In Dreams

My grandmother LOVED this song. I remember her laying in bed with the record player spinning (she had a back injury) and this song playing.

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep. everything is all right.

(cue the fucking drums and rhythmn section)

I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayerlike dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.

In dreams I walk with you. in dreams I talk to you.
In dreams youre mine. all of the time were together
In dreams, in dreams.

But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.
I cant help it, I cant help it, if I cry.
I remember that you said goodbye.

Its too bad that all these things, can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams in beautiful dreams.

this one is for Shirley Zeski. Beloved mother, grandmother, teacher, school bus driver, and all around proper lady. I miss you every day.

Check the wild donkey photo. cool shit. I was looking into Antigua, where there are apparently tons of these creatures just roaming around doing donkey stuff. rad.

im going to the mastering session of the long awaited 7" split with Thad Sand`s One Man Band on wednesday. The art work is set and it fucking rules. Rock to it. "Changra La" is the track on the record where we colaborate w thad. Fuck yeah. 300 copies folks. get some. we dont have the capabilities to make more. This will be avail on the may tour im setting up. it will be something like: chi, minn, indy, cleveland, philly.

its a booking frenzy around here lately. feels good.

we are really into the cheeseburger stuff around the apartment here lately. if you have seen the show "super jail",(adult swim) they did the theme song. this pretty much sums up the vibe.

im feeling a little nervous about this blog lately. you have no idea how many things i have erased on this post alone. hope this will pass.
