Happy Father’s Day. I wanted to begin today by saying what a
great honor it is for me to have the opportunity to entertain you and interact
with you every day. It is a privilege and I take it very seriously. I must.
Otherwise, I would have stopped banging out these here vids some months ago. I
awoke this morning to some very kind words from an old friend E, Eric Dawson.
Both names are his. So is Duke Tomorrow, I believe. Regardless, I am not doing
this for money, so the valuable feedback I get is my return on my investment.
It means a lot. It feels great and I know it’s always genuine, because who
would bother lying about something like this? No one. It’s nice when your world
is simple enough that you can be genuine and maintain a reasonable expectation
that the folks you’re interacting with are genuine too. It is a great relief.
It is the type of dependence you can have on a tree to hold you up, or the sun
to rise, or the ocean to make sure those waves keep on coming. It is nature. It
is natural and it is the living, breathing example of how we’re supposed to act
in this life. Every day.
So today, I rummaged around trying to find the perfect place
for our daily connection. Let’s see how that turned out. Shall we?

I’ve been reminiscing this weekend about our majestic Hawaiian
honeymoon in August 2014. It was a week like no other. Kauai is a wonderland I’ll
love forever. Some dear friends are there on a honeymoon of their own right now
visiting with some other dear friends, who straight up moved there cause it’s so
awesome. I sense that may become a recurring theme as times moves forward. Can’t
blame anyone for moving there.
On our trip, we were mostly consumed with each other and
enjoying ourselves. Robin Williams tried to blow a chunk in our paradise with
his untimely suicide. Come on, Mork. The only thing other element of the
outside world that really penetrated our newlywed bliss was this “Bob Ross Remix,”
courtesy of PBS. We cranked this video over and over again and loved it. I
think my wife still claims this is her favorite song. I was so emotional and happy
that week, I probably cried when I watched it once or twice, cause it’s just
that moving and beautiful. Here’s a link to that vid.

And here’s my cover of it. The first ever of it’s kind? I don’t
know. I don’t care. I do things first ever, for instance this 365 and the last
one. 24 Hours of Free music four times. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. You
really have to bust your hump or come up with some truly absurd ideas to go
where no one’s ever gone before these days. Heck. Someone’s got to do it. May
as well be me.

"Hawaii Adventure" by Jefferson Jay
I was extremely
inspired on our Hawaiian Honeymoon to Kauai in 2014. I was writing island-y
tunes on a daily basis. Love will do that to ya. This one I wrote with my wife,
I guess. She rarely wants credit for things of this nature. We were walking and
singing this tune, making it up as we went along. Later, I figured out all the chords
and wrote all the words down and here we are, years later, trying to power
through this number propped up on a tree. Thanks Tree. Thanks Everybody. We are
all one and that means we are all vital cogs in the wonderful world that we
share each day. It’s just about learning how to contribute to the glory that is
love and life.
