#themusicologist [786] Irma Thomas – I wish someone would care
all [urbn]musicologists KNOW that the only genuine ‘universal’ is music.
For me, wo/mans GREATEST achievement and the only one worthy of delivering ‘truth’.
clearly this is related to the ‘frequencies’ generated in the ‘act’ of MAKING music.
the greater the ‘harmony’ the more effective the ‘atoms’ blend in the ‘field’.
Hold this RANKING piece from the incredible Irma Thomas a cat already featured on #themusicologist along the ‘way’
that said…Borges does a great job of communicating the ‘essence’ as well.
“Here once again the memorable lips, unique and like yours. I am this groping intensity that is a soul.
I have got near to happiness and have stood in the shadow of suffering.
I have crossed the sea. I have known many lands; I have seen one woman and two or three men.
I have seen the city’s edge, an endless sprawl where the sun goes down tirelessly, over and over.
I have relished many words.
I believe deeply that this is all and that I will neither see nor accomplish new things.
I believe that my days and my nights, in their poverty and their riches, are the equal of God’s and of all men’s.

aSongForConZu #80
Nothing is more manifest than the hidden;
nothing is more obvious than the unseen.
Therefore the Master
pays attention to what is happening
within her innermost self.

“The Tao is the way things are,
which you can’t depart from
even for one instant.
If you could depart from it,
it wouldn’t be the Tao.
Therefore the Master
looks into her own heart
and respects what is unseen and unheard”.

I was lost in a world of dreams

Searching for his lambs here and there and everywhere

You and all your charms…………oh……yes you set me free
We kissed…………………………and the world was all aglow
Then my heart cried
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i LOVE YOU SO x

#4WindsBlow
It is a strange old world and and no mistake but MUSIC unifies the
‘4 winds‘:
Heart, Soul, Body and mind and NEVER fails to deliver.
Looking back over almost a CENTURY of (predominantly), urbane musicology has taught me that.
From the earliest days of New Orleans barrel house right up to the street sounds of London, (where i was born and raised), I have listened, reflected, absorbed and learned more from the universal language than from any other source of human narrative.
I feel like rolling out a theme, starting today.
Where and for how long the ‘wind‘ blows, nobody knows.

Renewal #3
Everton Blender – Dem Fight I
Around 1993 themusicologist was once again focused on the sounds coming out of Jam Down after a 5-6 year sabbatical spent soaking up the sounds of London, Chi’, The Motor City, NYC and Europa.
For me the years between 1992 – 1998 were a ‘golden age’ for the Reggae. SO many top drawer, conscious, deep cuts emerged with the new wave of ‘computerised’.
Not that Jamaica didn’t embrace the ‘digital’ many years before. Everyone who knows can point to cuts [especially those from the hands of the mighty Prince Jammy] that tore up the dance a decade before but the 90’s cuts coming out of labels like exterminator, penthouse, harmony house, Digital B, How Yuh Fi Say That and MANY more one and two shot labels drew not only on the global musical landscape but also and MOST importantly the ‘democratisation’ of music production that had emerged.
Some MASSIVE works were waxed during them years and themusicologist was on them cuts like a rash back then. Consuming box after box after box, week after week, month after month, year after year.
A Few cuts on this Rhythm. This is one of my favourites. Reminds me of them days.
