Gotta be going Somewhere A place unknown to stagnant waters Smothered in duckweed. Gotta be moving Somewhere Where the mind Overflows The sun energizes air. Been there a time or two Before the porter Got my baggage Pointed which way to go. Gotta be growing This I know. Gotta be going To fill those Gotta, Gotta I’ve got the gotta goes... (Hey, where’s the Kleenex for a dripping nose?) I’ve got the gotta gotta Gotta goes [This message has been edited by miscellanea (08-07-2004 10:25 AM).] |

#1 Nope, not good enough on the piano to write it down. I've done it, but it takes way too long, losing something in transition. Sometimes the music comes on its own, sometimes not. #2 Yep, I'm ok. Allergy season and most likely back to college. Not looking forward to this year at all... Thanks for asking. update on Saturday-yeah, I tried it on the piano. It works. I didn't know I could do blues, but maybe I can. [This message has been edited by miscellanea (08-07-2004 09:46 AM).] |

You made me smile, dear friend! This is a great blues and to hear you sing it would be the top ..... it surely will have a healing effect on the dripping nose! Allergy is bad! Sorry that you are a victim! Wishing you well! Much love and hugs. Margherita  |

Yes, I know the rhythm and the beat to this. I've been intimately acquainted with the "gotta goes". Enjoyed.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Only one thing worse than the restlessness of "gotta" blues and that would be the paralyzing quality of the "shoulda" blues... I liked this alot! Captured that quality of need that I find so hard to define. |

James, If I get there, I'll do better than that; I'll paint you picture of the place! Thanks for taking the time to comment. miscellanea Susan, I hope some of that was well worth the song. Take care, Sweetie. Thanks for your response. I suppose at one time or another, we all sing the gotta goes (my mother and father heard that song a lot on their drive to California with a carload of kids!) miscellanea Serenity, Glad you could identify. Actually, I think the Shoulda and the Gotta Goes are both movements of the Overture of Blues. Do you know the Third Movement? Thanks for your note. I appreciate it. misc'e MGroves, It's good to have you back. Either I've been in a hurry and missed your postings or you've been away for a little time. Any way, its good to read your poetry again and to have you visit. Take care. misc'e Sunshine, Yes, I suppose their is a little gypsy in me. And I am supposed to be the settled one in the family, always content! Hm. Still water runs deep. Thanks for your comment. It's always good to hear from you. hugs, missy |

Hey you, good to read ya, I miss being able to. I wish I could hear you play and sing this one (I always wished I could get the piano thang down... but it just doesn't work!). Love the poem, and I hope those allergies are getting a little better! Always, Alyssa Poems are made by fools like me, |

GG, It's sooo good to hear from you again! I'm glad you liked this and rather imagine that your piano playing is as good as mine! This is one advantage of poor auditory processing--I don't know how bad my playing and singing really is!!! (My dog is the best indicator! Howl!) Take care, Alyssa. miscellanea Earthy Angel "Play it again, Missy! You've got me feelin' as mellow as jello. Ima swayin' to and fro with a kleenex in each hand. I gotta gotta goes and blows my nose. lol Now Isa cryin' them blues." I can well imagine this scene. I hope you really ain't got dem blues. Great to hear from you again, Linda. Have a good day. Missy |
