As someone mentioned, I don't believe we don't have a topic for him either. But here it is now.

Any more questions?

Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

no questions

Prayer For Spanish Harlem

lyrics/music by Jackie Greene

Hot night, Spanish Harlem
Full moon, sinking low
I was standing at the bottom
Of your blue window

I come for miles just to hold you
It's been so long, baby, how've you been?
Do you remember what I told you
It's still the same it was back then
It's still the same it was back then

And I hope it all comes easy
I hope it all feels right
A dozen different candles
Light your bed tonight
And I hope it's never over
I hope it never ends
But when I go I hope that you
Will want me back again

'Cause this world, it's all around us
It's for real, it's not a game
And though hate and greed surrounds us
There's love in my veins

So hush now, do no more talking
My heart is heavy, it's a ragged stone
All I want is you with me walking
Because I can't walk alone
No I can't walk alone

And I hope that when we go
They take us someplace good
We can all be kids in common neighborhoods
And I hope we live together
The daughter and the son
And I hope they'll take me in
When my work upon this earth is done

Well I wish you loved in my arms
I wish that you would see
How time says love expires
Not me, not me
Not me, not me
Not me
