I had a dream last night that I died and traveled to meet my maker. When I got to the gates Peter was standing there with a little funny smile , shaking his head. well needless to say I didn't feel overly confident about my chances of bouncing from cloud to cloud anytime soon.
Hey Pete , What's up? I said , figuring what the hell , I'll be there soon enought. in one hand he had a lone sheet of paper with his other arm leaning on what looked like the , " The Books of History Chronicles." Ya know Mick , looking at the lone sheet , you done some good and interesting things in your life. looking to his left he said. , " and then there's this!" I'm thinking , there isn't anything interesting in that big pile?
smiling , he put his arm on my shoulders , walking me away from the gates and tells me, " I like you kid , you were good for a few laughs but I just can't let you in right now . you're going to have to spend a little time in the sweat box."
the good news is that I would be allowed to take one CD with me to listen to while I burn off the fat of sin. so off I go with my copy of ...
other personal favorites are:
Albert King ~~ Born under a bad sign ~~ when you listen to Clapton , Hendrix , the Allman brothers, Stevie Ray Vaughn and countless other pretenders you are really listening to Albert King.
BB King ~~ Live in Cook County Jail ~~ No I wasn't there .
Billie Holiday ~~ Love Songs ~~
Van Morrison ~~ The Healing Game ~~
So I'm now sweating and dancing away the sins of my fat , waiting on my star in the heaven's.

Hi Janice, Thanks for the kind words.I understand about time , there is never enough.
I don't know about being a good writer , I just say what comes to mind and try to be honest.
Thanks again.
