"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"

You, as always humble yourself. You know who Smokey Robison is. He is a Motown (out of Detroit, Michigan USA) recording artist!

Years ago, When Bob Dylan was asked who was his favorite poet he said Robinson, Smokey! Of Smokey Robison and the Miracles! 

My ego is way too big to humble himself most of the times ...And only truth humble me, not daily trivial matter as my ignorance ... 😊

I really do not know him ...

I dont know much in jazz and in soul and blues etc ...

I will listen to him...But singing poetry in english is difficult to understand for me ...I used to read simplistic syntax with no metaphors...Philosophical or scientific english... All thinkers dont write english as the spanish Santayana ...😁

I love Bob Dylan but i miss half of his tropes and allusions ...I read Whitman and Dickinson in bilingual text ... 😁

I wish you a very lucky year ... It is coming , christmas will pass in 28 minutes here ...

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Or to put it another way - everyone both fears and longs for the levee to break.

It's the utter lack of mysticism that makes music special for me. It's real, it's right there, and unlike religious nonsense that leads to separations of cultures and endless violence, it does actual good. To say that society is based on love and understanding is to ignore what is actually happened over the ages...society is based mostly on greed, ignorance, exploitation of the weak, and polka music (although I kinda like Klezmer after working with the Klezmatics once). Keep your pseudo mystical baloney to yourself and give me some jazz. I mean some jazz, man.
