Here's what I was up to in the early 1990's. What a SAP? Huh.

Jacky Jukebox

Words by John Alan Conte Jr. & Music by Kurt M. Knaus

I wrote the lyrics to this song after blissfully waking up in the bed of this girl in Milwaukee, Wisconscin in a top floor apartment nearby my dorm-room. It was such a beautiful morning and nightbefore. I wrote these lyrics and had a basic melody and then when I transferred into Penn State University @Uni Park from Marquette University my friend Mike Durr had this really cool roomate Kurt M. Knaus who played guitar. After a few days of hanging out and discussing music, politics and pop-culture mass media = Kurt had the music and the chorus and we played it @ a few parties in front of girls and his big-room. The poem appears in the only non-published book of mine called In This Place: a book of the nineties Though noted many poems from this book was material I used for the many “live” poetry readings I did around the country and which lyrics used for “live” shows & recordings @ Live Wire Recordings (Fl.) with the Deerfield Beach, Fl. Band Post Face – This material was also compiled with other poems to make up a selection Mr. Burns @ Freedom Area High had me read to his honor & non honor English classes in 1996 (simply called Poems for Freedom High). ..

Jacky was a jump start jukebox – loved his rock N roll

Success pouring out from the stories he had been told

Runnin’ w/ the wild crowd – seeing diamonds in the snow

Sittin’ back in time so he could watch the young grow old

Sun shine lit days - the clouds they never came

Until he saw his friends standin’ still not doing what they will

Where’s the American dream of hot dogs and Chevorlets

Of growing up to be president - just like USA made

Jacky died to live it – Jacky always was the show

Gather together to people to do the right that we know

(Kurt added the chorus and contributed all of the music)

Uh – Oh, oh – oh, jump start his world 3x

Uh – Oh, oh – oh, jump start his world

 

 

The Story of the Narcissus Flower

The poem appears in the only non-published book of mine called In This Place: a book of the nineties Though noted many poems from this book was material I used for the many “live” poetry readings I did around the country and which lyrics used for “live” shows & recordings @ Live Wire Recordings (Fl.) with the Deerfield Beach, Fl.

Looking into the water

What did I see?

Penetrating time

I fell in love w/ me.

You came by

&

Tried to pry me away

But looking deeper inside

Defiant I stayed
