At the Boca Club _ new November 2016 poem

At the Boca Club
If you can get up
You can go for a rub
*No one wears any socks
So many in the hot tub
A code for your lock
Look there's the president 
Here at the Boca Club
Why yes he's a VIP resident 
He was grandfathered in
There's no final word
The White House begins 
Like a senator in session 
That's better for his dementia
To continue to serve
Learn to forget 
The President likes to bet
That's how he won
He knew the odds
But can't predict 
The model has been broken 
All the computers hacked
They're trying to hack a mind
Trouble for the whacking find
We advise don't be like Dick
Here at the Boca Club
It's our members that matter
So whatever you shatter 
Does split together time
We smoke & drink unlike the dud
It's something we do for Old Mum

Written November 22, 2016
7:28 a.m.


*Inspired by @DonnyDeutsch master marketer & brander on Morning Joe


Good wishes,
John

Rusted Root Behind the Scenes of the Scene in L.A. 2007

Rusted Root Martyr + Lost in a Crowd @ Penn State University #happyvalley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9KgNf_TCfE 
Great audio & visual with original RR line-up in front of a huge PSU outdoor crowd that, as captured here by me in the photo-pit, was very enthused and, well, out-of-control.. Watch as inbetween songs Jenn & Michael make a plea to the crowd to "cool it" a bit on the body surfing & mosh-pit. ..and then during Lost Jenn leaps from stage into the crowd because a little kid was getting crushed & security had to pull-out a few culprits & eject them. But like the true professionals my good friends are they pick-up in the song right where they leave off & don't miss a beat or note. 
Amazing footage here #RightPlace #RightTime for a crazy rock & roll show 4/23/05

Martyr -Michael Glabicki Rusted Root Trio- Live @ PGH Winery Nov'15 (master audio synched w/ HD video) TheNewEverydayMedia.com Productions
———{{{@
How's it done? whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note = The time signature tells us what type of note gets the beat and how many beats are in each measure? Chord changes, progression and can you take it to the bridge. .. Timing is important to musicians and live shows can offer seams of sidewalks that expand out to the sea and with sweet & sometimes dark emotions ring out different than the night before "Hey!" crashing into the consciousness of the crowd, "how long should we play the martyr?" until the crowd is manipulated in writhing ectasy wanting to keep going and open to go there pushing those borders and seams leading to the sea, "hey, mister can you help me sir i plead for your sympathy" - Martyr - is a Rusted Root classic and for geeks looking to try and remember being a part of something larger than themselves this video has synched up the master audio from PGH Winery sound with my HD video = edited by me in iMovie uploaded to my Vimeo account
