Hello, it's been a lazy Sunday. Those two Bloody Marys didn't help. One nap later, the sun is setting as I'm just awaking. I wrote "A Call To Action" on Christmas 2008. It is a song about people coming together and taking steps to make the our world better. I am proud that since I wrote it, many people have done just that. The Occupy Movement makes a statement that things are right and people need to do something about it. I agree strenuously

"A Call To Action" and all its brothers and sisters on my new CD "Gift To be Alive" can be had or heard here. Dig. This version was recorded on September 24, 2009.

Operation 365 - Jefferson Jay - Covers - 361 "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton

Struggled some to find a cover today but settled on the beautiful Eric Clapton song, "Wonderful Tonight." Considered a few Beatles tunes I realized I had already done. Tried "You'll Never Walk Alone" for a few... They weren't happening. I have a little list of cover tunes for the end of the 365, but they are hit and miss. Some are more difficult than I have time for.

Well, cheers to Eric Clapton, I feel a kindred spirithood with him. After his song died and he wrote "Tears in Heaven," I was deeply moved my the song. Shortly thereafter, when tragedy visited my own circle, I gained a whole 'nother level of appreciation for that song. We're gonna kep it light tonight though and stick with "Wonderful Tonight."

Loving shout-out to my special lady, Leanne Pearl. Leanne recommended I play "Let It Rain" for today, which sent me searching down this wonderful musical road.
