((((hylife vol. 17))))

I hope this letter finds you fine and dandy, or at least takin’ it breath by breath. It is a new day and a new year, give thanks for the rain and my goulashes. And eyelashes.
Happy Friggin new year everybody!!!!!!! It is good to be back in Cali with the good
folks. In the East Bay with the big oaks. No hoax.
This is the new hylife my homey homies. I stuck with music cuz I’m bad at the jokes.

My dog Izzy is free! Ya’ll, thank you so much, everybody, for the support!!!!
<<<new song lyrics…check it out:

Visited ‘im and brought him treats, some eats.
I fed ‘im through the bars.
He was scared and clearly not sleeping.
So we had a Fat Foakland Party and freed him!

Coming on the new album…”Mambo For Money For My D-O-G,” as well as the already popular “Speaking In Tongues,” and the epic classic ballad “On The Line” with a full orchestra. It just gets better.

(((ANOTHER CD REVIEW!!!)))
“Let Out A Little Peace…you will keep the disc in the listening stack for many years to come—it reawakens your soul in a new way with each track. Dance, sing-out, clean house, emote. It is a balanced and effortlessly inspiring musical masterpiece.”
--Santa Cruz Gazette—
Awe shucks. Give the CD as a nice gift to a pal, why not? Purchase on-line @ http://www.cdbaby.com/hyim
I’d give away my CD but I gotta pay for rent, and Izzy treats.

This year is gonna be something different, I tell you what! Get your new year’s res. Get your new year’s res. Check the pattern and speak upon your biz. Dance, celebrate, express ya rhythms cuz we grew what we do. You grew what you do.

This is a special night folks:
A perfect way to play on Valentines.
Feb 14th @ the Elbo Room. Only $8.

This will be sexy night to remember. Jethro Jeremiah, a dope soul band is playing that night too.
A Brazilian bateria (drum ensemble) is gearing up to be joining us on the bill and the Orchestra for a few tunes (that is super-party stuff, folks).
Wonderfully ripping musicians on all instruments, all bands.
A shake your thing night.
Come lookin’ outa sight.
---editors note: we apologize for the unabashed self-promotion in this version of hylife.

Frankly you are a legend in your own right.
We are definitely already legendary (the arrogance!).
You know. Me on keys and singing and doing my poetic energetic thing. You got multi-instrumentalists Ajayi Jackson doing his gentle percussion monstrosity (he
played with Omar Sosa). Marc Calderon on six string bass. He’s the next best thing to pom-poms (He played with the drummer from The Dave Mathews Band, Carter
Beauford). Waxing the beats is Michael Faiella on drum break kit going womp womp womp for maximum maximus booty-shake (he played with Wyclef back in NYC).
Ron Gram on Sax and MarkWrite on Trumpet. They had to put in friggin’ seismic reinforcements because these guys can bring down the entire house. Sexy treats and drink, and Brazilian drum troop as part of our Orchestra???
Oh my schnitzel, yo. You’ll be saying again and again:
“Thank Goodness For San Francisco!”
We are many by an error this night corrects! >check one, two.

___fade in closing theme song right here…music.

One love musical creation for all life.
Contact!

Give thanks for all life. Peace in each movement if you can, and if not, then at least in every other that you can.

I hope to hear from you with some art or see you at the Elbo Room on Valentine’s Night.—“…we are many by an error this night corrects.”
—Eduardo Galeano, poet and historian of North, Central, And South America. He is one of the most amazing writers I have ever read. A gift of literature and prose to us all.

And with that
selah.
