Sometimes I feel there aren’t enough songs. It is a
byproduct of a cover a day every day for year, twice. I don’t mind.
Everything’s a choice. It’s what makes days like today more interesting, when
it feels like there are too many perfect songs. How do you choose just one?
Someone long ago said, “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” I didn’t
really understand what that meant until recently. Bush guy spends a lot more
days birdless. Time is like a bird. If it’s in a bush, it’s not your really,
but if it’s in your hand. It’s precious. The point is…
So, I’ve recorded a bunch of tunes. There are a million ways
I could tribute my wife on our second anniversary. So many transcendent love
songs. Anyway, even though Madonna’s “Crazy For You,” is in the hopper, all but
ready to go, I’m staying with “Borderline,” because it’s bounced and done. My
wife’s birthday is in two days, so the celebrations keep coming and the quiet,
alone time is scarce. So “Borderline,” today, and make no mistake, she does
keep pushing my love over the “Borderline,” “Crazy For you,” That’s your
Madonna 365 update for a Tuesday. Glad that’s been cleared up.

So, today is my second anniversary. Is it odd that I still
can’t believe this is all real? Last year, we spent it celebrating in Atlantic
City. What’s more majestic than a New Jersey celebration? We’ll see. Ask me
later. So last year, I sat in the window of our hotel room late at night, and I
wrote Leanne this tune. Peace to everyone. Happy Anniversary to you, Leanne. I
love you.

“Anniversary Two” by Jefferson Jay
Surprise. I wasn’t crazy about the way the recordings of
“Anniversary One” came out, so here is one day earlier than I expected,
“Anniversary Two.” I improvised this but I was feeling the pretty chords and
the tune’s vibe. I hope you, the people of the world and Leanne, the wife of
me, love it. Happy anniversary!

Your Wife?”
I’m
proud to answer, "great." It ain’t easy, folks. You ever been married? But, that’s
what makes it all the more satisfying when things go well. You know you
accomplished something. The streets are littered with the skeletons of
marriages gone south. It can happen to the best of us. So when it doesn’t, we
must celebrate. Taking greatness for granted is way to miss out on life’s great
thrills. Nope, every day is full of challenges. Turning them to joy, each day we survive, much like the hokey
pokey prior, that, my friends, that’s what it’s all about.
