God is black
-Juliette Greco


This is a Leo Ferre song she did. The idea was that the black jazz artists of America were so divinely inspired, God must be black.

There was in Jimmy's throat
So much sun at three hundred bullets
Dreamy blues and whiskey
Just like in the bars in Pigalle

god is black

It's on the front page of the daily newspapers
It hurts diplomats
Jimmy saw him early in the morning
With a sax in your paws

god is black

It makes a noise all over the world
To make all the cemeteries dance
Organs in Saint-Germain-des-Prés
Lose the breath and the prayer

god is black

Armstrong is received by the President
He went there without his trumpet
They've been here for two days
It's more blues it's the storm

god is black

He has little silver hair
Which make the sky look like clouds
And in her throat there's plainsong
Like in bars in the Middle Ages

god is black

And down my Jimmy's throat
There's so much sun at three hundred bullets
Dreamy blues and whiskey
Just like in the bars in Pigalle

god is black

At the gray dawn and all' frost
Jimmy falls asleep in the gutter
By playing the trumpet' mouthful
In his bottle of Jericho

poor and skinny

I am doing OK, digging more of my veggie garden out, still haven't planted them, last week was in the 90's all week so too hot to dig and plant my garden, busy this past weekend, and finished the digging today. I will get them planted tonight or tomorrow. My son had to come over and find the outside water valve to turn it on, so I have water for the garden.
How are you and Jean doing?

Glad to see you gettin your garden started :bliss: all the work is worth doin when start eatin that wonderful garden food. It heated up early this year:(, and we've had no rain for some time, lookin like a drought here. Yup haveta have the water, it's a main nutrient;). I hope you are blessed with an abundant garden this year too.:)

We are hangin in there, Jean's Dr. yesterday said she'd haveta wear that drain/bag for another 2 months probably, still draining lots of infection outta it. On the lighter side I am gettin better at doin all the chores, she helps a little now on days that she feels better. My cookin has improved, well maybe not the taste so much but at least I haven't food poisoned either of us yet:eek: Other than that everything is goin, uh sorta alright:rolleyes:, thank you for askin my dear friend:hug:
