Boundary line to music.

by

Music is basically melody, harmony, and rhythm. But people can do much more with music than that. It can be very descriptive in all kinds of ways, all walks of life. — Charlie Parker

They teach you there’s a ” Boundary line to Music “

But, man,

there’s ” No Boundary Line to Art “. — Charlie Parker

I’m happy, and I think being happy keeps you looking young.

I made an album of healing music called ‘Grace and Gratitude’ that came from my soul.

It feels really good to give back. I’m opening the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness Centre in Australia.

I love you
I honestly love you…. That it’s coming from my heart and not my head

Celebrate the Struggle

by

Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn’t mean he lacks vision. STEVIE WONDER

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it. STEVIE WONDER

I can’t say that I’m always writing in my head but I do spend a lot of time in my head writing or coming up with ideas.

And what I do usually is write the music and melody and then, you know, maybe the basic idea.

But when I feel that I don’t have a song or just say, God, please give me another song. And I just am quiet and it happens. STEVIE WONDER

Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle! STEVIE WONDER

STEVIE WONDER

Born May 13, 1950, in Saginaw, Michigan

In 1973 Wonder took home his first five GRAMMY Awards for Innervisions, which won Album Of The Year, along with additional GRAMMYs for “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life” (Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male) and “Superstition” (Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male and Best Rhythm & Blues Song).

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi surrounded by four walls that ain’t so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough just enough for the city yeah yeah yah

Love the Above song ……. Love all .

Music is my Expression

Remember: Always walk in the light. And if you feel like you’re not walking in it, go find it. Love the light. —Roberta Flack

That’s a wonderful thing, because one of the primary qualities of a good performance is Honesty. –Roberta Flack

Once you’re successful with a certain kind of music, it’s hard not to have faith in it as a means to stay successful. –Roberta Flack

As Musicians, and as people who sell material for people to hear and absorb, it’s important that We use that Voice Wisely. –Roberta Flack

‘My music is my expression of what I feel in a moment’ –Roberta Flack

Roberta Flack became the only artist ever to win the song of the year Grammy twice in a row, First Time

Ever I Saw Your Face, in 15TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS (1972)

and Killing Me Softly with His Song. in 16 TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS (1973 )

“It’s a tremendous and overwhelming honor,” She expressed for ” Academy’s lifetime achievement award “

On a Roberta Flack record, everything moves slowly. The beats tarry, encouraging the instruments to treat them with grace and the singer to savor every note. 

The first time, ever i saw your face , I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars , Were the gifts you gave ……… To the dark, and the endless skies …………..

Little Green Apples

by

In 1969, “Little Green Apples” won Grammy Awards for best overall song and top country song by Bobby Russell

I played ‘Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road’ by Loudon Wainwright III.

We played ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ by Cyndi Lauper; ‘I Like Big Butts’ by Sir Mix-a-Lot.

I think people are just trying to torture us.

Bobby Russell

We make a little money, enough to keep it going, but I’m glad it isn’t my only income.

Bobby Russell

We were going to stop last night, but we decided to keep going. I don’t know if we’ll get another $100,000 to meet the $150,000 level just from our listeners, but maybe this will spur on some business to give us $10,000, knowing that they’ll match it.

Bobby Russell

Bobby Russell ( 1941 – 1992 ) was an American singer and songwriter. Between 1966 and 1973, he charted five singles on the Hot Country Songs charts, including the crossover pop hit “Saturday Morning Confusion.

““Little Green Apples,” which Roger Miller recorded as a relaxed, simple country song with enough multi-genre appeal to cross over into the pop and easy-listening charts sold more than a million copies.

LITTLE GREEN APPLES LYRICS

Well I wake up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes and she says ‘hi’
Then I stumble to the breakfast table
Where the kids are going off to school, goodbye
Then she reaches out takes my hand and squeezes it
And says ‘how you feeling hon’
Then I look across the smiling lips
That warms my heart and see my morning sun

And if that’s not loving me all then all I’ve got to say
God didn’t make those little green apples
It don’t rain in Indianapolis in the summer time
And there’s no such thing as Dr. Seuss, or Disney Land
Or Mother Goose or nursery rhymes
God didn’t make those little green apples
It don’t rain in indianapolis in the summer time

And when myself is feeling low I think about her face aglow
To ease my mind

Sometimes I call her up at home knowing she’s busy
And asked her if she can get away and meet me
And grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she’s doing hurries down to meet me
And I’m always late
But she sits waiting patiently smiles when she first sees me
‘Cause she’s made that way

And if that’s not loving me all then all I’ve got to say

God didn’t make little green apples
And It don’t snow in Indianapolis when the winter comes
And there’s no such thing as make believe
Puppy dogs, or autumn leaves, no BB guns

God didn’t make little green apples
And it don’t snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes

Songwriter: Roger Miller

Little Green Apples” by Roger Miller appears on his 1968 album, A Tender Look at Love.

Music is Music

I’m really not a songwriter, so if I hear a song, I feel it and like it, I’ll do it. But I’ll make it the way I want to hear it.

Glen Campbell

A good song is a good song.

There’s no pillow as soft as a clear conscience.

Glen Travis Campbell (April 22, 1936 – August 8, 2017) was an American singer, guitarist, songwriter, television host, and actor.

Glen Campbell has always felt a divine touch in his life, as if he were given a gift he didn’t earn, but was allowed to use to make people happy and forget their worries for a time.

Campbell made history in 1967 with his first Grammy wins by sweeping the song and performance awards in both the pop and country and western categories. “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” won the pop accolades and “Gentle on My Mind” took the two country and western trophies. Those two songs and “Wichita Lineman” are in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
