    Great words here and on my page. Happy to hear about your studio project. My power trio core of a 5 piece band, all friends, are getting very serious about backing my demo projects this Fall. (Real sounds!!)

    Hard to get yuppies together for studio work, but since I am writing much more rock these days, they are looking forward to getting on board.

    Then I will be able to go to Nashville and pitch my wares, and if this STILL never happens, a small upcoming windfall will be spent in the $1000s for the same end~~it's just that Dave, Mark, and Scott have known me and my changes (not ALL emotional) for 10 years.

    As luck would have it, here is "What I Signed on For," my feelings about Afghanistan.

    Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900.

    As I Ponder’d in Silence



    1

    AS I ponder’d in silence,
    Returning upon my poems, considering, lingering long,
    A Phantom arose before me, with distrustful aspect,
    Terrible in beauty, age, and power,
    The genius of poets of old lands, 5
    As to me directing like flame its eyes,
    With finger pointing to many immortal songs,
    And menacing voice, What singest thou? it said;
    Know’st thou not, there is but one theme for ever-enduring bards?
    And that is the theme of War, the fortune of battles, 10
    The making of perfect soldiers?

    2

    Be it so, then I answer’d,
    I too, haughty Shade, also sing war—and a longer and greater one than any,
    Waged in my book with varying fortune—with flight, advance, and retreat—Victory deferr’d and wavering,
    (Yet, methinks, certain, or as good as certain, at the last,)—The field the world; 15
    For life and death—for the Body, and for the eternal Soul,
    Lo! too am come, chanting the chant of battles,
    I, above all, promote brave soldiers.

    1

    BEAT! beat! drums!—Blow! bugles! blow!
    Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force,
    Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation;
    Into the school where the scholar is studying;
    Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride;
    Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, plowing his field or gathering his grain;
    So fierce you whirr and pound, you drums—so shrill you bugles blow.

    2

    Beat! beat! drums!—Blow! bugles! blow!
    Over the traffic of cities—over the rumble of wheels in the streets:
    Are beds prepared for sleepers at night in the houses? No sleepers must sleep in those beds;
    No bargainers’ bargains by day—no brokers or speculators—Would they continue?
    Would the talkers be talking? would the singer attempt to sing?
    Would the lawyer rise in the court to state his case before the judge?
    Then rattle quicker, heavier drums—you bugles wilder blow.

    3

    Beat! beat! drums!—Blow! bugles! blow!
    Make no parley—stop for no expostulation;
    Mind not the timid—mind not the weeper or prayer;
    Mind not the old man beseeching the young man;
    Let not the child’s voice be heard, nor the mother’s entreaties;
    Make even the trestles to shake the dead, where they lie awaiting the hearses,
    So strong you thump, O terrible drums—so loud you bugles blow

    No. Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.

    Great to hear from you. The humor content has been sorely lacking the past 3 weeks.

    Hope all is cool. I am getting familiarized with the new SG, and learning the prerequisite amp sounds.

    Leave of absence or leave of abstinence?
