It is such a beautiful morning here in NYC. Watching the early morning light at dawn, I smiled as I watched my grandson,Tyler, sleep. Such peace, love, and resolve comes over me, as I anticipate his "Nana, Love you". This makes my day. I embrace tranquility even as I start another day of creativity and War; a balancing act to be sure. But one of focus and fierceness to reclaim stolen resources of my Music which I pass on to my family. You see Tyler is only three. But when the time comes, I want to be able to show the Music that "Nana" created, and the fight she continued to be paid for her just royalties!
Another reason to smile today: My friend Norman Conners told me of a great lawyer who recently won a million dollars for Billy Paul for his son, "ME AND MRS JONES". Boy, am I gonna call him now. Also, my friend Steve Popovich recently won his record case against Sony Records after having sold in excess of 45 million units of "MEATLOAF"; he discovered him. It was a long fight. But winning is all, even after many years!
Finally, I smile today for the beauty of Fall. And now Central Park beckons me for a bike ride, and all of the wonder and respite nature brings to my spirit. Trees and the Sea have been my constant Joys, even during a time of War. I still choose to be happy, choose Joy and claim "YES"!
