Dear Beverly

-->

Just stopped by to say hello.

         You remembered me.

Always.

Good news,

your boy Zack is back.

He pitched a nice game

and your boys won again.

Have a tune for you today … enjoy.

Link:  Kacey Musgraves: Blowin' Smoke

Between the lunch and dinner rush
Kelly caught that outbound bus for Vegas
We're all out here talking trash, making bets
Lips wrapped round our cigarettes
She always thought she was too good to be a waitress

Well, we all say that we'll quit someday
When our ship comes in
We'll just sail away

But we're just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
We're just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
Out here goin' broke
Hey yeah
We're just blowin' smoke

Well Janie got divorced again
Her ex-husband's in the pen
From two to five, five to ten and longer
Brenda's traded smokes for cake
Still hadn't lost that baby weight
And that baby's about to graduate
From college

I'm just flicking ash
Into the tray
Tell them both it'll be okay

But I'm just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
I'm just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
I'm out here goin' broke
Hey yeah
Yeah we're just blowin' smoke

We all say that we'll
Quit someday
When our nerves ain't shot
And our hands don't shake, yeah
We all say that we'll
Quit someday
When our nerves ain't shot
And our hands don't shake

Wipe down the bar, take out the trash
Light one up and count my cash
Swear I'm never coming back again

I'm just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
I'm just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
Out here going broke
Hey yeah
Yeah we're just blowin' smoke

Sorry about your boys last night.

Those nasty Giants!!!

Kershaw pitched a great game,

but he got no run support.

Posey with a walk-off

in the bottom of the ninth

to win it two to one.   Sorry.

Have a tune for you today …

It’s a fun one … enjoy.

 (Ho!)

(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)

(Ho!) I've been trying to do it right
(Hey!) I've been living a lonely life
(Ho!) I've been sleeping here instead
(Hey!) I've been sleeping in my bed,
(Ho!) I've been sleeping in my bed
(Hey!)

(Ho!)

(Ho!) So show me family
(Hey!) All the blood that I would bleed
(Ho!) I don't know where I belong
(Hey!) I don't know where I went wrong
(Ho!) But I can write a song
(Hey!)

1, 2, 3
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet
(Ho!)

(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)

(Ho!) I don't think you're right for him
(Hey!) Look at what it might have been if you
(Ho!) Took a bus to China Town
(Hey!) I'd be standing on Canal
(Ho!) And Bowery
(Hey!)
(Ho!) And she'd be standing next to me
(Hey!)

1, 2, 3
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart

Love ‒ we need it now
Let's hope for some
So, we're bleeding out

I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet
(Ho!)

(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(The last one)
(Hey!)

You boys are 12 and 12

as order was restored yesterday

by your boy Kershaw.

How he has lost

two games is a head-scratcher.

Have a tune for you today … enjoy.

Link:  Black Sabbath: Paranoid

Finished with my woman
'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things
but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me, occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me
the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness,
I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh
and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and
love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words
telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late

Dear Beverly

Another beautiful spring morning.

Cats are ready to rumble.

I got a suggestion for a tune today …

I am told that you knew

all of the words and that you would

sing along on your way to Dodger Stadium.

You and your tunes.

... enjoy.

Link:  Pink Floyd: Us and Them

Us and Them

And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down

And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and Out

It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fighting’s all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

Dear Beverly

        You remembered me.

Always.

Your boys won last night 3 – 2,

but there was a brawl on the diamond.

One of your ace pitchers, Zack Greinke,

hit Carlos Quentin with a pitch,

when the dust settle your boy

had a broken collar bone. 

I’m sure you are kicking

clouds around over that one.

Have a tune for you today … enjoy.

 

Link:  Desert Rose Band: One Step Forward

You held me up, held me down

Made me crazy, then you brought me around

Were my darkness and my light

You were my blindness and my sight

Were my shelter and my storm

Made me cold then you made me warm

You were my fever and my cure

Made me doubt then you made me sure

One step forward and two steps back

Nobody gets too far like that

One step forward and two steps back

This kind of dance can never last

You were my hope and my fears

You were my laughter and my tears

Were my destiny and my fate

Kept me movin', you made me wait

Were my weakness and my power

You were the thorn and the flower

You were my sunshine and the rain

Made me feel so good, brought so much pain

Now one step forward and two steps back

Nobody gets too far like that

One step forward and two steps back

This kind of dance can never last

And we were never really meant for each other

We were never really meant to last

In the years that we danced together

Each step forward we took two steps back

Each step forward we took two steps back

Now one step forward and two steps back

Nobody gets too far like that

One step forward and two steps back

This kind of dance can never last

One step forward and two steps back

Nobody gets too far like that

One step forward and two steps back

This kind of dance can never last
