Howdy Folks and Good Day!
We’ve got some really exciting news for you that I’ve been bursting to share…
Dr.
Barbara has just released her new book!
It’s called “The Truth: I’m Ten, I’m Smart and I Know Everything.”
I had the sheer pleasure of previewing the manuscript before it went to press. I have to admit, I put it off for a while because I was bogged down with many other things at the time. But then I picked it up and started to read… And I couldn’t put it down! I can’t recall the last time that’s happened to me!
Dr. Barbara tells the delightful tale of a young woman coming of age chronicling the laughter, joy, heartaches and tears we’ve all faced from the perspective of a very precocious ten year old. In sharing a year of this young girl’s heart, we are reminded of life’s simplest pleasures and what it’s like to discover ourselves as we overcome life's fears and challenges.
The Truth is page after page of delight, wonder, insight, and inspiration. I highly recommend it.
CONGRATULATIONS, DR. BARBARA!
Way to go!!!
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…
Rev. Jeanette

A Weekly Column
By Joseph Walker
TOUCHING BASS ON COMMON GROUND
My teenage neighbor, Mikey, has taken up the electric bass guitar. I know this because I could hear the pounding
bum-bum-bum of his heavily amplified Fender late into the night last
Saturday. He was playing along with music
that was coming – loudly – from his CD player.
I didn’t recognize the
song. Heck, I barely recognized that it
was music. But I did recognize the
passionate energy – if not the musical virtuosity – that was flowing from his soul
to his fingers to the strings of his electric bass. It was a feeling I remembered from my own
bass-playing days, when I tried to keep up with Peter Cetera’s
flying fingers as the Chicago Transit Authority album played on my Mom and
Dad’s old RCA hi-fi.
“I’m a man . . . yes I am . . .
and I can’t help but love you so . . .”
Bum-bum-bum-bum-BUUUM!
I mentioned this to Mikey the next day at church. At first he was a little
embarrassed that I had heard him. But when I told him that I was a fellow bassman and that I thought he sounded pretty good he seemed
pleased. And almost
interested.
“Did you play in a group or
anything?” he asked.
“Oh yeah,” I said with as much
cool as a 52-year-old with short hair and a double chin can muster. “I was in a few of ‘em. We played dances and parties and stuff. It was great.”
Which was
essentially true. I did play in
three or four rock bands. Each one
lasted for about one gig. We’d play a
party or a dance, and for some reason that I never fully understood there was
no one clamoring for us to play again. Ever. So we didn’t
(although there has been some talk of at least one Geezer Rock reunion tour –
I’ll keep you posted).
“So did you, like, do
At first I thought he was being
facetious. And maybe he was – a
little. But I could understand his logic
(which in itself is a little frightening, now that I think about it): old guy
plus bass plus rock band equals
Doesn’t it?
“Nah,” I told him. “That was a little before my time. I was only 14 when
Mikey
and I chatted for a couple of minutes about the vicissitudes of playing the
bass. I empathized with the calluses
he’s growing on his fingers, and I assured him that they will eventually be
less painful. We talked about picking
versus plucking (I was always partial to plucking the strings with my fingers,
but Mikey makes a good case for the cleaner, crisper
sound you can get while using a pick).
And we both smiled knowingly when I shared with him this one infinite
and eternal truth: “Chicks dig bass players.”
“Oh, yeah,” Mikey
said, with a sly chuckle. “That’s for
sure!”
I don’t think I’m as sure of
that as Mikey evidently is, but I am sure of this:
for a few minutes last Sunday Mikey and I were not
“old guy” and “teenager” – we were brothers, bound by four strings and a desire
to make music. Never mind that his idea
of “music” is vastly different from mine.
Forget that he thinks “rap” is something you do with your voice, not
your knuckles. Don’t worry that he has
more in common with Sanjaya than Santana. None of that mattered on Sunday. For a moment or two we stood together on
common ground – which, it turns out, is not really all that difficult to find.
Especially if you don’t mind the late-night bum-bum-bum.
