know who you are.  ;)

Sending you my love, anyway!

P.S Yes this is a joke, it is all about perception If you thought this was about you, why? It is never about you, it is always about me, me myself and I and it mirrors back to us and all that good stuff. !

It is also going out to anyone who may be alive. You may also know who you are, especially, if you are truly alive.

Justin Rutledge is a singer and  songwriter who happens to be from Canada. One of many good young talents.   Check him out on Wikipedia if you are interested in knowing more. OK, he was born in Toronto, still we forgive him. ;)

  • Listen to the emote-ion in his voice and the awesome lyrics.  Something special, I believe.

Awesome. Did I say that?

I also like his song, Alberta Breeze, maybe I will post the video another day.

Music in any language can transcend the daily grind.  It is really heart centered and can resonate with the heart and soul.  It is also personal so what is meaningful to one may not be to another.

Certain things can enhance our experience while listening to music.  Time, place and who you are with, sometimes brings more meaning to the experience as well.  Yes I know it can go the other way, I know it well, so I tend to listen to that which I find more uplifting.   I can only take so much of “old” songs.   There are lots of good artists out there.

Yes it can be highly spiritual or not.   It is a joyful experience to many of us.

Anyway I hope you will enjoy this.  One or two of you perhaps.

Cheers,
