The Walk of Life! July 05, 2008

While I struggle to self-publish I have to pursue what the Dire Straits refer to as the Walk of Life. This week I was a team leader at the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) scoring exercise. Today, Saturday, I was painting scaffolds all day. These scaffolds will feature somewhere in some band’s concert soon. Meanwhile I just received a missive from Five Seventeen, my page layout genius about the Timeline in TRNT. Five doubles as editor and brings to my attention any problem he sees. Sometimes his email shakes me out of my doldrums….Caught Amy Winehouse in concert on TV: it was an impressive concert. She not a bad skanker: she looked and sounded good on Toots & the Maytals' “Monkey Man.” I was thinking about some of my favorite groups and artists and I figure I could categorize their oeuvre as ‘music for depressives.’ Leonard Cohen, Blood & Wine (‘Please Don’t Waste Me in The Ground’), Pink Floyd, The Cure and Coldplay to mention just the obvious and there is no blues on the list. I am not making a big deal about it.
