I have to say

This has been a pretty good day, the first good one since Thursday, and I owe it all to that dream I had. I had written Barry to let him know that there may be a delay in getting the music up on his site due to my dad's death. He wrote back to tell me not to worry about the site. Despite my irrational terror of him, he's really a sweet soul. I think getting that letter yesterday and seeing a Gospel choir on "The King of Queens" is what prompted the dream. Whatever it was, the dream was an undeniable gift.

Aunt Tudi and I are about to go up to Janice's and Uncle Michael's for the Independence Day brouhaha. If they want me to do anything remotely "American" there's gonna be some hard feelings. Whoever thinks we're independent, especially after the "election" debacle of 2000, is living in a fantasy world. We're a freakin' dictatorship just going through the motions of being free. The only reason I'm participating in this holiday get-together is to try to get Aunt Tudi out of the house and get her mind off losing her brother and best friend. 'Nuff said.

When we get home, I'm going to try to get the ladies indoors tonight and keep them in for the night. They'll be terrified of the fireworks and I want to make certain they're safe. I wish I could bring all the cats in, but most of them wouldn't have it. They have shelter in my two out buildings, though, so I'm sure they'll be fine.

Bwaaaaahahahah!

While up here at the family's house, I'm taking advantage of their broadband and uploading the song samples for Barry's music page. Everything else will be downhill from here.

Each sample is 40 seconds long, long enough to give folks an idea of how cool BA is and it'll hopefully make them want to buy his discs to hear the entire songs. That's the idea, anyways.

It should be of note that the beginning of the typical Internet evil laughter, bwahahahahah, also happens to be B's initials. Coincidence? I think not.

The Contract Song

For anyone interested in the song that was the center of the dream I had last night, you can hear the sample of it here: The Contract Song.

Verily, it is just itching for a Gospel choir to invade it. He so needs to come over and do a church crawl.
