Pretty sassy little number from the lesser-known ‘Big Ella’. It’s up for auction right now if you care to have a go at it, on eBay. I’ll attempt to include a sound file here …

there is an even-paced rainstorm
scattering itself along the edge of my building
it is, undoubtedly, doing exactly what it should be
functioning within precise dimensions
spinning at unprecedented angles to propell new velocity
under which this blooming booming cloudburst
was designed to, and then did, come to be
every single damn rotten square inch of it is perfect
even the drops who drip down in misshapen trail-offs
bent-up by the short breeze for a bit
just before old man Gust comes up from behind
& shatters the poor lads completely;
After which, He gathers them up with his one
cold, wrinkled hand
look now, you might just catch glimpse of him
hunched over & merging them back up together
with his quick flaps and scrambled-egg up-slants
you are asleep, a few miles south of my window
and I imagine your dreams are manifesting
into the AM airwaves
carrying with them this clairvoyant sense of calm
that’s settling gently over me just now
as if this canopy of low rumbling thunder
was really God herself, playfully saying hello,
vibrating the entire Earth with glorious, mericful laughter
sweeping aside the layers of fragmented understanding
to be replaced with_tremendous inhale, gasping at
would you look at that?
leaping across buildings at night just to shout into each crevace
we are saved,
full-on flown past the present

golden ratio growth _ pace known in fragmented bends of ends unyieldingly narrow
we are forever drifting – and glowing big bright, less obvious is the mess still left to clean
so stow the embers round your brow once more; and feel the hardwood creak against heels – still cracked from the freeze last December blew in through and back out that unlatched door

There comes a time – when love must move away. Find out about forgotten dreams, in San Francisco Bay. Comes a time when we must remember who we are, see the lines formed from running back and forth – between what matters most, and what rots away our roots (that used to) connect everything we need to breathe in-full. To feel the deepest colors spilling onto my eyelids, kissed with whispered definitions of her typographer lips. It’s burning up now, the orange sun-setting over some distant horizon calling her to bloom. Here we are, watching it all fall from afar.

Peter Brown has one simple request. Is that too much to ask?

Big bright shinning red ROSE Doo-Wop bopper bam slam piece of vinyl treasure piece. From some unknown 1958 kind of Midwest vibration. It’s absurd and boisterous. The grooves all shiny like a brand new brew still steeping in my dreams – swirling under pitches bent up against the lost archives of all things worth keeping secret or unspoken. It’s a rare moment, to find something that can frustrate and elate all in the same rotation.

Mr. Bobby Helms was a country and western singer. This record is a bit of an oddity … Pretty World Records, based in Liberty, North Carolina, seems to have been rather obscure. Can’t find any evidence of either this record or the label’s existence. Love the design though. The A-side, “I Feel You, I Love You So Much” was released by Little Darlin’ Records, but that pressing included a B-side entitled “All I Need is You.”
