NIGHT IN ROSWELL
Under cover for your eyes only
Top security clearance "A priority"
Project Blue Book
Project Joke Book
Ya can't ask Truman now it's time to
Hear the tale that will take you far and near
Wipe away the sweat there is no time to fear
Taken on board in the desert like you wanna be
down in New Mexico nineteen forty-
Seven - metal straight from heaven
Wind swept desert and a lightening bolt but not from
Zeus and the papers say balloon but
I saw the bodies on the ground that night in Roswell
(CHORUS)
Dirt dig the archeological myth
Produced a trinket with a hieroglyphical gift
could not be broken-bashed-burned are
Military men concerned I -
Wonder and a crash like thunder
Hit the ground and another Air Force
Blunder with Ramey at the helm
Takes command and Jesse never stood a chance
Told a story no one could believe
Ordered the papers of the public to deceive
Box it up tight in a place called Wright
Nothing ever happened in the sand that night in Roswell
(CHORUS)
The President and his Majestic team
Twelve apostles of the apocalypse
Gather up the data of an alien race
Making sure we never see the face of
One who escaped the jaws of death
Just long enough to become a
Guest of the American government
Never appeared in the late night supplement
Brazle, Knell, Falcon and Cooper
These are the names of a few who knew more
Never allowed the veil of security to
Shut their mouths about the truth that night in Roswell
Roswell New Mexico Y'all

Sharper Image - Fish and Bubbles
I bought this fish and bubble display for my mother as a Christmas gift and while in the process of trying to find an appropriate place to put it, I ended up straining some back muscles by continually picking it up. A few painful chiropractic visits ensued. Lesson learned: Best to find a spot for it first and then fill it up with water. Since the display hardly gets used in the house (makes too much 60 cycle hum) I figured I'd at least commemorate it with some video. The little guitar piece (a slight variation on the Dexter / Tabacco song "5 Sub. Notebook") seemed mellow enough to use as background music. In essence this video was just a way to kill some time in this isolated situation I have found myself in due to Covid-19.

I'm The Slime Uncle Remus
An acoustic version of Frank Zappa's "I'm The Slime" done up with a somewhat cheerful melody (bizarre) and that segues into a mostly acoustic version of the Zappa/Duke composition "Uncle Remus". What for, you may ask? Well, it's just another way to stave off the boredom during these 2020 isolated, lock down days. And I thought it would be fun to do.
