Shout out to Mary Ann. She got busted for weed in the Mid-West. Never a great place for that kinda nonsense. Her friend’s really should have made sure she got home okay. It was a surprise birthday party, for Pete’s sake. Whoever Pete is. Does that refer to Saint Pete? Probably. It’s always some higher-ups sake that we’re all swearing on. I will make a declaration that I have made before, but as long as man makes plants illegal we will for that time be at odds with Nature, who will in turn continue to punish us for our idiocy. So hail to Mary Ann, Mother Mary and Mary Jane. Sorry you got in trouble, but that was a pretty picture for pushing 70. Just like my boyhood dreams would have imagined. I’d love to hang out with you and Willie sometime. I could learn a lesson or two from my elders. It is the season of change. My green energy is increasing. The household has been avoiding refined sugars, animal products, synthetics, fake fats, and have been concentrating on eating fruits and vegetables. We have been at it for a week and a half. We’ve also been going to yoga once a week for the last few. It had been way to long for regular practice and it’s nice getting back into the flow. OOLYAKOO has been playing regularly and we have 5 gigs set up at 4 different venues in the next couple of months. There’s link to our space in Links* with dates and places. We’re also discussing starting the next rounds of recording in mid-April. I’ve been increasing my practice of yogic singing, which was taught to me by my djembe master years ago. The practice involves holding a low frequency until your energy and body begin to vibrate at that frequency. In time a new voice should be heard,.. not the one out of your mouth or the one you hear in your head, but one from a deeper place within you.. your core. This voice is your true voice. When it is present you experience the alignment of your vibration (frequency) and the voice begins to sing as you let go control of your vocals chords and emits out of you. Many can see their voice emanating from within with practice. It has to do with settling brain sand and the tuning of your cells. It’s what those monks do.
