“Six” is my lucky number. Not really, but that’s the first
line of this tune. It just jumped into my head a couple of years back. My new
fiancee and I were about to leave the house to spend the night the
casino/hotel, a special occasion. I stopped and penned “Six” first. Later, we
stood near a Roulette table. Leanne put dough on six and she got paid.
Here, years later, my fiancée is my wife for two years. We
got together six years ago today. Another anniversary. A few months after we
got together, we got a pup, Nigel. He was about four months old and if we take
that back, that made him born just about today, six years ago, the same day
Leanne and I got together. So we made that his birthday. Pretty neat.
Six years. Amazing. Hope you dig this “Six” jam. Happy
Sunday.
Double feature with "Ground Reprise"
Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay - BONUS - 248 "Crazy
for You” by Madonna
Madonna’s songs back in the day were pretty neat. I have no
idea what her songs sound like now. I don’t know what almost anybody’s songs
sound like actually. So it’s nothing against Madonna. Think she considered
Happydonna as a cheery alter ego. I doubt it. It’s never too late to reinvent
yourself. Lord knows she knows that.
Back in the day, Madonna was busting out one sexy video
after another and getting the young fellas on the world, like myself into a
veritable tizzy. Those times were good, or at least, that’s how it feels in
retrospect. Memory is funny in that way. Who knows what really happened?
Well, I vaguely recall Madonna in a dark room in a tasteful
blue dress, singing this sweet love song. I guess “Crazy For You” is a sexy
song, but Madonna, in her day mastered the many faces of sexy.
Happy
six-year dating anniversary to my dear wife, Leanne aka, Leannta Claus, the
gift that keeps on giving. Happy sixth birthday to our boy, Nigel. I’m “Crazy
for You,” behbeh.
Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay - Words - 248 "The
‘Itis"
We all have on ‘itis or another from time to time. It could
be colitis, appendicitis, or arthritis. Hopefully, not meningitis. There are
all other kinds of ‘Itises than can affect us throughout the course of our
daily lives. Long ago, as I began my undergraduate life, a close friend who
went on to be famous human, Conor Grennan, told me of this band he’d see as an
undergrad at UVA. It was The Dave Mathews Band. It was startling to watch them
become world famous virtually seconds later. That’s Conor for you. I’d love to
read his autobiography. He’s probably writing it now.
Anyway, all these years later, his favorite band in college
is soon making it’s presence felt. Now, I’m not here to talk smack on any
musical humans, especially not on any as talented as the aforementioned DMB.
That being said, I’ve managed to miss all their concerts these last 20 years.
Fear not, my neighbor has cranked constantly. I hear them lots. I gave him a
couple of Jefferson Jay CDs and he cranks them from time to time. They usually
sound better than I remember, so that is nice.
Dave is fine. I wish him the best. But sometimes, my
neighbor has his ‘Itis. Dave Mathews Band-itis. And that’s contagious. And
sometimes. Especially when I go outside, it gets on me. All things considered,
as far as ‘Itises go, it’s relatively innocuous. But there is no vaccine. And
there is no cure. Whoa, Lovecats.
My wife adds, “itis” means inflammation. Sounds about right.
Thank you, honey. Happy six years. Love.
Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay - Covers - 248 “Shake It Off”
by Taylor Swift
I just realized as I was about to post it, that I did “Crazy
for You” 17 days ago. Doh! I better get crafty here quick...
And off he went, deep into the annals, in search of… Another
cover tune…
I found a couple. Hooray prepared!
I
heard a rumor Taylor wasn’t too keen on folks covering her jams. Hopefully, that
was groundless speculation and she’ll be stoked or indifferent. That Prince
fella made me take down my “Cream” vid five years back and that’s not a
circumstance I’m looking replicate. Dig? Without my beloved wife, I may not
know nay Taylor Swift songs at all. Because of her I know one. This one.
