It has the lyric that is the name of the band. In the liner notes, there is a poem penned by A.A. Milne. "It's a very funny thought that, if Bears were Bees,
They'd build their nests at the bottom of trees, And that being so (if Bees were Bears), We shouldn't have to climb up all these stairs." -Pooh I love the lyrics. These guys, at the party the other night, got me high with their music, as the Doors said is done with truly amazing music. I love the lyrics, and the music is beautiful, and the band is together live, as they are on the cd. I bought two copies of the cd. One for me, and the other for a friend. Among the others wonderful musicians were Allison Millham, The HotShots, and The Well Beings. Allison Millham played through a looping pedal, keyboard, freeing her to focus on her beautiful vocals. Here lyrics are thoughtful, deep lyrics. There was a song I thought could be from the viewpoint of a tree. There was a song asking who lived in your house before you, and who before that. There was a song that made me feel deeply, with intense lyrics of trying situations for her red headed friend. It was intense and amazing. Worth the time to hear her sing, if she is near your neighborhood, or you feel like visiting her web page http://www.myspace.com/allisonmilhammusic The HotShots were Thumpalicious. Pretty loud. At first I had some trouble getting into it. Then I had a couple strong swigs of strong ale. Before I knew it I was head banging and stomping. Good times. While The Well Beings played I was in the adjoining room, involved in discussions of my opinion that our ideal choice for the Democratic nomination must be The Honorable Congressman Dennis Kucinich for President with The Honorable Senator Barack Obama as V.P. Also, we were discussing the power of positive thinking, that is, how we get what we focus on, or as some really rockin' band put it a few years back, "Your prime pre-occupation is where you go." Meanwhile the sweet sounds of The Well Beings, emanating all through our being. I came to the party specifically because I love hearing The Well Beings, as well as being in their presence. They are wonderful people, and I enjoy being in their presence. I also received two copies of the Shel Silverstien Tribute from Alligator Shoes Recordings One for myself, and one for some friends I told the other day about it . I gave them their copy today. They are stoked. Later that night I saw a sign on a garden center saying they have honeybees. Ah, if bears were bees. |
