Feeling a little sick.....

Well I am back in Paris today. It's pretty wet, cold, and muggy. And to top it all off I have this pesky flu to contend with. But, I seemed to have been pulled to my computer to write something. I really don't what, so I am just gonna allow myself to babble. It's best that way. So I am listening to Rachell "mouth deep as a well" Farrell. I'm telling you every time I listen to one of her CD's I ask myself why do I continue as a singer. Not that I don't believe in my own talent, it's just that hers is sooo amazing. I mean when she sings, you can see her kidneys from the inside of her mouth. She has a range that just blows me away. And well it's good to hear her voice when you are sick and in Paris. Somehow everything is just fine.

So I got here about 4 or 5 days ago. (Can't remember now) I had a concert in a special events convention. It was pretty cool too. There was great wine and hors d'ouerves . There were lots of people and well it was generally cool. When I got to the hotel where we were staying (the band and everybody), I was completely floored. This was a four star hotel on the same street as the Eiffel Tower. Oh My God it was just beautiful. I wanted to stay all week. Great big ole tub, view to die for, and a great bar. I had a few glasses of Bordeaux red wine "1995" thank-you. It was just pure class. I was like ,"oh snap betta watch those ghetto tendencies". Anyone from the ghetto may know what I mean by that.

Then after that concert it was off to Bordeaux. Train to Bordeaux was great fun. The whole band was together and we made lots of noise at 8 in the morning. I am sure all the other passengers really appreciated us. Well you only live once so with that said, here is my official apology to all those people on the train ....."I'm so sorry to have been a thoughtless and inconsiderate neighboring passenger".... there all is good and right with the world now.
Bordeaux's concert was a bit smoky. There ought to be a law limiting each person to one cigarette an hour my God. Anyway, I saw some old friends while I was there. That was really cool. Music is really a universal connector in many many different situations. I tell you. I keep meeting people that I would not ordinarily meet much less talk to.

I had a great time to, while I was in the States. It was cool. I am just disappointed that not as many people voted in the end. It's a bit heartbreaking, but it's over now. Not that I am being a sore looser. It's just that I wish more of us (Americans) would pay attention to what's going on in the world, not just our neighborhoods. But, of course I know that I am asking for too much. Well I have two other events to attend to here in Paris then I'll be headed back to Texas to coninue to work on my CD. It's funny what life'll throw at you sometimes; a curveball, a foul, a cute man, well you know stuff like that. In any case I seem to be evolving because I look at things a little differently now. Not with so much despair as before. Maybe that's too much information, but it's the truth you know. I have now changed CD's and I'm listening to Amp Fiddler.... You are so deep ... Might I love ya ... Your vibrations touch my soul... Oh oh .....

Yeah that's what I love music that moves you that inspires you to be a greater you. So, even in the midst of all that is wrong in my world, I am inspired and I do have hope. It's gone get betta ya'll. And you know Mo betta make it Mo betta. Peace out....................
