“I Blinked Then She Was Gone” – Guitar Zack – ©2011 ASCAP

“I Blinked Then She Was Gone”

Why were we all shot into this world?
Why do we depend on good referrals?
What’s the point in even having morals?
No one knows.
Is it really right to kill for food?
Is there such a thing as solitude?
Is it wrong to be in an angry mood?
No one knows.
Will there ever be a “World War Three”?
Will there ever be a world with peace?
Will I ever find my gottdamm keys?
No one knows.
Who’s the Architect of the Universe?
Who amongst my friends will be in a hearse first?
Is this really love or is this a curse?
No one knows.
But
She Said
I Know
And
I Said
Bull Shit
She Smiled
I Blinked
Then She
Was gone…
gonnnnneee…
gonnnnnnneeee…
gonnnnnnnnnneeeeee…
Why’s a magnet work the way it does?
Can there ever “is” if there never “was”?
Why do reefer sticks give us a buzzz?
No one knows.
What does Santa do when a fire’s lit?
How does anybody know when to quit?
Is there such a thing as an “Endless Pit”?
No one knows.
Will Time ever stop or always go?
Will I get to raise a son I’ll know?
Will I always have all ten my toe?
No one knows.
What’s a memory? -And what’s a thought?
Is it really wrong if we don’t get caught?
Why did a Beatle have to get shot?
No one knows.
But
She Said
I Know
And
I Said
Bull Shit
She Smiled
I Blinked
Then She
Was gone…
gonnnnneee…
gonnnnnnneeee…
gonnnnnnnnnneeeeee…

Wednesday NIGHT OPEN STAGE JAM SESSION Hosted by Yours Truly…

… along with Harry McCorkle on Bass and Vocals and left handed Drummer Smilin’ Dave! EVERY wednesday night’s at THE WAREHOUSE CAFE in Bethel Park on South Park Road from 9PM-1AM. We’ve been getting some solid players come through in the first few experimental weeks. Now it’s an official JAM session. If you bring your instrument and know how to throw down, or if you have a band and wanna try out some new material for a few tunes, you are more than welcome to get up and play! It’s free to get in- and I just had the Wednesday Night Taco Special deal last week, and I must say that I enjoyed them and will be getting them probably every week from now on. It’s a nice big room and has the potential to build a great musician community in the area. And guitar players, bring your amp if you want because I only bring one. So, how are we gonna trade ideas otherwise?! see you there! Tell your friends! IT’s FREE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!

WOW! I have to tell someone- but I gota…

…be careful or else I might mess things up for us. Ya US not just you or just me. I mean, I came up with an Idea that sounds farfetched and ego-topian, but further up the mountain, the slopier the slopian is gettin’ and I’m Bettin’ that you know what I’m talking about, but you don’t cause I’m absolutely certain that behind these time released curtains awaits a gift for you
ya you right out of the blue
it’s something new
and true
and if you only knew
you
would say
OOO (pronounced ewe)
and say It’s terrific…
to be continued
(real time beatnik poetry-
free to all who have ears andor eyes.
i no longer make typos
if i mispell something
i only spelled it as phenettically as possible
and it is the new accepted language of the comman man
why a new language?
because its a new atmosphere of the many mysteries of life to be explored

Good Morning Everyone!

I finally got my workshop to where its feeling like I can get some work done. It’s been awhile for me on this Internet beast, but blogging is kind of like riding a bike… The more you ride the less you walk.
