Welcome to my Blog

I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg

The Box

I am featuring a newer artist today whose Sussex wit gives out an ethereal quality. Johnny and his band are just beginning a tour in the Texan republic, look for them as they might cross your path soon. The song, "The Box" might be as simple as a poem about homelessness or more complex things, whatever Johnny meant, its catchy as he is being compared with Dylan and other poetic songwriters.

I almost forgot to post how wonderful the Big Climb was for myself, my son Mikhael, and wife Yvonne in the "Box" called the Columbia Tower. We started the climb towards the rear of the large team, making our way one glorious step at a time. Along the way there were inspirational posters of blood cancer survivors and those who we were climbing for. At about floor 50 I saw one for me. Every time I felt like slowing down or competing harder someone was there to calm or motivate me. Thank you again to the 60 or so brave souls who raised funds and brought us along with you. Live Happy
