Unreleased recording, by an unsigned artist (uploaded with artists permission)
"One Armed Man" by Russell JavorsI think the lyrics to this are pretty weird, but the groove the musicians are in is extraordinary. This song is at least 30 years old, but still is cool as hell to me.
My son Ray-Man 22 years ago as I was teaching him how to vocalize and speak. Watch his hand ... It really breaks me up.

Unreleased song, from an unsigned artist. All rights reserved.
Up until now I have been sharing (with permission) songs of Russell's that were written as far back as 35 years ago. But this song was written much more recently, and was in tribute to Russell's friend Doug Stegmeyer, who we lost some years ago. It's a moving ballad sung as if from Doug's point of view, and I think it is one of Russell's best compositions ever."The Best Of Me" by Russell Javors

After listening to Rihanna speak about her relationship with Chris Brown I was reminded that I wrote a song about women who accept being beaten by some guy, and go back to him again, and again. Especially hard to understand when that woman has money, and power. Here's my somewhat theatrical examination of this phenomena, "A Little Black & Blue".

Lao-tzu said:
Human beings are tranquil by birth this is the celestial nature. Sensing things, they act ... this is natural desire. When things come to them, they respond ... this is the action of knowledge. When knowledge and things interact, likes and dislikes arise. When likes and dislikes are formed, knowledge goes to externals and cannot be returned to the self so the celestial design disappears. Therefore sages do not replace the celestial by the human. Outwardly they evolve along with things, yet inwardly they do not lose their true state. So those who realize the Way return to clear tranquility. Those who find out about things end up without contrivance. They nurture the intelligence by calmness, unify the spirit by abstraction, and take to the gate of nothingness. Those who follow heaven travel with the Way; those who follow humans mix with the vulgar. Therefore sages do not let business disturb the world and do not let desires confuse feelings. They do what is appropriate without scheming they are trusted without speaking. They succeed without thinking about it, achieve without contriving to do so.

Microsoft releases Windows 7 tomorrow, and the word from the tech geeks in the know is that it is the most stable system Microsoft has ever had, and for the first time comparable to the Mac operating system for performance, and reliability.
However, the system is difficult to install on existing computers, and people will likely have to have it installed by a service center ... or just buy another computer with the system already installed. The good news is that the system is not the nightmare Vista turned out to be, and it makes the argument on which platform to buy less critical.Jim Cim
