The three great moments of my life had to be the concerts of Ellington in 1938, Dizzy in '48, and Ella in '52.

See the tunes
on their faces,
masques from
cabinets of races.
Dizzy-ness
and Ellington
in penetrating
paces.
The Contrabass,
the stiff parade
and lack of sex,
till Misses Sachs
makes moments smile.
A Tambu for a while
which interlaces
-tranquil such chill-
and moods of inspiration;
it's all..... improvisation!

You make me dizzy

Im so dizzy
My head is spinning
Like a whirlpool
It never ends
And its you girl
Making it spin
Youre making me dizzy
First time that I saw you girl
I knew that I just had to make you mine
But its so hard to talk to you
cause boys are hangin round you
All the time
I want you so much behind
But you keep playing hard to get
Im going round in circles all the time
Dizzy, Im so dizzy
My head is spinning
Like a whirlpool
It never ends
And its you girl
Making it spin
Youre making me dizzy
D - I - z - z - y
You make me dizzy
D - I - z - z - y
I finally got to talk to you
And told you just exactly how I felt
And I held you so close to me
And kissed you when my heart began to melt
How you took coltrol of me
cause Im so dizzy I cant see
I need to call a doctor for some help
Dizzy

Dizzy
I wanna know who you are
No more admiring you from a far
You walk by I get weak in the knees
I get next to you andi get dizzy dizzy
The way you look the way you move
Your body's telling me that I cant lose
You and me were meant to be
I get next to you and I get dizzy dizzy
My head is spinning round and round
You got me feeling like my feet arent on the ground
What is this power that you have over me
I get next to you and I get dizzy dizzy
I dont know just what to do
I've been in love but this is something new
Your the one for me its plain to see
I get next to you and I get dizzy dizzy
With my eyes open I wanna see your face
Spend all my days in your sweet embrace
Just one night with you could set me free
I get next to you and i get dizzy dizzy
You make me think of things to come
I'm dreaming that I'm making love
I dont know what you doing to me
I get next to you and i get dizzy dizzy
My head is spinning round and round
You got me feeling like my feet arent on the ground
What is this power that you have over me
I get next to you and I get dizzy dizzy
I dont know just what to do
I've been in love but this is something new
Your the one for me its plain to see
I get next to you and I get dizzy dizzy
(rap)
Hey I wanna hear you scream
Girl do you wanna get with me
Actually its plain to see
The way you move is making me dizzy
Dont know just what to do
I need some love to get me through
I'm feeling you

My Canadian Chronicles 13
In each life, there are special moments
we like to remember and recall.
Moments that have brought us laughter
almost cascading into tears.
Moments of great happiness
to last us through the years.
Moments with very special people
who are dearly beloved friends.
Special moments no one can take away.
They happen but once
and are captured forever within our mind.
Special moments within our lifetime.

Ataturk was wonderful.
Ataturk was great.
Yet if Ataturk
was so wonderful?
Why did he drink raki
every night so late?
If he had been a
Winston Churchill?
He might have partaken
of brandy and cigars?

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (1881-1938) was a soldier, statesman, reformer, founder and first president (1923-1938) of the Republic of Turkey. He was given the name Ataturk (‘Father of Turks’) by the National Assembly in 1934.

When we did concerts, we wanted them to be theatrical events - collaborations with designers, choreographers, and directors - because we thought traditional rock concerts were boring.

Timida
Es as, la veo sonreir
Con ojos distraidos,
Quieta en una esquina corno si
Yo no estuviera alli.
Creo yo que el juego es para dos,
Los dos el mismo juego.
Pero no se da,
De pronto ya no est
Y no me deja ni un adis.
Ella es timida, se esfuma si la ves.
Ella es timida, por eso es come es,
Yo no soy capaz
De lastimar su corazn.
Ella es timida,
Ms qua timida.
Fjate, la quiero pero s
Que es dulce y vulnerabili
Tan frgil como hilos da crist-..
No quiero hacerle mal.
Conozco sua secretos pero no
La voy a hacer sufrir,
Porque es tan dbil
Como un ptalo de flor
Y su doler me duele a mi.
Ella es timida, se esfuma si la ves.
Ella es timida, por eso es corno es.
Yo no soy capaz
Da lastimar su corazn.
Ella es timida, ms qua timida yeah!

Ella es timida, se esfuma si la ves.
Ella es timida, por eso es corno es.
Yo no soy capaz
De lastimar su corazn.

