Song of the Day: I Love You, Baby by Brak & the Space Ghost Coast to Coast Cast

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m on a stage playing the keyboard and singing backup. There are two people in the audience. They are sitting on wooden chairs with circle seats around a small circle table and there are peanuts and peanut shells everywhere.

Blurb 1/365: Maybe one day I’ll buy a lottery ticket at the precise moment the Universe is able to hear me. I don’t want a lot. Just enough to get by and be able to give here and there.

–

Musical Pipe Dream: My bangs are gelled into a bouffant and I’m wearing a fitted suit with a skinny tie. I’m singing into a big, chunky microphone and swaying to the 2’s and 4’s. When I shake my legs, the women and men in the audience go wild.

–

Blurb 1/365: Every time I encounter a person, I treat it like I’m making a first impression; I only make first impressions.

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m singing backup with two others. We are swaying in unison to the music with choreographed dance steps. We are wearing white bows in our hair and long white gloves that go to our elbows.

Song of the Day: Ford Mustang by Serge Gainsbourg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT6U57QkUe8

–

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m wearing a pinstripe, three-piece suit and black polished shoes that come to a point at the toe. Under a beat up top hat, my hair is parted down the middle and slicked down with Dapper Dan. Thick black soot lines my eyes, fingertips, and cuticles. My shirt cuffs are unbuttoned and I’m pounding my hands down on an old piano with yellowed keys. The piano is against the wall and my back is to the rest of the room.

Blurb 1/365: “Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high.”

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m tickling the ivory keys. My eyebrows move up and down to the ups and downs of the tempo. I’ve got a big smile on my face as I sway back and forth to this sweet sound.

–

Blurb 1/365: It’s so much easier and pleasurable to live life without anger, guilt, or regret.

Musical Pipe Dream: I imagine myself sitting on the floor in front of the sliding glass door to my backyard with the daylight shining on the top of my head. I’m playing main chords on a kid sized keyboard and singing my heart out.

Blurb 1/365: Pick up the pieces, rearrange them, and put them back together.
