Listen....This One's Close To My Hea.....ah..Crippled Legs


----------------
Parden me...if I'm a little preachy here. Jan Oh...You can turn off/on the music on this site at the bottom of the page...to listen to the video.
----------------
Laura posted a very powerful song on FACEBOOK. 'JUST SAY NO, TO GMO's....Above. It touched me deeply. First, let me say...there are many reasons why I created M.S. in my life and you created what you've got. I take responsibility for ALL my life, because then 'I' can change it. I'm exploring my dis-eased [no harmony] attitudes one by one and dealing with them. But, there's more......
Let's say, one thing's for sure, over the years...I was exposed to many 'unhealthy' FOODS, and CHEMICALS...And with my chronic un-harmonious thought patterns too. Well.... now, I'm learning and, it's  more difficult to change when my body hurts, is very tired or can't move. and my body, may still have the poisons in it. The more and more I look.. there's a good chance...I was poisoned by the foods I decided to eat when I was younger. Don't let this happen to you or your loved ones. That's why I'm writing this. This is my wisdom...my learning.
It started when I was diagnoised with ANOXIA NERVOSA in 1994. I was a long-distance runner that learned that if I didn't eat and ran...I was thin..another word for accepted/beautiful/wanted. AND, I loved food, as I do today..,being a foodie, collecting recipes and having dreams of food, is acceptable behavior for an anorex...I mean foodie, isn't it?
In 1994...I ran, was thin, accepted...and, I thought, happy. I drank diet sodas or coffee with nutrasweet constantly. Now, today we have learned that aspartame/nutrasweet can cause terrible problems in our bodies. It's poison.
GMO products just sound a lot like more of the same to me. Profits and greed coming before health and life. Let's say 'NO!' Do you really trust these guys with your precious life?
I was later in 1999, diagnoised with M.S. when my symtoms became very severe. I was unble to walk or see within a week of noticing a real problem. Remember, Doctors don't know what causes M.S.....my idea, maybe eating poison!
My first husband, was also exposed to Agent Orange while in Viet Nam. ANOTHER, terrible chemical/poison to our bodies. Many of the wives of these fellows had problems AND, their children too. Let me ask you again...do you really trust these greedy guys with your life? Poison is bad for you. My  first hubby, Ernesto, was put into a nursing home at age 47...unable to take care of himself or even know the kids or me.
 Read and buy [there's a link to Amazon] BRAIN FOG by Bruce Haney for more. He was an expert in poisons/chemicals and a musician too. He played the harmonica with Steve and I..
Listen to the song/video above.....I just don't trust these GMO guys...you? That's all. Jan Thanks for reading this.

Cool....Willie And Harry...Into the Grammy Hall Of Fame

I just read online, that Willie Nelson 77 and Harry Chapin are both being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame this year,they are joined by 30 other recording artists. That's just plain cool, isn't it? 'On The Road Again', written/recorded by Nelson over 30 years ago is being inducted. The song has already earned Willie a Grammy.
AND, Harry Chapin, one of my [Jan] favorite artists of long ago, is being honored for his beautiful, very meaningful song 'Cat's In The Cradle'. YAY!
Since 1973, over 900 recordings have been honored and recognized in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Willie Nelson has been honored three times before. This is the first time for Harry Chapin.
In previous years, other great musicians like...Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Jerry Lee Lewis., Marvin Gaye, Billy Joel have been honored.
The Grammy's are held on February 13th 2011. Jan

MERRY CHRISTMAS From Bartlett On Bass

Yep, Smokey Was First...I Heard This Through The Grapevine

Did you know the first recording of  'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' gos to SMOKEY  ROBENSON AND THE MIRACLES in 1966? Me neither. SMOKEY's still going stong today at 70 years old, by the way.
I always think of the Marvin Gay's 1988 version of 'Grapevine' when I think of this Motown hit of that same year. The song has been recorded many times, by many artists. It was, of course, also recorded in 1967 by GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS, and their version reached #1 on charts in November 1967. Some think that the best version too
MARVIN GAYE's  first number one recording was 'I heard It Through The Grapevine', outselling Knight’s version. Lottsa people, like me, think this is the biggest song to come out of Motown. I like it. You? That's all. Jan
----------------
For CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL's version.
------------------------
For JOHN FOGERTY  version. Thanks Jeff Wallace.

NEVERLAND...A Music School? Never Say Never.

I just read this music news today. NEVERLAND, Michael Jackson's Ranch in Santa Barbara, maybe turned ito a fine Music School. Hey, that's kinda cool. The school would be created to teach 'rich and poor teenagers' says 'Colony Capital', the owner the NEVERLAND Ranch right now. Go HERE  or HERE.
The music 'Institute' would be open to teenagers. Teaching them all aspects of music..including writing and performing.
OKs from Santa Barbara County and the Michael Jackson Estate are needed still. But, the Micheal Jackson Estate said 'it's an interesting idea'. Cool...So, how knows? Maybe  NEVERLAND... will always be home to great music and great performers. YAY. Jan

Wait For 'He' That Calls You Beautiful, Instead Of HOT

Came across this beautiful quote this morning on FACEBOOK. It describes my relationship with Steve. Love you Sweetheart. One of my favorite authors, GREGG BRADEN had it posted.
Thanks Gregg Braden
This quote, author unknown, applies to both men and women.“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the ...world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you. The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”
---------------------
Photo of Steve and I a few years ago. .....it's so great for somone to see the real 'me', not my body, not what I do for a living, not my so-called mistakes or sucesses, not what I can do for them or my income. Just plain Ol' ME.  Sigh...and I see the real HIM too...and it's all OK...Peace. Jan.

UPDATES: Here's The Latest

This UPDATE was written on 1/13/11, the date above was for publishing purposes only. Jan UPDATED below.. 1/19
-------------
Well, First, let me thank you for checking for Steve's upcoming events.
He has no gigs booked at this time...well, a gig for next summer in July, in Kent...but, that's a long way off. not really what you're looking for. is it?
So, what's happening?
Steve's waiting to finish up the WALTER's BIRTHDAY band CD. They need to add vocals and harmonies...the last part of the process of creating a CD. Cool. The Keyboard [JON BARONI] and guitar [TOD LEMKUHL] are finishing up their instramental parts now,  with st_robert is doing the recording. Drums [SCOTT ERCOLIANI] and bass [My BARTLETT ON BASS, of course. Jan] are finished for now and waiting for the next part.
Last night, 1/12/11, Steve got a call from his old friend, MIKE KARNES, up Gig Harbor way. Mike's organizing a 'workshop' for kids, teaching them guitar etc. Steve will be adding bass guitar instruction and examples for those lucky kids. There will be a drummer, showing his part and a fine vocalist too. Sounds fun. This is in the planning stages, when I know more I'll share.
I'm sure, Steve's getting 'itchy fingers'. He has such a great love for music, people have called him to jam etc. He'll be going out soon to, as he says 'make it happen.' 
I just love this guy. Jan
-------------------

Making A Buck Off The Dead...or...Recent Michael Jackson News

Found this very interesting article in the NYTIMES..'After Death: The Remix' this morning. Go HERE.
After reading this, I got to thinking, asking myself...'WOW!.... You know maybe  some musical artists are just worth more dead than alive. I also thought it's a shame, but humanity can be so needy. Why do they need to make a buck off the dead?
How can we replace anyone? There's only one Michael Jackson, John Lennon,  Jimi Hendrix or John Doe.'
And, then I remembered that a few years ago, I learned that the family of dead musical artist, Bob Marley, had started a family coffee business...they were using Bob Marley's name to sell their products.
I don't know the answer to these questions yet. I will ponder them though....
How can we judge anyone? I am thinking now, that the family and/or business associates of the 'STARS' really do become very dependent on the dead artist. They forget to develope themselves too. They are trapped by their worshiping of the musical artist and counting on them always being there to take care of them.
Isn't that just like all of us who are taught to depend on our husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, jobs, banks, electricity, the rules, religion, governments, etc. and more etc. to make everything just right?
Just wondering? That is all. Jan

Adversity As Blessings. Let's Count Our Blessings......Shall We?

I was thinking about my life...what is it that I'm really thankful for? This may surprise you, but some of my greatest adversities have been my greatest teachers. I am so thankful for them all. I would not have missed them or any physical life, even though when going through them, I wasn't so sure. Here's a list of some of my most treasured learnings. I'll start with the most recent first. OK?
1. From WALTER's BIRTHDAY...I love that band that my hubby plays in. The guys are my true friends....and, I've known them for many years. I can trust that we can speak our truth without fear about being rejected. So, I learned acceptance...the understanding that everyone's different and allowed their truth. That's allowing or love. That it's not needed for everyone to think the same. Thank you WALTER's BIRTHDAY. I love you all very much.
2. From M.S.....that life is precious and worth it...even, if it's limited physically, or I'm misunderstood or isolated. I have learned to be by myself. To count on myself, to know who I am. That, I'm not the body or the personality or the programing of my brain...and neither are you. I'm a sovereign being and the hero in my world. I responsible for it all....my whole life. Thank you M.S. What a valued lesson.
3.From Close Family and Friends....I'm never going to be what you want and you will never be me either...AND, that's the way it's suppose to be.. Acceptance of our differences is the way to be. I'm now catching myself more and more when I'm being 'my old thinking'. You know, the beliefs we were taught as children...those, we accepted as totally as THE TRUTH. That this color of person was this, that sex of person was that, that age meant so-and-so. I am more open-minded now. It's getting easier and easier to pause and really decide if that idea is really so, or even helpful to my life now, or is just an very old opinion of my parents, family or society that is no longer useful. Please, forgive me if I forget sometimes.... I do examine my actions and beliefs, change and evolve. I take time daily to do just that. Thank you FRIENDS and FAMILY. God Bless you.
4. From my LIFE EXPERIENCES so far....mixed racial marriage, living outside the U.S.A., being homeless, getting a divorce, having a child die, being rejected by immediate family members, loving someone dearly who didn't love me...and that was ok, not being respected and/or not respecting others, learning where I end and you begin, choosing an unpopular spiritual view, have homosexial friends and close family members, being married more than once, living with a so-called incurable disease, having a parent die, having a close family member violently attacted and injured by respected authorities, having to stand up and speak out for what was the noble virtues of life all alone, being ignored when needing help, being old, being different physically, being poor, being wealthy, understasnding the confusion, stigma and
cruelty of mental illness and suicide of a family member. AND, There are even more.......'goodies'. I bless them all, all my life experiences...Thank you Life. Jan

Bob Dylan...'Isn't It Time To Hang Up Your Harmonica?'...Jan's Opinion

Well, I just got done reading..."Wall Street Jounal To Bob Dylan...Isn't It Time To Hang Up Your Harmonica?" by LA TIMES writer, Patrick Goldstein
Go HERE.  A very interesting read, by the way.
I [Jan] just have to put my two cents in....being the BIG Bob Dylan fan, that I am.
First, Mr. Goldstein brought up some very good  points, and when he said, "Dylan lives to confound his fans". Next: Jan's opinion...'yes he does AND he's suppose to sound like that...after all, he's Bob Dylan, ain't he? And, what's the matter with being 69 years old...anyway? Who says 'Being Old And Being Cool Don't Mix ?...Bob Dylan Will Always Be Cool. I agree with everything that Patrick Goldstein says too.' That is all... end of lecture. Thank you. Jan.
