FRANKIE VALINDA GHEE

My master plan is to start playing outside around 6:30pm and stay until 8:30pm or so.  If I need to relocate, I’ll post it here and on twitter.

There is room to loiter, so feel free to come and hang out a bit.

Tonight I had a very enjoyable 100 minutes playing and singing outside of the South Hill Rite Aid and Jimmy John’s.  I tried a couple of new pieces that went well. 

My goal right now is to get my business cards in the hands of people who will enjoy my website and even better into the hands of people who want to hire me to sing.

If you are one of those who stopped by, know that I very much appreciate having an audience and love the brief conversations I get to have with people after the song is over

Come on by if you have a moment. Bring a chair if you like. Bring a friend.

Fitness Fanatics

There is an exclusive health club on Spokane’s South Hill.  Only a few elite fitness fanatics are allowed to join, and only they are aware of its existence.  This lucky handful of extremely athletic men and women have a few things in common.

ONE: Each of these grunting, sweaty tank top and bootie short sporting gym treats has dedicated on a regular basis at least three hours a day, six days a week to working on achieving, perfecting, or maintaining a physical presence that is worthy of awe.

TWO: These workout freaks are chiseled, cut to perfection, lean, ripped and bouncing a coin off their six pack abs-toned.

THREE: Every single one of this special health club’s devoted enthusiasts has taken the pursuit of physical magnificence to the most extreme levels including abusing at least three supplements never to be approved by the FDA.

FOUR: All of these faithful, single-minded souls were recommended by a member in good standing who vouched for them, guaranteeing the required levels of vanity, masochism and dedication necessary to achieve consistently impressive results.

FIVE:  Every last one of these steroid popping, cleanly shaven, oiled up, energy drink junkies…is dead.

SIX:  They all lived well and died happy.

For them…this is heaven.

What a great night to play music.  It took me an extra 20 minutes to get to Huckleberry’s tonight because of all the road construction, but it was worth the trouble.  I got to sing for some really cool people of all ages.  I even had one of my 6 year old audience members dancing. 

 With the weather staying so warm, it is easier to play in the evenings, so look for me tomorrow evening somewhere.  I’m thinking I’ll head back up the south hill around 6:30 or 7:00pm.  I would love it if you came by.

Had a great time singing outside today. Very nice people stopped by to listen.

Love has a name

And it is old and wise like winter time

I holds the ancient spirits of water, of earth and of fire

At the dawn of time

Souls were bonded

As was yours to mine

We are forever

Love has a name

And it floats young and free on a summer breeze

It holds the hope of youth and joy of unending spring

Each time I look on you

I start a new life

You give your heart to me

And I breathe with you

Love has a name

And it is constant, faithful, ever changing and right

It holds exhilaration of morning and calmness of night

A tie that binds all life

Holds us together

The universe designed

We are together

I see myself in you

I see myself in you

We are the same

I see that we are complicated

Judgmental and kind

We are the same

I am proud of you because we are of the same universe

If you win or suffer

We all do

I see myself in you

I see that we are vain and childish

We are full of life and we are joyful

We are the same

Because we share the same universe

Here I am up on the stage
