Operation 365 2... Blog 197

Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay - Covers - 197 "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie

For some reason, I was thinking of this classic a few days ago. I practiced it a couple times so I could rap for you. Hooray! I rap some, but I do not always rap. I save it for special occasions. In a way, that’s what makes them special, not dong it all the time.

So, here’s our special occasion, Day 197. Word up. Peace. Folks. All lives matter.

Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay - Originals - 197 “Times in Horse’s Lives” by Jefferson Jay

I was hanging with one of my main amigos awhile back, Mike Bumba. I recorded and produced a couple CDs of his original music. Very interesting stuff. I dig it. I had this idea that he could be the voice of a cool animated horse, or maybe even voice a Mr. Ed type situation. So I wrote this song, imagining his voice singing it. I’ve yet to have the chance to make that dream come to fruition, so for now, here we go. I’ll sing the horse song. This song is written from the perspective of your average, every day, happy horse.

Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay - Words – 197 “Something Deep to Say”

Searching for “Something Deep to Say,” I stumbled on a second song to share. Here. And now there. There are heavy goings-on in the world right now. Murders and such… Every human life is valuable.


I need rest though and couldn’t find anything more poignant to say than this. I think this video tells that story slightly. Maybe tomorrow… Thanks for watching. At least, it’s music. Music can soothe and heal and it is clear we need a lot of that right now.
