LIFE 101: WHAT MY MAMA TAUGHT ME.
By Danny Cohen

I never really understood how Mama Walker lived by herself for all those years. Then again, I never actually expected her to die either. But sadly that day came. My childhood housekeeper, Helen "Mama" Walker, passed away recently at the age of ninety nine…so I thought.

hello all,

merry christmas. the latkes were a smash! also, we had a hell of a jam going on in the garage. uncle luke was the ring leader. excellent stuff! special honorable mention to fiona mccormick for holding it down on the drums, great job keeping time. we also had a great little ukulele session going on at the end of the gathering. rock -n-roll coming up from the basement, people strumming and singing in the living room it was wonderful.

hello all,

we are making our way through chanukah and getting ready for christmas in our house. i am about to make a mountain of potato latkes to enjoy for the last couple of days of chanukah. i love making latkes. i enjoy cooking in general and am an able home cook. a couple of weeks ago, i rocked a pumpkin pancetta lasagna that was dyno.

hello folks,

we have been participating in that great family tradition, the family cold. nothing exotic to get worried or excited about. just a small tribe of humans moving in very slow motion. i think we are on the mend.

hey all,

back from my 25th high school reunion. wow. great time. saw the elusive dennis gannon. saw two kids i went to nursery school with. it was wonderful. sorry, to the new york mispucha i did not catch up with. i needed the whole trip to re-connect with my happyville roots. i owe you all some time together. hopefully, soon.

Tie my shoes with rainbows
Show me the magic dance
Lead me through some smooth moves
Give me a fighting chance

Touch me with the mystery
Help me to face the strife
Give all you have to teach me
Please, play with me the game of life

Day to day’s become a war
I’ve grown far too weary
I can’t take no more
Why of my friends must I be leery

I and I need One Love
All in one together
Want the sign of the white dove
Jah sun shine through the cloudy weather

Oh Day to day’s become a war
I’ve grown far too weary

Space Stream Racer
See the Jack Rabbit Run
Jack Rabbit Chaser
taking care of everyone

Easy little daydream
But the Rabbit's not amused
you just race along the Space Stream
it's the rabbit that's abused

panting for his breath
you laugh out loud
he flees certain death
you disappear in a cloud

Yes, the chase made lovely sport
but can you face the kill
what's his life worth
who will foot the bill

Space Stream Racer
you can ride it high
floating in luxury
what is the price

Thank you Rabbit Chaser

Easy little daydream
But the Rabbit's not amused
you just race along the Space Stream (as it used to be sung, not the original line in my notebook)
it's the rabbit that's abused

panting for his breath
you laugh out loud
he flees certain death
you disappear in a cloud

Yes, the chase made lovely sport
but can you face the kill
what's his life worth
who will foot the bill

hey all,

believe it or not this geebah keeps going. it needs another lip or, perhaps, this is just an independent lip. i guess we will let posterity decide.

see, i checked http://www.mattzekala.com/ when i began working on #11 and there wasn't a new song of the month up. however, by the time i got it out 2 days later, there was a new song of the month. i'd like everybody to have as many days as possible to check it out before december comes with a new song.

this one goes to 11... and beyond. sorry, couldn't resist. the geebah issue #11. i was prepared to tell you all about the great pumpkin lasagna and the great pumpkin enchilada but other things call. 25th anniversary/reunions are on my mind. of course, we are approaching the dreamspeak 25th anniversary. i am also going to be home over thanksgiving for my 25th high school reunion. the committee is putting out a memorial book for the folks who have passed.
