That's weird. The other day I was listening to a ton of Ozric Tentacles trying to find a song that was on a complication disc from like 1996. I forgot all about them until I filmed fireflies and the music synced up in my head. I remember when I first heard them. It was mind blowing next level shit.

An oldie, but very goodie: Frumpy, 1972

Hendrix Studio Version. Star Spangled Banner.

This video is a song I heard before I went to see the ENT doctor because I thought I had throat cancer and, as usual for me, the lyrics just about slapped me in the fucking face as I was listening. Coincidentally, maybe even synchronicitous, the composer/singer of this tune, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, is from the same small neighborhood I grew up in Louisville KY, the Highlands. It pretty much summarizes my philosophy on life and things I've tried to teach our kids, gkids, and ggkids: love, family, communication, independence, disappointment, preparation, perseverance, self-reliance, hard work, celebration… it’s all there. When my time comes, I have no doubt I'll be One With The Light.

But that time is not right now so I'll just... Be Here Now
