Dusty Springfield was born as Mary O'Brien in London on this day in 1939. Thanks to Route for the reminder
Some fun fashion for one of my favorite songs I have written. It’s on my new album. ❤️❤️❤️ I would to make some of these fashions some day.[Verse 1]I’m unraveling the thoughts from a dream I forgotTying my spirit in a delicate knot.The wallpaper peels in a floral decayI’m finding the colors the sun threw away.I am a liquid form in a world made of stoneI melt at harsh words to which I am prone[Chorus]Oh, let the rhythm be wide and the logic be thinI’m living in the spaces where the secrets begin.It’s a quiet rebellion, a soft kind of warTo be something the world hasn’t tasted before.There is a fire in the fold, a grace in the strangeI am the ink on the page that refuses to change.[Verse 2]My heart beat’s a pulse that I wear on my sleeveI only tell stories that I want to believe.I’m a bird made of paper, a boat made of breathI’m dancing on the edge of a beautiful depth.Don’t ask for the sun, don’t ask for the shoreI’ve opened a lock on an invisible door.[Chorus]Oh, let the rhythm be wide and the logic be thinI’m living in the spaces where the secrets begin.It’s a quiet rebellion, a soft kind of warTo be something the world hasn’t tasted before.There is a fire in the fold, a grace in the strangeI am the ink on the page that refuses to change.

I originally posted this video last year as a short but made a full version as the song just went up on streaming. There are some original clips but I made some new clips to make it into horizontal format. I have always loved this one. It makes me happy. Maybe it will make you want to dance too :-)I Just Wanna Be A Dancer[Verse]I never found a reasonWhy I had to learn to danceMy feet and music found each otherWe knew it at first glanceFrom the moment I could walkMy feet just up and ranWhen I hear a songI see a floorMy feet just understand[Prechorus]Dancing in the streetOr in a subway carI love the beatAnd moving in the dark[Chorus]It don’t make senseBut I love itI just wanna be a dancerI just wanna be a dancerI just wanna be a dancer[Verse 2]The mirror and my feetThey move in synchronyAnd when they touch the floorThe ceiling disappearsI’m floating in the airThe rhythm lifts me higherWhen I close my eyesI could swear I’m on a wire[Prechorus]And if you see meDancing in a storeJust let me beAnd let my feet explore[Chorus]It don’t make senseBut I love itI just wanna be a dancerI just wanna be a dancerI just wanna be a dancerLyrics written by me, Kelly Boesch.
Rock Me Mama, by the immortal John Lee Hooker (1952). "Yet another tune that makes me question why “they” give the birthdate of rock ‘n’ roll as 1955.” says . . . .

Dylan says: “Ten Dollar Man” from ZZ Top’s Tejas album is such a filthy yet underrated song! It’s been a favorite of mine ever since my good friend and bandmate who’s no longer with us, @dentonelkins, showed it to me in between sets during a gig at a random pizza place in Jacksonville, sometime around 2018-2019. I distinctly remember him pointing out how nasty that little snare-pop transition into the guitar solo is. Makes me think of him every time I hear it, miss you Denton!Tuning: Standard Gear: @muleresonatorguitars Mulecaster hollow steel-body tele @therockslide Dylan Adams Signature Slide @daddarioandco XS 11-49 strings @uaudio ‘55 Tweed Deluxe plugin (plugged straight in and set the amp sim so the amp is cranked, no pedals)
Kostas does his usual tribute again to a band I hadn’t heard of but the terrifyingly sad story of their lead singer's untimely demise is worth checking out and lest we forget a unique voice of punk
A.J.Lee and the boys test out new microphones! . . . and a phone app!!!
Universally respected and in demand as a piano player, Hopkins developed a junk and alcohol dependence in an attempt to self medicate to battle life long Crohn’s disease; his habit early on meant he never really quite managed to live up to expectations despite seeking help from the scientologist’s Narconon programme in the 1980s which he claimed got him clean and sober and he spent the rest of his life in America a devotee of the quasi-scientific cult of the rich and famous . . . . a tragic loss to the world of music aged only 50 largely from the effects around Crohns and his previous attempts to self medicate
