Daisy Daisy,

Give me your answer do

I'm half crazy,

All for the love of you

It won't be a stylish marriage,

I can't afford a carriage,

But you'll look sweet on the seat

Of a bicycle built for two

"The Log"

"The Log" was born in 1941, from the loins... I mean hands... Of a frustrated musician in attempt to cut distortion on his hollow bodied electric guitar. After attempting multiple experiments trying to rectify the situation, including filling his guitar with plaster, he eventually mounted a bridge, guitar neck and pick-up on a 4x4 fence post. The result was increased sustain, diminished feedback and one of the earliest "Solid Body" Electric Guitars. Sexy.

The musician's name is Les Paul. He later collaborated with Gibson in developing the legendary Gibson 'Les Paul', played by the likes of , Jimmy Page (my imaginary sugar daddy), Slash (aka my imaginary husband), and Dan Auerbach (my imaginary love slave). He also pioneered multitrack recording by commissioning Ampex, and Bing Crosby to commercially manufacture reel to reel audio tape recorders.

That was a looooong time ago. The surprising part of all this is that not only is Les Paul alive and kicking... But at 94 years old, he is still playing shows. He says: "It's Therapy". You can see him every Monday Night atIridium Jazz Club on Broadway & 51rst.

I would also like to say that I keep an emergency stash of Viagra in my purse in case of our inevitable chance meeting.

Just throwing that out there Les.

I know what it means to be longing for something,

but if your heart weighs only a pound and sixteen ounces,

there's no sense, my Don, in fighting these senseless windmills

splendid

the 3rd of July

How doth the little crocodile

Improve his shining tail,

And pour the waters of the Nile

On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,

How neatly spreads his claws,

And welcomes little fishes in

With gently smiling jaws!

Other Towns And Cities

Drinking whiskey reminds me of you

You're the first in ages to have gotten through

I know you mean well, yes I know that you do

But sooner or later you're going to break me in two

Were my pupils dilated?

Could you tell that I liked you?

We were so unlikely

You flirt with an ex, put me to the test though

And still I want to tell you that I love you the best

We turned the radiators on and there was no way back

Did you know

You had The Plough star trail on your back?

Your voice is quiet but I need it loud

In the night you went up

And in the morning you went down

And it's like you to forbid me to say goodnight

I had your brown eyes and limbs

On me through the night

These words are weak and to your dislike

But you'll never believe them so I guess it's alright

Do you like the view I show you?

Oh I say look at the light

Do you still miss the way that I hold you?

In other towns and cities

Who's holding you tonight?

The dresses came out of the bag then the tears came

And drinking has never been the same again

I shared your trouble, I shared your weight

I lost it with you today

And we don't share a birthday we do share a sign

And we shared something or was it in my mind

There was talk of love and how I need it back

I'd be better for you than that last love of mine
