Billy Swan, I Can Help
If you got a problem, don't care what it is
If you need a hand, I can assure you this
I can help, I got two strong arms
I can help
It would sure do me good, to do you good
Let me help
It's a fact that people get lonely, ain't nothing new
But a woman like you, baby should never have the blues
Let me help, I got two for me
It would sure do me good, to do you good
Let me help

IP Man
Watched, the Movie,'IP MAN 2'..on, Netflix, Yesterday,enjoyed, it.
Then watched, the original, 'IP MAN',another,couple, of,rubbish,American,Movies,which, I,stopped,
looking at, after, about,ten,minutes.
and, a Chinese,'Bio-pic', called,'Young Bruce Lee'.
Funnily,enough,a young,Bruce Lee,appeared, in,IPMAN.
The ridiculous Premise, that, a European Boxer, could,defeat, a Chinese Martial arts Master,in,combat,was, drawn, out,and,very,difficult, for,Me, to,consider.
However, as, a Metaphor, for, suffering,it, is, most, excellently,made.
Europeans,[The , foreign,'Devils], and, Chinese, [The 'Savages','Chinks', etc], both, cause, enormous,
harm, through, their, lack, of, understanding, Compassion.
European Imperialism, and, expansion, was, echoed, in, Japanese,Militarism.
The driving force, behind, Nationalism, is, always,Desire.
The IPMAN,knew, that,his,life, of, training,in, Wing Chun,style, was, pre-ordained.But, even,He,
was,unaware,of, just, exactly,why,suffering, arises, until, the,old Apothecary,showed, him,that,
everything, is,changeable, through, seeking, Compassion, then,the IPMAN,began, to,learn,that, the,
Master, must, always, learn, from, his, Students,and,Compassion,is, teaching, them, all.
There, is, a lot, of, talk, about, 'Pride', 'Honour', and, other,foolishness, in, the IPMAN ..
the inevitable result, would, be, Sorrow.
I, was, interested, to learn, that,Bruce Lee's, father, was, a ,traditional,Chinese,Theatre,Stage Actor, and, 'PHOENIX', was,
his,name, for,his, son.I, did, not, know, that,Bruce, began, his,Movie, career, as, a Stuntman...
In, the Movie, 'Enter The Dragon', the opening,scenes, show, Bruce, as, a Shaolin Monk ,
teaching, his, students, about, 'Finger to Moon', Zen,quotes.
Bruce ends, up,fighting, the 'Han Man', who, is, dressed,almost, exactly, like, the IPMAN,in,a,
kind, of, 'Chairman Mao', suit.....again, as, before, as, a Metaphor, for, suffering, it, is, most, excellently, made..the 'Han', of, course, being, the Ethnic Majority, who, suffered, under, Imperialist,adventurers..
Bruce, in, his, Yellow and Black, Suit, being, the , 'defiled', or,'lower Caste',idea, of, the westernized,
Asian worker.
The IPMAN, in,his,youth, went, to, a European School, in, Hong Kong, called, 'St Stephens',and, left,
after, his, studies, ended, on, friendly, terms, with, his,Teachers.
[that, was, the best bit, of, the Movie, for,Me]..This, education,would, eventually, benefit, his,community,
and, his, country,and, would, enable, misunderstandings, of, a linguistic,nature, to, be, overcome.
One, scene, of, particular, interest, for,me, was, the, Japanese Sargeant , of, the Imperial Army,
claiming, he, just, wanted, to, go home, to,visit,his,Mother's, grave,and, was, only, following, orders,
as, all Japanese,Soldiers,were,sworn, to, die, before, disgracing, themselves.
These, Asian brothers,Japan, and,China, were,suffering, from,linguistic,misunderstanding, of, the,
true,nature, of, compassion..Perhaps,their,Mother's, should, have,sent, them,TO, the IPMAN.?.
or, maybe, the IPMAN,
like, all, of, us.. just,had, to eat...Dude.

