you, you can be with me 
if you, if you please
and you, you can freeze with me
if you, if you please

you always said you wanted
nothing less than fame
well you may get it baby
and this time I'm to blame
the whiteout that you see
is what you see in me
so button up and eat
you're about to be set free

you, you can be with me 
if you, if you please
and you, you can freeze with me
if you, if you please

He was born in New York, on October 12, 1879, and died on February 29,1960. For the last almost 40 years of his life he lived at 37-35 94th Street, Jackson Heights (formerly Elmhurst)

Frank Walter's father, George, who died in 1905, was a cabinet maker, i.e., a maker of fine furniture. Frank Walter probably apprenticed with his father and in that process learned how to make fine furniture. This would explain why so much of Frank Walter's sculpture and carving involved structures that he designed and built. The decoration of furniture, etc., would have followed naturally from such an apprenticeship. His interest was Tudor architectural design and he attended The Cooper Union in New York, to expand his expertise in this area.

He was the President of his wood carvers union for nine years. He was an avid fisherman, loving to fish at Coney Island, in Brooklyn and at La Guardia Airport, which was just north of his home, in Jackson Heights. Below are a photo of Frank Walter in 1907, a family photo of Frank Walter, his wife Marie and children, on December 19, 1920, which is about the time the family moved to Elmhurst, a photo of Frank Walter dressed for work, a photo of Frank and Marie Walter taken in the mid 50's, and his death notice in the March 2, 1960, Long Island Star-Journal.

A. Bethany Lutheran Church

The church, which is located at 48-08 91st Place, Elmhurst, New York 11373-4027, was dedicated November 11, 1927. The church is Tudor in design. "Tudor" defines a period from 1485 until 1605, which is the last sub-period within the overall "Gothic" period.

Five common features of Tudor exterior design are:
1. Stucco facade,
2. Towers,
3. Rectangular windows,
4. Polychromatic masonry (the tower at the corner of the building, the front door, the side wall columns and side doorways are made of brick, granite and stucco), and
5. Stained glass windows (Only the two front windows were stained glass when the church was completed).

The stucco presently is in the process of repair, undercoating and painting with the front door painted the final gold color. The post card shows the church as completed without stained glass windows in the nave.

I've been down that road before you
but there's little i can say
when you reach the fork, just take it
because you know, its the only way
she already knows

weather it's up to me
to dress you up appropriately
i can take you to school
where you take it from there we'll see

in these drops are future rivers
in this rain are crops fulfilled
in these clouds are potent thunder
in their claps a glass half filled

second verse based on a Les Paul quote in NYTimes:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/14/arts/music/14paul.html?_r=1

when you're my age
and you know the end is in sight
how do you handle it?
you live for the moment
the past is gone
and the future isn't here yet
and you ain't gonna change it
no matter what you think
and so the most obvious thing to do is right now

(thanks for everything, Les Paul!)

The only song I've heard so far is "17 or 18 I Guess" off this album. But I like it!

Alas, he's really rather emo. But produced the way I imagine George Martin might have as a toddler. Very repetitive arrangements with little subtlety, but very nice instrumentation and the raw ideas are quite cool. But I couldn't help thinking "he's really a christian rock dude who crosses over to the cool". SURE ENOUGH! He has a bunch of xmas covers out there and the lord permeates his songs...heavily.

So I'll keep his Rubber Soul cover and leave the rest.

I - need cool waters
Cooler than about 72 degrees
I - get into trouble
I become stressed
and vulnerable to disease
and I’ll stop migrating

Spring chinook and summer steelhead
in the rivers today

Right this minute, salmon are OK.
But if the rest of the summer stays dry,
streams will become shallower.
If we have really hot weather,
then those stream temperatures can start heading toward stressful.

The stage is set
for a relative squeeze
on cold stream flow
Cold streams serve
both rearing juveniles
and migrating adults
of many salmon populations
that come in during late summer
and early fall

I - need cool waters
Cooler than about 72 degrees
I - get into trouble
I become stressed
and vulnerable to disease
and I’ll stop migrating

spent the day in the park
picnic and van gogh
took a stroll through the blue period
and potato eaters all

in amsterdam

poste restante
wait and you shall find
walking home through red lights
after too much wine

i loved those days