Too Dizzy
Theres too much talking for a night drive
Too much mist in front of my eyes
Im not trying to lose control
But youre just pushin pushin pushinfor a fight
You look trapped, turn the radio on
Too much smoke, air conditioning gone
But Im helpless in love with you
But youre just looking looking looking for a break
Is it love or is it what
Whos this guy Im gonna blow away hey
What kind of love is he giving you
Im-a-dizzys what Im trying to say
I said
Too dizzy-you cant have a lover
Im too dizzy-its me and no other
Im a bad loser-im-a-shakin in anger
Im a too dizzy-you cant have no lover
You can go on dreaming every night
But Im not letting you out of my sight
Im-a-ten times the man than any guy around
But youre just itchin-twitchin-itchin for a break
Theres too much talking for a night drive
And too much mist in front of my eyes
But Im helpless in love with you
But youre just looking looking looking for a break
Is it love or is it what
Whos this guy Im gonna blow away
What kind of love is he giving you
Im-a-dizzys what Im trying to say
I said
Im too dizzy-you cant have a lover
Im too dizzy-its me and no other
And Im a bad loser-im-a-shakin in anger
I said too dizzy-you cant have no lover
I said too dizzy
Dont come any harder
I said Im too dizzy
Dont come any closer
I said Im too dizzy
I said too dizzy
Too dizzy
Too dizzy
Too dizzy you cant have no lover
Too dizzy

My Love
My love for People is so great,
My heart melts once it has twitched;
The nights break down to slithering pieces
Of dark and darker pieces, shards,
When he is away, when his time has passed
The moments of life begin to thaw.
He is a beautiful ripe fruit, his beauty is great,
Gardening is all I do,
Waiting for all the right moments in my life.

In These Moments Of Revelation
IN THESE MOMENTS OF REVELATION
In these moments of revelation
We are where we are meant to be.
It may be the Music of a voice
Or it may be some manifestation of great Light in words
A Poem-
It may be in a deed of Courage-
It is when we see in the world
And in humanity
A Greatness that justifies and sanctifies Everything.
We thank God who Gives us Moments of Life
Where the Beauty of Being
Lives in us
And makes us know too
We are at home
In Your soul.

Loss of memory
I thank the loss of my memory
Of those days when I had not a friend
I am thankful to the memory
Of those great moments when we are together
I thank the loss of my memory
Of those seconds prior to your reasonableness
I am thankful to the memory
Of the great dimple when you smile
I thank the loss of my memory
Prior to the reduction of your anger
I am thankful to the memory
Of those great sharing moments of your success
I thank the loss of my memory
For the reasons of our arguments
I am thankful to the greatest
Moments of my life with you.

Moments
a life
a single life
our lives
follows
follow dignified bearings
compass bearings
charted
upon self set course
chosen
by a moment
those significant
moments
moments
mere fleetings
moments
moments
seeded upon cast wind
of our own actions
actions
which we shall be
accountable for
for for
the duration of
our lives
upon great
moments chosen
conscience
wisely are
our characters
our reputations
won
upon
smallness
smallness
of a single
solitary act
can a single
act ungoverned
our characters
reputations

lost forever

Waving to moments passing by
Moments happy moments
people think about them
people write about them
people talk about them
people hope about them
I see moments
lots of moments
but I wave to my moments
as they pass me by...
My life is a ship
on an Ocean deep
passing by is the ship 'Could've been'
it holds all my moments in its keep
I stand on my lifes deck
waving to moments till they're just a speck
Moments happy moments
people live them
people grab them
people make them
people savour them
but I wave to my moments
as they pass me by...
Goodbye 'Could've been'
Goodbye moments...

Moments
We have treasured moments
we collect everyday,
as we walk our journey
along life’s long and winding road.
Moments that we want to keep
for some sad and lonely day.
Moments to treasure,
when the sun refuses to shine.
Moments to remember
and call upon at anytime.
Moments when we are blessed,
with love and friendship divine.
Moments that we gather,
with love in our memories.
Moments, beautiful moment,
we gather everyday.

Nadie Como Ella
Ella sabe darse toda
en un instante
derretir con la mirada
un corazon
ella es fuego que se siente
en mis labios cuando
hacemos el amor
Es una aventura
andar bajo su blusa
poco a poco acariciar
toda su piel
Es un sueno darle un beso
ella sabe que me tiene
a su merced
[Coro]
Mi corazon es suyo
me siento suyo
daria la vida
por volverle a ver
quien iba imaginarlo
yo convertido
en un capricho
de su desnudez
No hay nadie como ella
tan dulce tan bella
me juego la vida por ella
no hay nadie como ella
es fuego que quema
estoy que me muero por ella
Ella no es como las otras
que dejaron
cicatrizes de amargura
y de dolor
vino ella y con ternura
otra vez me hizo creer
en el amor
[Repite Coro]
No hay nadie como ella
tan dulce tan bella
No hay nadie como ella
tan dulce tan bella
Es fuego que quema
y se mete en mis venas
y me juego hasta la vida por ella
No hay nadie como ella
tan dulce tan bella
me he vuelto capricho
de su desnudez
hoy daria todo
por volverla a ver
No hay nadie
que me sepa comprender
como ella
maravilla de mujer
No hay nadie
calma mis ganas de amar
como ella
y por eso quiero mas
quiero mas
