Spendin’ the Night with Keb’ Mo’ There is no moon tonight. No stars cheerfully glance through my window. There is no television noise to break the silence. There is only Keb’ Mo’ guitar enveloping the room. There is only my mind trying to make sense out of nonsense. There is no moon tonight and I am happy to see only black from my window. There is no conversation only Keb’ Mo’ in my ears. -- Alison |

I love Keb Mo. Good choice for the funky blues and some super acoustic guitar work. He plays electric well too but I love his acoustic work. Some great slide! That smooth voice delivery with just a hint of rasp in it. Yep don't blame ya, I could easily spend a night listening to Kevin Moore. By the way, you are describing the situation so very well in this. Take care don't get lost in the snow... While you're listenin to ol Keb Mo Ya better "Slow Down"....LOL! Eric I was down for so long Everything I did was wrong And I found fault In everyone but me I was hurt and alone I could not find my way home Broke-down and hungry And too tired to moan [Chorus] Then I heard somebody calling my name Saying ain't no need to be shamed I found out that The Door was always open I was trapped in my mind A prisoner of my own design Lost in a world A world of confusion I was there by myself Couldn't find no help no where else Thought I'd call up the hotline But there was nobody there [Chorus] Then I heard somebody calling my name Saying ain't no need to be shamed I found out that The Door was always open Were you listening to that one?......(smile).... |

Go team Keb Mo.  Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand. |

Thank you Allison! My son is an electric guitarist so I guess that is why I never heard of Keb' Mo'. I just sent the videos to him and will wait for his reply to see if he likes him. I like him very much. latearrival |

A- Several years ago I saw a double bill with Bonnie Raitt and Keb Mo... Now that was heaven. *sigh* Nice write, Indigo |

Eric, I do so love that song. That was not the one I was listening too though when I was writing the poem. I had just bough "Big Wide Grin" and was listening to the end of Grandma's Hands - I think anyway. Keb' Mo' is just one of those artists that I think I would love to know. Know what I mean? Alison - SEA, I bet that you like him if you look him up. Thank you, darlin'. xoxoxo Alison - Yay! VM, you make me want to shake my pom pom's. A - BC, We must be kindred spirits. Yes? Alison - late, I am so happy that you took the time to listen to him. He's worth it for sure. Thanks for reading and understanding. A - indigo I am so jealous. I really am. Alison |

Mark, Have you gotten to know him yet. If not, give him a try. Glad you liked the poem. Thank you. A - Eric, You are in my secret club then. A - suthern, Did the plans work out. You sure brought a smile to my face. A - Sea, Thank you, darlin', for trusting me enough to listen to the music. He's a keeper, isn't he. So are you. xoxoxo Alison |
