Strophe
O Grandpa Davis who gave me my skill
My art talents ,organic, came from you
Sorry I haven’t praised you ,now .I will
Your art and talents I admire you so
Your art is an inspiration to me,
Once I lost my home; most of your art gone,
It should have been enjoyed for all to see ,
T’is a wicked act ; I do frown upon.
Antestrope
Talent is work and some inspiration ,
Organic ability not much proof ,
Work hard with lift no misinformation ,
If you believe all of it you got spoofed.
And talent is one percent makes art great.
And work is sixty percent of one’s art ,
And skill is forty percent I state,
All three in harmony is a good start.
Epode
O Grandpa Davis I wish you were alive ,
If dreams are gold meeting you is jive,
You died 5 years before I was born .
Seeing your art I was wowed-forgot to mourn.
In figure drawing your skill is mythic
Your pastel work of your wife is terrific
And Grandpa Davis my ode to you is done,
It’ is time I penned it for everyone.
Sustained in dulcet fugue
blue waters
converge inside
moments of mountains
imbued with silent springs
Pouring illusive champagne dreams
rainbow arches
that impale the softness
it sings bubbling pale perfect
birdsweet nectars
Daylight confronts
entering the city
rhythms of NOW
running to the urgency
emergency
lights flash into night
beats of congruous conflict
Away
NOW stay
vending peace inside
moments of mountains
where blue waters
I disappear
In honeyed silence

What is that feelin'
Creepin' 'bout my heart,
I think its kind of blue
Breakin' me apart
Fallin' into pieces
How many a heart has,
Once throbbed with neon
And all that jazz
I'm feelin' kind of blue
Not deep enough to cry,
A solemn kind of blue
Don't need to wonder why
Revolving slowly into
This somber attitude,
Azure leanin' on green
A pale, indigo mood
Muffled sounds carry
The smoothest baritone,
Over a muted trumpet
And a sad, sad saxophone
It's nothin' strange to me
Been right here before,
... Turn up the music
Slowly, close the door.

He predicted as a result of the 2020 election the country would be bitter, democrats would be blamed for making Trump into a monster, they would lose their power within two years and be considered a radical party.
He predicted that Biden would have no popular support, would not be able to put through any legislation, would never have a nominee for Supreme Court Justice and would eventually be relieved of his duties.
Even though most saw Trump as vulgar, uncouth, divisive and eccentric, Hanson would still vote for him. He saw Trump as a builder, dynamic leader, a regular guy from Queens and a better choice even with his bad boy attitude.

Growing old is as they say a part of life
It can cause you strife
It can cause discourse
It can even cause remorse
Growing old can be a delight
That can have the wisdom to make things right
That can have some great reward
That can keep you moving forward
So, as they say a part of life is growing old
For all a story that will unfold
Our love is good and pure
Because it has the power to endure
Our love will never seperate
Because it will never be a debate
Our love will never see heartache
Because we vow never to forsake
Our love is here to stay
Because it will endure to the end of our days
I will rise to the depth of space
Where time has never shown its face
And look out into the deep black night
To see the stars so huge and bright
Where their sunshine always reaching out
To the planets miles about
And among the stars I shall fly
Watching them as they're passing by
Finally on some unknown land
Where I'll rest on its barren sand
And there some day
My child will say
I will rise to the depth of space
Where time has never shown its face

Tribute to all who at Trauma Center,
UC Davis, who assisted me in healing.
Medical Teams!
I’ ve been here 21 days!
You all provided for my every need!
I mean far beyond things medical....
There is something in each of you
Amazingly rainbow and spiritual!
I came here with my arrogance and
inner fight.
You, softened these fires with listening,
outstanding care and making things,
oh,so right!
Thank you for making the darkness so bright.
I will see your compassionate faces, smiling
from heavenly bright stars,each night!

Give me Mitch Miller and Mac Davis Songs Please
Disney songs and Christmas songs
Elvis and Johnny Cash
Liza with a Z
Barbra Streisand
Cher
I like these songs
Mac Davis could make any song into a masterpiece
in a matter of seconds, and they were clean.
Sing along with Mitch got us in the true singing mood.
I do not understand the lyrics of today's songs.
The words are fast and sound mean in some ways.
So I go back to the 40s, 50's, 60's and 70's for my songs.
Call me old school
Call me old fashion
I do not mind.
Just call me.
I do not appreciate these silly texts either
Too impersonal
Born in Hamler Ohio
Child of Louis F Davis Sr
Lived in Portland and Savannah Ohio
Study at the University of Michigan
Specializing in the bassoon a percussion
Overcame fusing
Modern popular and classical techniques in music
Worked as an advertising jingle songwriter
Challenge by the toning down of his music
Started his own record label personal traits Davis founded Mannheim Steamroller in Omaha Nebraska
Always written suburb instrumentals and verses
Never gave up best known for his revolutionising
The Sound of traditional Christmas music

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2019
Sang like a whippoorwill, up high on a hill
Played trumpet like Satchmo, with panache and skill
To watch that man tap-dance, gave even Gregory Hines a thrill
As Ella Fitzgerald told us, 'Sammy's pure talent' distilled

Notes:
1. See 'The Birth of the Blues,' (movie) c. 1955, b & w,
to view Sammy's exceptional singing, trumpet
playing, and tap-dancing ability. (4:39 clip)
2 See 'Tap,' (movie clip) 1981, to view Gregory Hines,
a remarkable tapper himself, in awe of Sammy's
(and his friends') tap-dancing.
3 See clip of 'Ed Sullivan Show,' 1964, (3 minutes,
27 seconds) to see Ella introduce Sammy as 'pure
talent,' and then to view their incredible jazz singing.
you lean back
like you always did
and blow
wearing your bell bottom slacks
cool
just like you always were
I hear you now
maybe I always did
I just didn't know
it's all I ever wanted to do
paint a picture
lean back
see
feel
and hear the music
so please understand
I'm not trying to be you
I'm just trying

Dedicated to Bishop Curry, Skirving and Father Davis
Why do some people have to be hurt?
By despicable person and treated like dirt
Trying to gun down everyone in sight
Either during day or else late at night.
Is it disorder related to a personality?
Someone who has trouble facing reality
Maybe mind warped from being mistreated
Never reaching goal and is always defeated.
Regardless of what happened God forgives
And His spirit in us does continue to live
As well as love, patience and complete purity
While we exist in his presence, not obscurity.
God's Son Jesus died to save us from sin
And later to earth will return back again
Should seek to find what They are about
And Episcopal Church be sure to try out.
That was me sitting in the front pew.
