'it's beautiful'

not with a bang but a whimper.

no butterflies tonite. the audience is john and rich and matt. with the pool table on percussion.

eventually more people in the house. joellen and tess show. nice.

no secret, perhaps, of the song i wanted to do last nite. i'll do it now. make it mine. like this:

got my last twenty six dollars in my hand. meet him at the statue in washington park. hey nigga boy you chasin our women around? i'm just lookin for some of that niskayuna high. and it feels so good. it's beautiful. it's fucking beautiful. but this will be the last time. because tonite. i will fly away. fly. fly. away.

breakdown: how many mistake my segue into lou reed's dirty boulevard for lenny kravitz? how many are actually listening?

no matter. mad props from mr. powhida as the last chords fade.

a fella couldn't ask for anything more.
