It’s September 30th, 2024; We have an original rock song for anyone who’s felt like their heart has been chained up by love. My husband, ranks right up there (in my opinion) as a superb songwriter, much like (we feel) Kris Kristofferson was a great songwriter. Bubba Hudson kicks this rocks song home with his best vocals. And Steven Cooper of Nashville, TN put an amazing effort in on this rock production too!

Here’s the two-hundred-seventy-fourth new music post for 2024, as I speak about one of the greatest songwriters, Kris Kristofferson. My heart is sad today, reading about his passings when I woke up this morning. Kris was driven by music but sort of fell into acting. Yes, I know he lived a good long life, and got to do a vast range of things, but what a loss! I’m sad because I feel I’ve known Kris (through his songs) my whole life!

Yes, I rate my husband, Richard Murrey, right up there with Kris Kristofferson as a great songwriter. I think both of these fine men write such profound songs because they have lived a myriad of life experiences. And yes, education plays a big part too, in their ability to craft story songs, and turn a phrase.

Richard asked me how old Kris was, when I told him Kris had passed. And the first song he spoke of was Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down. I knew Kris had written a lot of songs, but I hadn’t remembered that one until Richard reminded me. I have several favorites.

Celebrating a wonderful life

I always loved, Me and Bobby McGee. Maybe because my dad, grandfather, and uncle were truck drivers and I could always relate to it in that way, or later, because I moved around (and transplanted myself) so much. I don’t know, but Kris’ words in that story song, and the way Janis Joplin sang it, always moved me–always touched my heart.

Here’s Kris singing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahpIirW0svY

And here’s Janis’ cover of it: https://youtu.be/sfjon-ZTqzU?si=xpjLq6I7QJNdn2OO

Speaking of transplanting, here’s a photo of the herbs I transplanted/repotted, to be able to bring into the house before it gets too cold for them outside. I will leave some in the wood herb box hanging from the deck to see how they do over the winter as a test. I know parsley has grown well for me all winter in Florida, but in New England? I’m just not sure it will hang on through the winter to return in the spring. I will bring all of these in and put them in front of the windows upstairs. We’ll see how it goes! I also repotted my Florida orchid and a succulent I bought here recently.

Not to complain, but I also read of Drake Hogestyn’s passing this morning. I wasn’t sure I’d like him when he took over for the previous actor as Roman Brady/John Black on Days of our Lives in 1986. I’d been watching Days since I was a teen (along with my mom, who loved it), and even had the show on while I was in labor at the hospital for both of my children! I had watched that particular soap opera for over 30 years, until Richard broke me of the habit after we got married. (Yes, I actually made him watch it with me too during our first year together! Ha!). I warmed up to Drake’s portrayal of John Black though and felt he and Marlena had a beautiful love affair. Here’s what Soap Opera Digest had to say on Drake’s passing: https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/days-of-our-lives-superstar-drake-hogestyn-john-dies-at-70/

Everything happens for a reason

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24!

Yours in expanding, heavenly, spiraling consciousness,

    1. Ah, yes, that’s me integrating everything. Yes, so sad about his passing. I will also be sad when Willie Nelson goes because I feel it’s the end of an era. 🥹🥲
      I know what you mean about not hearing Kris perform Bobby McGee before as it just became so synonymous with Janice. I agree, RIP. ❤️🙏💙

      2. I hear you, but that’s what I do. I pre-pave mostly in positive ways, things that are inevitable to happen. It actually helps me appreciate the people NOW more, and wring all the happiness out of my experience with them that I can while they are in my experience (if that makes sense). It has helped me grieve less when they are gone.
