Operation 365... Blog 351

Operation 365 - Jefferson Jay - Archives - 357 Jefferson Jay "Times Divine" 2-19-09

"Times Divine" is a song about how every moment we have is everything we've got. People waste time. Wasting time is wasting life. Most agree life has value, lots and lots of value. Like the most value. For this version I was joined my flutist Maciej Swiatcz and The Soul Man on guiro. Whenever we would play this song, I would always think of Soul Man, him being in his 90s at all. I always tried to appreciate every time I played with im, never knowing if it might be the last time. I think approaching everything like that is a healthy way to live.

The "Gift To Be Alive" CD version of "Times Divine" can be heard here.

Operation 365 - Jefferson Jay - Covers - 357 "With a Gun" by Steely Dan

In honor of Day 357 on the Operation 365, I decided to play a song about a gun. I don't shoot guns, but I can see why there'd be a point to having one. Don't need to know to much about guns to know about a .357 Magnum, no ya don't.

So I like Steely Dan a lot. Glad to get another Dan tune in the 365. I'm not sure who write "With a Gun" but I would imagine it was Donald Fagen. I looked it up on wikipedia, but got no answer. Yeah, all Steely Dan's albums rock. Kip Forde appears on hanging out here.

This version of "Times Divine, track 6 off my new CD, "Gift To Be Alive," was recorded all the way back in 2008, December 28th, in fact. It was the end of a fine year. I gave a big shoutout speech to the The Soul Man, before this tune. Wes Davis and Blowksi on the hanging with me on stage.

Here's wishing everybody in the whole wide world the best.
