ROGUE RIVER

may the stars carry your sadness away

may the flowers fill your heart with beauty

may hope forever wipe away your tears

and above all, may silence make you strong

The story behind Rogue River

point aux roches '73

woodstock - jan. '23

I'm not sure 

how tanita tikaram's '88 classic 'twist in my sobriety'

& doug appling's newer haunted mix 'greenland' 

entered my orbit 

within minutes of each other - right

like they just fell in my lap

at the same time - ok

happens sometimes

I have lotsa lines out w/random returns

rearranging some

fun

still, too easy - I'm suspicious

time to return to camp, take a nap

and think this through

the land was dry and game was scarce

worse, we were surrounded by cherokee

connecting some dots, hearing one then seeing the other

download accordingly, in & out of logic & final cut

I just put one on top of the other

I did very little actually

beyond blending them

little nip & tuck

is all

I grew up as a kid watching

chief dan george on TV back in the early 70s

he was on shows like kung fu, daniel boone & bonanza

TV star (big deal)

he was the first (kinda cool) 'indian' (redskin) who was good ...

calm, compassionate, wise

first impression

kind - (me like kemosabe)

at 12 confused, gawking up at my screen thinking ... 

who removed them?

why?

half thinking, because that's what they deserve

the other half thinking otherwise
