    For my teacher Scott Devine who mentioned watching Netflix Cobra Kai. So I tuned in, and watched the entire series. I feel as a Judo student and brother of a Karate 3rd degree black belt I can share my interpretation of how Miyagi-do methods apply to bass teaching.  As  Miyagi-do uses wax-on, wax-off, sand-the-floor, and paint-on paint-off, I think similar physical exercises can help the bass player The First is "Swim the Pool."  Ask the student to find their best way from end to end of the pool via either Backstroke, Breast-stroke, Australian Crawl, or Sidestroke.  The item to notice is finger control. Do the fingers stay together, in a unit pulling water? Or do they spread, passing thru water with no pull? This exercise develops finger strength and focus on finger positioning. Next is " Pull the Weeds, Plant the Tomatoes." This especially for the finger apart swimmer. Get the fingers in the dirt, grab the weeds by the roots and pull them out. Once clear dirt i

 I spoke with bassist Eric "Pik Funk" Smith last nite viz Zoom Conference bass hang. His performance  with Justin Timberlake led me to JT's music. The Woods concept of JT is one that dates back to Woodstock era, see Walden Pond, as I well remember. Off The Map, or Grid, is a passion many still pursue. I am beginning a new artistic project that will combine lyric, prose, paint, music, and performance, it will be call The Woods Back.

Invisible? In the Past? God Spoke and the World was made. In the Future? Here we are, are we the recipients of Jesus Spirit? Well, the Bible says Yes. Jesus gave up the Ghost and on Pentecost The Holy Ghost descended upon the Disciples giving them tongues to speak The Word and power. The Holy Ghost in Jesus' words is one like him who comes to give us comfort and strength. If We are recipients of the Spirit, then the generations in the Future which lay before us must also be recipients. Look into the Future that is approaching us at breakneck speed and literally descending from the heavens and will be rolling them up and replacing them with a new heaven and a new earth. Science has confirmed it. The enormous body of stars above our heads and on a collision cour

 What to write Today? My home is torn apart. The freedom I thought I had vanished like smoke because the hatred my countrymen had surrounds me still. And the youth who did not know my fathers blame me. Satan holds the places of power and hates me. And he makes those who would love me if they knew me, hate me. So I ask, "Who do you say I am?" 12 Bible results for “who do you say I am”  from  New International Version.  Results 1-12.  Book of Amos Isaiah 41:13 For I am the Lord you r God who takes hold of you r right hand and say s to you , Do not fear; I will help you .
