No rest for the weary, simply because I love this place - perhaps in fact, more than life itself! Ha! Yeah, no doubt shitty for me, but bully for you – and that’s quite alright by me! I wouldn’t have it any other way - ha!
I can’t begin to tell everyone just how much it means to me to have been invited to be a judge in this weekly Open-Mic venue.
The whole experience from week #34 has been nothing short of a blessing from who knows where – and for that, from the very bottom of my heart and soul, I wish to thank each and every one of you for playing a major role in that so profoundly personal rebirth of my very existence.
Anyway, tossing all that sappy-ass bullshit aside…
Following up on last week’s theme: “Songs from the Attic,” here’s another track to add to the half-ass collection – that is – if anyone is truly bothering to collect this retro-attic-trash of mine. Ha! …Well, just in case… Here goes…
For this entry, you can thank, as I have on numerous occasions, @luzcypher, for serendipitously guiding me back up into my fateful attic to dust off some old memories and experiences of the past.
This one’s called: Beautiful Woman – and I sure hope that all of my Open-Mic People like it on some level – any level will do…
Although admittedly it’s going to be somewhat challenging, I am going to try my frikkin’ hardest not to let the fact that I’m a “judge” change the way that I’ve been enjoying this venue and all of the people involved in it. It just means too much to me.
Granted, due to my new work-load as a judge, (yeah, the work-load part kinda sucks) I did not have the luxury of “time’ to fashion the several split screens that I would have otherwise liked to – showing the other parts and performances that made up this little piece of attic-trash.
However, fret not! There is some bonus material here… So, in order to keep up appearances with regard to some of the fun-loving antics that I like to share every now and again, I thought I’d include some out-takes of this entry, replete with plentiful foul language and as is typical, as well - placing myself very much at extreme risk of making a complete and total fool of myself.
At the end of the day, my dearly beloved Open-Mic People, I’m just a fool for each and every one of you!
Until next time, to all my fellow Steemian Musicians who labor tirelessly in the name of love for music – thank you for doing what you do! I so appreciate all of your artistic efforts and talent!
PEACE, LOVE, & JUSTICE for ALL…

There’s somethin’ about the way you make me feel,
- I just can’t shake it – I just can’t see…
It’s been building up baby, - day after day,
- I really burn for your love, in a beautiful way.
…

...
What am I gonna do, you tell me; “get outta town!”
- What’s a matter with you baby don’t you want me around?
This incredible attraction that I feel for you,
- It’s just the same attraction I know you feel for me too!
...
_Chorus_
…
Beautiful Woman got me – cryin’ mad-
You’re a Beautiful Woman, - best I - ever had.
Beautiful Woman, I can’t – turn you down.
Cause you’re a Beautiful Woman, and I want you around.
…
_Verse - 2_
...
Your lifes like a movie - and you’re the star,
- sometimes I get nowhere and sometimes I go far…
You put on a show; you hold your head up high.
- Cause you know I’ll love you baby till the day I die.
…
_Bridge_
...
What am I gonna do, you tell me; “get outta town!”

Beautiful Woman got me – cryin’ mad-
Beautiful Woman, best I ever had.
Beautiful Woman, I can’t – turn you down.
Cause you’re a Beautiful Woman, and I want you around.

_Verse - 3_
...
Let’s get a house; we’ll have a baby or two.
- We’ll live a beautiful life, - just me and you…
Feels so right, - every day,
- I really need your lovin’ baby in a beautiful way.

Had no idea what "Rondo" meant, @jaybird - so I looked it up and found out that Rondo form is a piece of music where the musical material stated at the beginning of the piece keeps returning. Cool man, thanks for bringing that to my attention! Much love, brother!

it's okay, maybe "madam @curie " busy and does not see me. I will keep trying my brother, until I reach my goal. Many new steemians joined in and I was glad to help them. Thousands of steemians in my country are not as lucky as they are. I wish I could last long here, do not die quickly and disappear from steemit
