No rest for the weary, simply because I love this place - perhaps in fact, more than life itself! Ha! Yeah, no doubt shitty for me, but bully for you – and that’s quite alright by me! I wouldn’t have it any other way - ha!
I can’t begin to tell everyone just how much it means to me to have been invited to be a judge in this weekly Open-Mic venue.
The whole experience from week #34 has been nothing short of a blessing from who knows where – and for that, from the very bottom of my heart and soul, I wish to thank each and every one of you for playing a major role in that so profoundly personal rebirth of my very existence.
Anyway, tossing all that sappy-ass bullshit aside…
Following up on last week’s theme: “Songs from the Attic,” here’s another track to add to the half-ass collection – that is – if anyone is truly bothering to collect this retro-attic-trash of mine. Ha! …Well, just in case… Here goes…
For this entry, you can thank, as I have on numerous occasions, @luzcypher, for serendipitously guiding me back up into my fateful attic to dust off some old memories and experiences of the past.
This one’s called: Beautiful Woman – and I sure hope that all of my Open-Mic People like it on some level – any level will do…
Although admittedly it’s going to be somewhat challenging, I am going to try my frikkin’ hardest not to let the fact that I’m a “judge” change the way that I’ve been enjoying this venue and all of the people involved in it. It just means too much to me.
Granted, due to my new work-load as a judge, (yeah, the work-load part kinda sucks) I did not have the luxury of “time’ to fashion the several split screens that I would have otherwise liked to – showing the other parts and performances that made up this little piece of attic-trash.
However, fret not! There is some bonus material here… So, in order to keep up appearances with regard to some of the fun-loving antics that I like to share every now and again, I thought I’d include some out-takes of this entry, replete with plentiful foul language and as is typical, as well - placing myself very much at extreme risk of making a complete and total fool of myself.
At the end of the day, my dearly beloved Open-Mic People, I’m just a fool for each and every one of you!
Until next time, to all my fellow Steemian Musicians who labor tirelessly in the name of love for music – thank you for doing what you do! I so appreciate all of your artistic efforts and talent!
PEACE, LOVE, & JUSTICE for ALL…

Beautiful Woman got me – cryin’ mad-
You’re a Beautiful Woman, - best I - ever had.
Beautiful Woman, I can’t – turn you down.
Cause you’re a Beautiful Woman, and I want you around.

Your lifes like a movie - and you’re the star,

You put on a show; you hold your head up high.

Thank you, David!
Sounds like it could have been a Stones song. Which is a very good thing!
How flattering, Paul! Yeah, I often fantasize about the "Stones" taking one of my half-ass songs and turning it into something of enduring value... Thank you so much, man - means a lot!
Interesting Sort of Rondo form choice. I like the ABC style.
The shout outs are great & a Cool catchy lead line !
Oh man Jaybird, thank you so much for weighing in dude! You were always one of my fav's from the get go - so it means so much to me that you commented, man - Thank you, brother!
Had no idea what "Rondo" meant, @jaybird - so I looked it up and found out that Rondo form is a piece of music where the musical material stated at the beginning of the piece keeps returning. Cool man, thanks for bringing that to my attention! Much love, brother!
It's times like this when I wish I had so much more to upvote with.
Much love, Chris... no need for voting "power" as it were - your comment here speaks volumes - worth more than any cyrpto-power that could be conjured up by the block chain.... Thank you, my man!
I'm glad you put that out there, man, that was pretty cool!
That outtakes video was a gas! I enjoyed that a lot!
1959 eh? I got you beat by 4 years...
No way, Amber! I didn''t think that anyone here could possibly have me be beat on that front... But I guess I was mistaken... At least I'm in real good company! Thank you for coming clean, and revealing a very small part of the basis for your sage wisdom... Love you, girl!
Yet another amazing performance!. You never sease to impress me! Tou put a llt off heart on all your performances! SO inspiring!
Thanks again for sharing tour beautiful talent with us!
I am hoping to some day see you release an EP or full album called “Songs from the attic” <3

Tru-Dat, my friend... likewise, brother!
Thanks brother. I'm glad to see @curie over to you
Ahhh, "Madam Curie" - I heard about him/her... Love them - whoever he or she may happen to be for kickin' up to us little fish struggling for mere survival... All kidding aside, I very much appreciate their efforts for the community at large - It's a really beautiful thing when you think about it... Peace out, man!
it's okay, maybe "madam @curie " busy and does not see me. I will keep trying my brother, until I reach my goal. Many new steemians joined in and I was glad to help them. Thousands of steemians in my country are not as lucky as they are. I wish I could last long here, do not die quickly and disappear from steemit
