Smiles of a Sorrow

No free will, free will is gone

left too deepened underground.

And the will is a ripened fruit

- destiny's pursuit.

In the hands of God we lie.

At the myst'ry's end we'll die.

Time will recognize, time will recognize

the smiles of a sorrow.--

At the last breaths of kharma,

time we cannot borrow.

We awaken lost as the coin is tossed

by the Big Hand in the Wishing Well.

Where the bottomlessness is our hell,

there are no answers there.

There is no wisdom anywhere.

No! But I can't complain of pleasure or pain.

And the damned play on, knowing will is gone.

Will is gone--- gone--- gone----

Time will recognize the smiles of a sorrow

...of a sorrow.

These Difficult Months

American patriots everywhere have been going through one of the worst eras in American history over these past 6 months.  But we've got to remember...

America is the most extraordinary place on earth. I never realized it as much as when I went on a Deep South Rock & Roll blues tour last year... and the various road trips I've taken since then. It makes you feel so lucky to be alive in the land of the free... when you see her for all her glorious beauty. Take some time to explore this great country of ours. Talk to people... strangers for just a moment soon to be friends for life... Americans. #proudamerican

My art and music always keep me going...

Beau and Emily Bridges on Acting: The First Six Lessons

A truly great read for musicians, songwriters, historians and Americans who love this country. 

Sam Phillips: The Man Who Invented Rock 'n' Roll

Doc Pomus was one of my favourite songwriters growing up... and oddly, his brother, the famous lawyer in Manhattan was my client for a while in 2007! The Genius of Doc Pomus

Hoyt Axton

One of the greatest progressive rock songs ever - watch the lead singer (whose voice is phenomenal) switching from vocals to keyboards to bongos! Carry on My Wayward Son - Kansas

Shapeshift

I dedicate this song to my late brother, John Frazier.  He inspired this song which took me a long time to record this past year. Go here to listen.  Lyrics are below:

Shapeshift

[Dedicated to Johnny]

A. I.  A. I. is supernatural

Supersonic, fashionable
Transformation--- to divine
And the robot has a mind!

            Shapeshift! Adrift!

            on an astral magic ship
            inside--- outside--- to the future
            and the moon intensifies... intensifies---

Dreamscapes in the atmosphere

Navigation in the black
Flows smooth--- in the groove
We are all on the attack!

            Shapeshift! Airlift!

            the Concord crashes to the earth
            hey, hey, anime, midnight hero
            and the trails reset to zero... and then link.  ooohhh---

Ride the storm--- if you dare

exploding on horizons' flare
Night Flight--- in its shifting glare
sinks to dusk - a distant stare.    ooooohhhhhh---

Hurray! Anime! Superhero!

And the trails reset to zero.

Supersonic trailblazer

Supersonic stargazer
yeah-- yeah-- yeah-- yeah--

I am out of this world and into a new dimension

Airless grooves--- mindless moves---
Airless grooves--- mind-numbing moves---
A. I.

Savannah's Lights & Shadows

Continuing on the theme of my Deep South tour, I visited Savannah, Georgia and explored the riverfront and back alleys, which are covered with cobblestones.  Every nook & cranny brought a new surprise.  It reminded me a little of old New Orleans of the South.  See some of my photographs here.
