UNCLE JOHNS BAND (lyrics, video & commentary) Well the first days are the hardest days, dont you worry any more, Cause when life looks like Easy Street, there is danger at your door. Think this through with me, let me know your mind, Woah, oh, what I want to know, is are you kind? Its a buck dancers choice my friend; better take my advice. You know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice. Will you come with me? Wont you come with me? Woah, oh, what I want to know, will you come with me? Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like? Their wall are built of cannonballs, their motto is Dont tread on me. Come hear Uncle Johnn Band playing to the tide, Come with me, or go alone, hes come to take his children home. Its the same story the crow told me; its the only one he knows. Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go. Aint no time to hate, barely time to wait, Woah, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go? I live in a silver mine and I call it Beggars Tomb; I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune. Anybodys choice, I can hear your voice. Woah, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go? Come hear Uncle Johns Band by the riverside, Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide. Come hear Uncle Johns Band playing to the tide, Come on along, or go alone, hes come to take his children home. (Lyrics by Robert Hunter; Music by Jerry Garcia) Hi. I thought I would go for a change of pace this week and take a look at inspired poems/songs by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia. I have found that Robert Hunters lyrics have a depth of feeling, of understanding life and being both human and awakened that at times approaches Rumi and Hafiz. And whats even better is that Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead were able to take Hunters poetry and give it life with music that could take wings and soar - penetrating multiple dimensions, taking us to the core of existence while still remaining fully grounded in our humanity. To my ears Robert Hunter combined with the Grateful Dead to become a collective human expression of the eternal music (aka Shabda, Ruach, Kalma, Logos & Word). And this is a very, very beautiful thing! I hope youre having an especially beautiful day Dancing to the LightSong of Eternal Love, Michael Turner https://youtube/watch?v=n4-_V__GUro spiritualfreedomsatsang.org - Michaels Blog
