Another try, Another cry

Or is this post a time robbing crime?

Today kicks off another season for excitement, frustration, unhealthy snacks and ROLL TIDE FOOTBALL !!!

Here we go Willie! Another year of high hopes, spilt tears and a championship up for grabs, good luck.

This is tough. I have many years I would want to relive so I could make the changes that affect the present but there is a haunting thought in the dark recess of my mind telling me this is the major one. With that said I guess today’s answer would be 1982. This is the year I got married, and started my over the road career in earnest. I won’t go into detail but there it is.

Your three words today are:
GIST
GRIP

For September, we have chosen the colour Lilac.

SC   ✅
This weekend your challenge is to write a poem or a piece of prose in exactly 90 words using the word “Trade”.

In the gist of life’s journey I often gripe about the present affairs

I stopped to smell a lilac today and it flooded my memories, taking me back to a time in life where I had nothing to gripe about. The purple flower was a symbol of love and beauty that my mother told me was the gist of life. I was maybe five or six at the time and I wouldn’t trade that memory for anything this world has to offer in these modern times. Memories like these grip my heart strings and gently tug at them bringing tears to my eyes.

Hi Mastodon,

I’d like to reintroduce myself and introduce my album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy”.

I write songs and over the past 6 years roughly, I’ve collected 10 from about 100 to be recorded, mixed and mastered. As of today, those 10 songs are available to listen to at bandcamp as the album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy” (https://alastairleonard.bandcamp.com/album/a-cufflink-wearing-guy)

There are songs about fleeting marketplace romances (Sunflowers), and going in search of your life’s purpose (Desert Rose). There are other songs about taking the easy road and waking up late (Mid-Morning Guy) and the housing crisis in Australia (Yoshino Removals). There are even more songs — about bad haircuts (West Coast Haircut) and the disappearance of the bees (Honey Bee). The title track follows a pair of cufflinks given to me as a young man and their trajectory through the following decades. All the lyrics are up there so you can read along while listening if that’s your preference.

The music is roughly what I’d call indie-pop including jangly guitars numbers and piano ballads but there are forays into country twang, latin percussion, and doof. Some of my influences include #jeffreylewis #bjork #davidberman #cassandrajenkins #dangelo #leonardcohen #hopesandovalandthewarminventions #lucindawilliams #jenslekman #jonathanrichman #ninasimone #arethafranklin #pixies #thecure #thefieldmice #thesundays #thelemonheads #themagneticfields #tmbg #thegobetweens #motown

Attention is a commodity these days and I don’t expect too many people will hear the record; but if you do feel inclined to listen and can find a moment, I hope you find something joyful in these songs. Creating A Cufflink-Wearing Guy has been a labour of love. Mostly love, a little labour. Until next time, keep looking on the bright side. Thanks for reading. AL

"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a song written by #BennieBenjamin, #HoraceOtt and #SolMarcus for American singer-songwriter and pianist #NinaSimone, who recorded the first version in 1964 for her album #BroadwayBluesBallads. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" has been covered by many artists. Two of the covers were transatlantic hits, the first in 1965 by #theAnimals on their album #AnimalTracks, which was a #bluesRock version;.

#Love #NinaSimone

I wish I could share all the love that's in my #heart
Remove all the bars that keep us #apart
I wish you could know what it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That every man should be #free

❤️
