about

My wrist was broken very badly by a man who fell on me as I was coming up from a spit on a dance floor he was sharing with me, but not very well. I have a "T" shaped titanium plate holding my wrist together now. I had to face "What if I am not a musician anymore?". I used this song as occupational therapy. Every day I tried to get one step closer to holding the guitar neck, playing my first, then second...chords, part of the song (lots of Tylenol mixed in here), and finally the whole song. With life and all it's parts, so fragile and temporary, the permanence of this Love I Am, moved through this body to take recording actions, at home, very simply. With all of the imperfections of a life perfectly imperfect, I offer you Freedom NOW. I can not promise anything, but it is absolutely in my heart to offer all the songs of this heart. I pray for many more days, increased technical know how, and funds to offer you songs and albums until death do us not part.

Thank you for clicking through to me. I am ever grateful.

lyrics

Nothing's ever wasted
cause I’ve tasted the truth
and everything just
brings
me right back to it

In a moment I found out
beyond any doubt
there’s no in and there’s no out
and in a way I knew it

Freedom now
It’s all about
freedom now
freedom now
no other way how

Afraid I’ll turn away
but oh, when I do
I learn something new
I couldn’t say I blew it

All that calls for my attention is another gift of grace
what animates your beautiful face
is ever clearer

No future no past
and not of the mind
beloved true love
the here and now
kind

Even fantasies
they reveal where there is a me
some mistaken identity
hiding what is free

Love has got my number
callin every moment, I don’t mind
cause it’s the true kind
and I’m available

Freedom now
it's all about
freedom now
freedom now
no other way how
