about

An old song updated. Optimistic view of how we might best spend our time.

lyrics

How is it, done with rearranging,
But it seems no different to me.
Time spent in constant state of changing
Why's it always lost on me.

In the first place, meant to be the last case
It's never been misunderstood.
How about resorting to the best case
In time that's spent by doing good

Why do it, never could be bothered,
Still it seems important to me.
Traveled far, and wanting to go farther
Where's the end I long to see

In the first place.....

Selfish only ever brings you down.
Take the time and do some good.
Frown and lonely, rise up off the ground.
No waste of time in doing good.

When I feel nothing I do matters
Doesn't take too long to see.
Being stuck starts to fall in tatters
Pretty soon I'm sure to be

In the first place, meant to be the last case
It's never been misunderstood.
How about resorting to the best case
In time that's spent by doing good

Live at Nefertiti
by Bandit65

Very exciting gig captured on a recent tour. Kurt Rosenwinkel in a different setting than you might expect. Well worth hearing, and getting to know this project. Jswetch

Typically wonderful writing by Barney McAll and great performances from all involved. Jswetch

Live at Ronnie Scott's
by John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension

The absolute master! What more can be said. 70+ and still writing and playing great stuff with a smoking band. Great to hear some re-visits of Mahavishnu tunes too. Jswetch
