headache relief, no more excuses dear.

Sparky — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:43:38 GMT

Sex your headaches away Looking for a natural way to kill that piercing migraine? A recent study involving 84 women shows that there's a natural cure for headache sufferers, and it's roughly effective as taking today's leading medications -- sex. This may come as bad news for those of you who like to use headaches as an excuse to avoid a roll in the hay, but 61% of women in the study reported some kind of relief -- compared to 60-80% reporting the same relief with the latest migraine drugs.

not tonight

Sparky — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 12:27:39 GMT

Do me wrong, do me right. Tell me lies but hold me tight. Save your good-byes for the morning light, but don't let me be lonely tonight. Say goodbye and say hello. Sure enough good to see you, but it's time to go. Don't say yes but please don't say no, I don't want to be lonely tonight. Go away then, damn you, go on and do as you please, You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees. I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided, you've been turning my world upside down. Do me wrong, do me right, right now, baby. Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight. Save your good-byes for the morning light, morning light, but don't let me be lonely tonight. I don't want to be lonely tonight, no, no, I don't want to be lonely tonight. I don't want to be lonely tonight. "Don't Let ME Be Lonely Tonight" James Taylor

Miss Love

Subdudes - Miss Love Miss Love, where are you tonight? A long way from my sight And I miss love tonight Tossin’, turning in my room Hopin’ I will see her soon Warm arms and a tender caring smile In your arms I could be, but that’s not so So I miss love tonight Wishing hoping for your touch Could it be I ask too much? Miss Love, I do miss love, Wonder am I worthy of This love I do miss love Miss love I hope you do too Caring words, rolling off your tongue I watch your sweet lips as each sound takes me on a trip Thinking back to what you said I need to hear your voice again Back home, across the ocean wide Where I long to be, but that’s not so So I miss love tonight Back across the ocean wide Is there some-one by your side? Miss Love, I do miss love, Wonder am I worthy of This love I do miss love Miss love I hope you do too I’m the one that wants you I’m the one that needs you I’m the one that wants you I’m the one that needs you Miss Love, where are you tonight? A long way from my sight And I miss love tonight Yes I miss love tonight I miss love tonight

Beautifully Broken

Gov't Mule - Beautifully Broken lyrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-Ke5IM6moc Mysterious blown in with the night all this beauty Captured in a frame Visibly shaken but never stirred drives them insane I see the way she plays her men and I know I've got to know her name She's so beautifully broken shaped by the wind Dangerously twisted Here I go again I see the way she casts her spell it's like drowning in moonlight Discards them when she's done they're lost in her twilight I watch her move from star to star and I wonder why, why it feels so right She's so beautifully broken you can barely see the flaw Especially from a distance which is always how I fall Why do I fall for the dangerous ones the ones that Never learned to let go And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her When she's already been so beautifully broken Why do I fall for the dangerous ones the ones that Don't know how to let go And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her When she's already been so Beautifully broken shaped by the wind Dangerously twisted Here I go again

Derek Trucks and his band.

Sparky — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:40:50 GMT

Here are three video clips of Derek Trucks and his band. You will see the depth of his talent and his mastery of the guitar. Eric Clapton personally called Derek and invited him to join his last tour. A true coming of age for a young guitar player. The Derek Trucks Band plays a broad spectrum of music ; blues, jazz, soul, multicultural influenced music and jams. His uncle, Butch Trucks, is one of the drummers in the Allman Brothers Band. Derek is the man with the blond hair accompanying Susan Tedeschi in another blog entry. Give them a listen and see what you think An interview tape and produced by Gibson Guitar Company http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XSpqh7xtro A video of Derek and Warren Haynes playing slide on acoustic guitars. If you are a traditional blues fan this will blow you away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UauECrCIYl8 "Joyful Noise" a multicultural influence jam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AkvIErWE8c

Susan Tedeschi Stand Back guys, she kicks ass!

Sparky — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 20:44:27 GMT

Here is a vid of Susan Tedeschi a competly fantastic performer. She is a talented guitar player singer, sexy, beautiful. She has the balls, excuse the expression, to wear a dress on stage most of the time. Susan is married to Derek Trucks but is an accomplished artist with or with out her husband. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjSXjpyiYKg

GOT MULE?

Sparky — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:29:12 GMT

For any that enjoy Rock with an edge I hope yall know Govt. Mule. Warren Haynes, lead guitar and singer is an amazing talent. Govt Mule is his band, he is one of the guitar players in The Allman Brothers Band, he plays with the remants of The Grateful Dead, known as "The Dead". He is known to play a set with The ABB, go back stage change shirts, come out and play a set with The Mule, and repeat untill he has played four sets in one night. Fans joke and say since James Brown died Warren is the hardest working man in show business. GOT MULE? Listen and learn. "Beautifully Broken" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-Ke5IM6moc Just maybe, my love life in song Great example of what Govt Mule is all about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twl8bINw6DY If this doesn't kick your ass, you may not have one.

