Bruce’s piano, though. It fits nicely at the moment on deck.

It’s 40 this year and still as relevant as ever. With some really nice piano to boot.

there was no scaffold in place
or anyone to give me a hand up
so I made my own
& made sure every footing was sound, every handhold secure
as I lifted myself

Was in the grocery store earlier and this gem popped on the muzak system; hadn’t heard it in awhile. Some pretty piano from Bruce.

#TheWayItIsEverybody here's a number, not a name
But I guess it's all right with me
As I sit alone, after a long day
In the absence of companyWhoa, I let my mind wander
A thousand miles away hey heyWhat I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight
Someday when times weren't so tight -

The song topped the charts in the US, Canada and the Netherlands in 1986, and peaked inside the top twenty in such countries as Australia, Ireland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Written by Bruce Hornsby, it made explicit reference to the #EconomicOpportunityAct, also known as the 1964 Poverty Act.

Nearly 40 years old and every bit as relevant today, unfortunately.

#TheWayItIsStanding in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't find a job
A man in a silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
Just for fun he says, "Get a job"
That's just The Way It Is
Some things'll never change
That's just The Way It Is -

The song is every bit as relevant as it was when it showed up in ‘86. Then there’s Bruce’s piano work which is brilliant.

There's just some people who are better than people, and they don't need to obey laws or work or worry, and somehow we need these people to lead us and decide who dies first.
Because otherwise, we'd be on our own.

Mellowing it back down on deck - time for a little Hornsby piano.
