JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 10/3/2006 5:01 PM
I have been trying to think of memories that may represent a long trek through the desert that resulted in brain damage. The first “memory” that came to mind was on the Taylor in, I guess, 1985. I was assigned to the Bosun locker, which was at the very front end of the ship, under the top side deck. We were down in the Caribbean and it got very hot in there, along with the constant rolling of the deck, which was more pronounced there at the front of the ship. I remember feeling dizzy, but I also feel as though it was worse than that, but I can’t remember. I remember BM1 telling me to not spend as much time working in there when it gets that hot and to go sit for a while on the mess decks which I think were air conditioned.
Those pictures of me playing the guitar. I was wearing a t-shirt under a plaid flannel shirt that had the words “Ass Kicking Southern Rock” on it. That has got to mean I was good a playing the guitar in reality. I also remember minor occurrences of playing the piano. These must be “Tapestry” style memories. I remember one time when I bought a piano keyboard that connected to my computer and I was going to teach myself to play the piano. That was when I was living in the apartment off Dresden Avenue in Charlotte, which was just off Independence Boulevard. As with a “Tapestry” style memory, I never did follow through and learn how to play.

I'm waiting for some gratitude.

BILLY JOEL
"Piano Man"
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say "Man what are you doing here?"
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

HARRY CONNICK, JR.
"Frosty The Snowman"
Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale, they say
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic
In that old silk they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
Dns the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away"
Down to the village
With a brooomstick in his hand
Running here and there, all around the square,
Sayin', "Catch me if you can"
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment
When he heard him holler, "Stop!"
Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
He'll be back
Yes he will
Again someday
See you next year Frosty!
