Rough Cuts, Take One

tl;dr get your Kay Buena CDs from Amazon before June

When we re-released the three MP3.com Kay Buena CDs in 2018 and released Rough Cuts, we used CreateSpace to manufacture the CDs and list them on Amazon. Amazon owned CreateSpace and then supplanted CreateSpace with Amazon Media on Demand. This year, Amazon announced the imminent closing of Media on Demand. To encourage you to purchase the Kay Buena CDs from Amazon while this is still possible before June, we have dropped the prices dramatically, from $16.99 to $7.99.

In addition, we’ve released a replica of the “Sweet Baby Blues” EP CD that contains the six most popular Kay Buena tracks on MP3.com in May 1999.

Oh my good friend, I see you are troubled
I know it’s hard to get along, but you get by
You just can’t change the way the world will go tomorrow
No matter, how hard you try

Don’t get me wrong, I wish that I could know the answer
I’ve been looking for a reason to explain
The way that love becomes a thief with the possession
Of your body, your mind and your pain

Our happiness should be so easy, can’t you see it?
We should consider what went wrong when we feel pain
Our mind knows how to keep its fingers from the fire
But we just can’t keep our eyes off the flame

I know that life will always give you many blessings
There are so many reasons why you should be glad
And count the stars inside the darkness of the heavens
Oh love, please try not to be so sad

You saw a girl with the ghost of madness in her eye
You wanted to know why she looked that way but you were shy
And because you knew that secret kind of madness, too
Didn’t you, didn’t you?

You saw a girl with a gleam of passion in her eye
And you wanted to know why she felt that way but you knew why
And because you knew another kind of passion, too
Didn’t you, didn’t you?

Then time came and turned like a key in a lock
And love came dressed like death and asked you to dance
With your arm on my shoulder, sweet prince of the past
It was a rancid kind of rhythm, for old music lovers like us, for music lovers like us

I saw the boy with the ghost of madness in his eye
I wanted to know why he looked that way but I was shy
And because I knew another kind of madness, too
I was in love with you, I was in love with you

I saw the boy with the gleam of passion in his eye
And I wanted to know why he looked that way but I was shy
And because I knew a secret kind of passion, too
And because I was in love with you, I was in love with you

Then time came and turned like a pirouette
Then life came dressed like light and asked me to dance
With your arm on my shoulder sweet prince of the past
I hear your love song at last, at last, at last, your love song too

Oh ley-he-he-he, ah-le-oh-lay-he-he-he
D’yo-del-ay-he-he, d’yo-del-ay-hee

I just received your letter
You’re down and out, you say
At first I thought I would tell you
To travel on the other way

But in my memory lingers
All you once were to me
I’m going to give you another chance
To prove what you can be

Any old time you want to come back home
Drop me a line and say, no more you’ll roam
You had your chance to play the game fair
And when you left me, sweetheart you only left a load of care

Now that you’re down I’m going to stick by you
If you will only say your roaming days are through

You’ll find me here like the day you left me alone
Any old time you wanna come back home

You’ll find me right here like the day you left me alone
Any old time you wanna come back home, home, home

Any Old Time lyrics © Peermusic Publishing

Southern Belle, I know you well
Time and only you can tell
If they got you hypnotized
To believe the things you do
Living in a lonely cell
Wishing to a wishing well
Throw your pennies down to Hell
The reflection in the water is you

Look into your sorry eyes
Deep down you know they are wise
Though they’ve known their own disguise
They’ve seen a lot of good
Maybe they’re the only ones
To recognize the things they’ve done
And start to change, you’ve just begun
But if you only would

Roads and ways that have dead ends
Turn around and start again
But without the sufferin’
If you would learn them well
This is simple as it seems
It came to me in a dream
I hope you know what I mean
I know you well, Southern Belle

Rough Cuts, Take One

When I got the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 I had agreed to be part of a group of people they were trying to change our behavior, or attitude. But this was the Surface Pro 4 so they were still trying to do something of a psychological nature. Although I  was not part of the Explorer program anymore. Well, that doesn’t seem like such a big deal now, at the time I was disturbed. AS I am not too pleased to have my brain exchanged.

This is the more problematic situation. I was told that to have my painting on “Lady of the Highway,” on the record cover it  had to be part of the “creative commons” organization. Search this on Wikipediai:CreativeCommons. Basically this means any one can use this “CC’ image for any purpose  be it to make money or whatever other reason if they desire to do so. But there is a whole group of applicable rules to this. One of those rules where no one is allowed to deface or degrade the image; an example that I had to deal with : Some comedic individual thought it would be amusing to put the face of a dead cat on “The Lady of the Highway.” So, having broken those rules, I was upset enough to Call Amazon, where they were selling copies of this image with and without  the dead cat face.  It was my right to put a stop to this as the Artist.  However, then I go back and see what they are selling. No more Lady of the Highways (they listed it ,but said something to the effect as- ‘due to some problem they could not sell this’).  However. they decided to sell copies of ” The Dust Mite Diary” Which was NOT OFFERED UP AS A CREATIVE COMMONS work. Not only that but I did not notice they were paying me anything for any of my work and it was not their right to sell this. I worked long and hard on this one, I was thinking of offering them up as very elegant note cards of some thing. My Point here is They (?) are all out to use you so watch out. And Amazon; follow the rules, the only Creative Commons work I have is’ Lady of the Highway’, which you may sell, but not the one with the dead cat face. All of the other works are off limits.

OK, then; This is the big one I was told that Microsoft sold my Trade Marked Domain name “KayBuena” to a Movie producer.  This I really hope is the nasty rumored one but when I get this cleared up I will give notice of a change, because this is almost enough to pack it in, hire a really slick lawyer, and sue the world. Shut down my site. And take the next flight outa’ here.

Leave your memories with the falling leaves, all a brighter hue than the wind can do.
What we, can forget every thing we’ve met stays back with the past

More Great Joy can we take from the tree, fruit and fragrance free from sweet misery
Living harmony love we all have known – Falls like Autumn Leaves, Letters From the Lord.
