I wrote this to honor my grandfather, Herb himes.
A man, who lived on Midwood St, returned from his tavern one night, alight with spirit.
His footpath, clearly light, was infiltrated by a shining black cockroach.
The man, undeterred, stooped to the insect and implored,
"Cockroach! Why are you here, cockroach!"
The arthropod stopped, stared at the man and proclaimed,
"Why, I am here to...

thanks for the set love 
So quick update. I'm in the middle of recording my first solo effort. Which will likely turn into a band and such.
During the instrument tracking last week, I lost a song - or rather the schedule did not allow me to record it. It was prioritized last and, well, it got dropped. and in retrospect - it's not a great fit for this album...

Not my cup of tea, but well done and very chill.

sometimes i wish I could collapse into myself. entropic existential exhaustion.
so yes - I met a girl in a bar - totally and absolutely happenstance - months ago.
and we grew a shining to one another.
BUT - like most buts - it ended.
after three weeks i got closure with her tonight.
she told me, in confidence, that I was a fantastic guy...

hedy:
'grew a shining to one another' sounds like a potentially bad thing...or a beautiful thing. i'm not sure which.
himes:
Well I think the idea is that we grew more attentive to one another and through that attentiveness, through that "shining" we discovered more of what we wanted individually.
the outcome: I know in my heart that monogamous emotional/intimate relaitonships are what I want. And while she share a similar view - she ended up not feeling that the monogamy existed in ours.
"you are a great guy, I just do not want a relationship with you, I do not want to date you."
I'm duely impressed because that is wonderfully honest. i cannot fault her in that approach.
All I could do is spend sometime inside - contemplate why I feel the way I do, find a little peace, and move on.
in a sense - that all we can do as a species "contemplate why I feel the way I do, find a little peace, and move on" WITH a healthy dose of "Learn from your mistakes."

Very impressive 
You are too talented, pass on the excessive talent to me won't you?
I didn't get checked out but the only mobility issues I have now is being without Lilly As for my friend starting fu I have been nagging him for several years already, maybe this will give him the push he needs to start it then one good thing will come out of the whole experience at least

I decided a final song list for my first solo effort. Just listened to the album flow via demos - and it gels!
I feel electrified because of all the energy that I've put into these songs - but now the job is doing them justice.
Production.
I'll be producing TOTALLY - recording and mixing.
AND I want to have the thing...
