A few years ago, I wrote a nice song called "The Golden
Rule." Then I got asked to direct a play on work for the People First
Conference and I threw this song in it. They made a big Golden Rule banner. The
special folks danced around and sang it. They liked the tune it was rewarding.
Ever since then, I’ve thought of them whenever I play it. I knew I’d share it
somewhere here in 365 2. I did not know it would be today. I smiled when I
played ‘cause it felt good. That’s what it’s all about.
Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay - Words – 173 “Splits”
There’s all kinds of splits; demographics, election stuff,
baseball analytic minutia. Today, in the wake of my "Golden Rule" song, a friend
and I discuss “Splits” and some of the types of splits available in the world
today.
Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay - Covers - 173 "Eve of
Destruction" by Barry McGuire
I was thinking
of a special friend of mine. Her name is Eve. She’s one of the ones who was a
big proponent of “The Golden Rule” song. I was playing for her crew today and I
thought it would be cool to play a cover song with the word/name “Eve” in it.
Why not? I’ve 365 of these. You’ve got to get creative to keep it interesting.
Trust me. Then I forgot I thought that and played on. I recorded this tune. It
came out OK. It’s Day 173.
Then I remembered I had thought about “Eve” and was reminded
once more that everything happens for a reason, even the stuff that happens for
a reason just so we’ll remember everything happens for a reason. Faith Hope
Love. Love.
I hope it’s not the "Eve of Destruction." That’s
where the faith comes in. I believe. In any case, though, I’ll dedicate today’s
365 to the folks who senselessly lost their lives in Orlando last weekend. Peace.