This woman is amazing. I had no idea she had such a voice or talent. I saw her in a Herbie Hancock video with Jonny Lange singing blues. She needs to do lots more blues. I remembered seeing her at the Grammies a couple of years ago and being amazed, so this is a video of her at the Grammies singing "This Is A Man's World." Prepare to have your socks blown off. How can such a petite little lady have so much voice? Where does she hide it? http://whttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njph0QyXcKs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAPnw40j2-E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh_V1zLsj_4

The Road Goes on Forever, and The Party Never Ends

Sparky — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:52:02 GMT

Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around Down Main Street after midnight with a brand new pack of cigs A fresh one hangin' from her lips and a beer between her legs She'd ride down to the river and meet with all her friends The road goes on forever and the party never ends Sonny was a loner he was older than the rest He was going into the Navy but he couldn't pass the test So he hung around town he sold a little pot The law caught wind of Sonny and one day he got caught But he was back in business when they set him free again The road goes on forever and the party never ends Sonny's playin' 8-ball at the joint where Sherry works When some drunken outta towner put his hand up Sherry's skirt Sonny took his pool cue laid the drunk out on the floor Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar and walked on out the door She's runnin' right behind him reachin' for his hand The road goes on forever and the party never ends They jumped into his pickup Sonny jammed her down in gear Sonny looked at Sherry and said lets get on outta here The stars were high above them and the moon was in the east The sun was settin' on them when they reached Miami Beach They got a hotel by the water and a quart of Bombay gin The road goes on forever and the party never ends They soon ran out of money but Sonny knew a man Who knew some Cuban refugees that delt in contraband Sonny met the Cubans in a house just off the route With a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot The cards were on the table when the law came bustin' in The road goes on forever and the party never ends The Cubans grabbed the goodies and Sonny grabbed the Jack He broke a bathroom window and climbed on out the back Sherry drove the pickup through the alley on the side Where a lawman tackled Sonny and was reading him his rights She stepped into the alley with a single shot .410 The road goes on forever and the party never ends They left the lawman lyin' and they made their getaway They got back to the motel just before the break of day Sonny gave her all the money and he blew her a little kiss If they ask you how this happened say I forced you into this She watched him as his taillights disappeared around the bend The road goes on forever and the party never ends Its Main Street after midnight just like it was before 21 months later at the local grocery store Sherry buys a paper and a cold 6-pack of beer The headlines read that Sonny is goin' to the chair She pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes Benz The road goes on forever and the party never ends Keen Robert Earl "The Party Never Ends"

The Allman Brothers Band THE GREAT American Rock Band This is old with Richard Betts and Allen Woody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMAHQAtUB58 Newer with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks (on the left) on guitar, two of the very best blues/rock guitar players ever. and Jaimo on bass (on the far right) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3ScV6NZo1c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpFeIT-u8us I suggest "Hittin' The Note", "Second Set" or "One Way Out" for starters. "Live At the Fillmore East" can't be beat. My favorite songs are; #1 "One Way Out" all time favorite Desdamona, Starts out a ballad then.. moves seamlessly to a jazz, rock, blues instrumental, then back to a ballad. I love the ABB for thier ability to do that. Key change, tempo change, style change, beat change, rthym change all done perfectly on cue.

Be good to your daughters

JOHN MAYER LYRICS "Daughters" I know a girl She puts the color inside of my world But she's just like a maze Where all of the walls all continually change And I've done all I can To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands Now I'm starting to see Maybe it's got nothing to do with me Fathers, be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers, be good to your daughters too Oh, you see that skin? It's the same she's been standing in Since the day she saw him walking away Now she's left Cleaning up the mess he made So fathers, be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers, be good to your daughters too Boys, you can break You'll find out how much they can take Boys will be strong And boys soldier on But boys would be gone without the warmth from A womans good, good heart On behalf of every man Looking out for every girl You are the god and the weight of her world So fathers, be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Flag

Sparky — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 21:53:39 GMT

The Flag of Leo is a rich orange. It is a color which stimulates and strengthens, filled with force and health. It gives the impression of a constant flow of energy. Orange is the hottest, widest and most pleasant and positive of colors. It reflects the balance of will and possibility. It denotes consciousness, ripeness, abundance, happiness and sexuality. It ensures, supports, and evokes appetite. It awakes, but does not excite, and tends to embrace space. Orange corresponds to the form of the wide rhombus that joins the diversity of yellow and the strength of red.

Fifth Deminsion

Sparky — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 19:20:29 GMT

Oh, how is it that I could come out to HERE, And be still floating, And never hit bottom but keep fallin' through, Just relaxed and paying attention? All my two-dimensional boundaries are gone, I have lost to them badly, I saw that world Crumbling, I thought I was dead, But I found my senses still working. And as I continued to drop through the hole, I found all surrounding, To show me that joy innocently is, Just be quiet and feel it around you. And I opened my heart to the whole universe, And I found it was loving, And I saw the great blunder my teachers had made, Scientific delirium madness. I will keep falling as long as I live, Ah, without ending, And I will remember the place that is now, That has ended before the beginning Jim McGuinn The Byrds

My Back Pages

Sparky — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 18:18:52 GMT

Crimson flames tied through my years Rollin' high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps "We'll meet on edges, soon," said I Proud 'neath heated brow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Half-right prejudice leaped forth "Rip down all hate," I screamed Lies that life is black and white Spoke from my skull. I dreamed Romantic flanks of musketeers Foundationed deep, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not that I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach My pathway led by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now Bob Dylan best heard preformed by: The Byrds