MIRACLES - MY GIRL HAS GONE (TAMLA)
been, a majorly, stressful,week,for,Me.
Met,up, with, a couple, of,really,great,young people,for, a coffee,and, was, delighted, that, they, had,
found,each other.Felt,a bit, of, a rat,having, to leave, ther company, but,I,had, to get,home,because,
my dog, was, locked, in,the kitchen, and, was,fretting.No-one likes,being,in,confinement,for, too long..
We, all, got, to get, some fresh air, get out,in, the open,and,just play.
My wife,Claire, is,one, of, a family, of,eight, girls..no boys...seven, are,still,alive,...but, one,Her,
biggest,Sister,Olivia, is,dead.
She was, an, alcoholic, and,left,four kids.They,all,have kids,and,grandkids.
Olivia, was, drunk,senseless, on,My wedding, day, and,I,had, to carry,her, home, to,my,mums,
house,in,my,wedding suit, whilst,she, was,unconscious.
I,have,big,shoulders, and,have,carried,carried,many,heavy,burdens,over,the..years.
but,I,always, get,people,home,by,any,means,I,can.
Got,the news.yesterday, that,Linda,another, of,Claires,sisters,is,making, a good,recovery, after,
five hours, of, surgery, to repair, a thyroid,problem, that, has, badly, affected,her,health.
She,is,great,full,of,fun,and,smart, as,anything,with,puzzles, and,stuff, but,she, had,her,heart,broken,once,
and,I,never,forgot, the look, on,her,face, when, she,told,me,her,marriage, was,over, and,burst,into,tears.
She,remarried,one,my,mates,and,I,was,delighted,when,They had, their,child,Erin, twenty, years, ago.
Claire,is,putting, our,Christmas Tree,right now, and,I've, got, to pop, out, for, a bit, of, shopping, later.
I,will be working,tonight, again,party season, is, upon, us,but,these,days, I,never,work, on, a Sunday.
My daughter,Katy, went, out, to a works party,last night, and, stayed over, with, some friends,
for,someone,who has, a phone stuck to her ear,most, of, the time,She doesn't phone home often,enough, to let us,know, where She is, but, what, can I do?..she's, 30 now, and,lives,her,own, life.
you,never,stop,worrying, about, your, kids, ever..and,just,knowing, they are safe, is, all,any, parent,wants.
Had first,puker of, the year, last,night, in, cab..nothing,unusual, for,me, I've had people,doing, everything, you,can,think, of, in, my cab, including,every bodily function.I'm, pretty much,unshockable....
I've,dealt, with, deaths, in,the family,held,my mums hand, as She died, from, the bastard,Cancer,
and,heard,My, big,Sister,weeping,as, she told,Me, My Dad, had, died, of, a sudden,heart Attack.
I've, listened, to,Aunties,telling, about,suicides, My cousin,Howard,killed,himself,years, ago..
I've, heard,one, of,my,nieces, is, a lesbian, another, nephew, is,gay,and,I've, heard,people tell,me,about, horrific injurys,drunken fathers,cheating,wives, and,practically,anything, you, can, think, of...
but,you, know, something?.I,really, enjoy, a coffee, now,and, then.....
Got, to leave,off, now, the dogs, got, a plastic squeaky chicken, in, his, mouth, and, is, looking,
for, his, walkies...catch you soon..oh! and Happy Christmas! ho ho ho.! ..very best wishes.
Love, is all around, us.

Dance of the Cuckoos - Laurel & Hardy Theme
Laurel and Hardy...never surpassed..why?..because,like, a lot, of, Comic Actors..they, took,
Their,Acting,seriously....[You ,can ,see,most, of, the Scenes,in, this,Vid, repeated, in,other,Movies,
time, and,again, 'Ear Biting', etc, in,Tarantino's, 'Resevoir dogs', or, 'The Coens,Movies..etc..]..
I,was, listening, to, the Radio, last night, about, the, up-coming, Oscar, Ceremony, in,February..
seems, that, Sylvester Stallone, is, getting, rave reviews, for, His, new, Movie, 'Creed'...
and, is, in,line, for, a Best Actor, Award...[He, already,has, an,Oscar, forWriting, a Screenplay]..
Sylvester, put, His, faith, in, a young,Scriptwriter..to revive, His, Career...and,I'm, betting,
that, He,gets, the Pay-Off..
The comedy team of Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy did win an Academy Award for best short subject, comedy for their 1932 short film “The Music Box” but that went to the film's producer Hal Roach. Laurel also received an honorary Oscar in 1961 after Hardy's death but together or apart they were never nominated.
maybe, the Cuckoo, waltzed?..right over, the nest...

Saigon 2015
eight, more, weeks..and, I'm,going, there!..
Giác Lâm Pagoda (Vietnamese: Chùa Giác Lâm; chữ Hán: 覺林寺, Giác Lâm tự) is a historic Buddhist pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City, the largest city in Vietnam. Built in 1744, it is one of the oldest temples in the city. It was officially listed as a historical site by the Vietnamese Department of Culture on November 16, 1988 under Decision 1288 VH/QD.[1] The pagoda is located at 118 Lạc Long Quân, in the 23rd ward of Tân Bình district, in the Phú Thọ Hòa region of the city.[1] It stands on Cẩm Sơn, and is also known as Cẩm Đệm and Sơn Can.
It was built by Lý Thụy Long, a native of Minh Hương, in the spring of 1744, i.e., during the season of the Vietnamese new year, during the reign of Nguyễn Phúc Khoát of the Nguyễn Lords, then the ruling family of southern Vietnam. The history chronicles of Gia Định, the then name of the settlement that later became Saigon and then Ho Chi Minh City, written by Trịnh Hoài Đức describes the area as being quite undeveloped at the time, with dense foliage resembling a jungle. The area was surrounded by flower gardens. In its formative years, the temple was a gathering place during the Tết new year and the temple was a scenic lookout on a hill overlooking the Gia Định markets.[1]
In 1772, Thích Viên Quang of the Lâm tế Zen lineage arrive to become the abbot of the temple. From then on, the temple was known by its current name of Giac Lam

THE DEER KING
Not far away, another herd of deer was watched over by another golden deer named Branch. In the tall grass and shadows of the deep forest, the two herds lived in peace.
One day, the King of Benares was out on a hunt and spied the beautiful green forest where the deer lived. "What a perfect hunting ground!" he declared and into the forests he dashed with his thousands of hunters and came upon the two herds of deer. Without a moment's hesitation, he notched an arrow in his bow. Suddenly he spotted the two golden deer. Never had he seen such beautiful creatures! "From this day on," he commanded, "No one is to harm or kill these golden deer."
Thereafter, he came to the forest everyday and killed more deer than was needed for his dinner table. As the weeks went by, many deer were wounded and died in great pain.
Finally Banyan Deer called the two herds together, "Friends, we know there is no escape from death, but this needless killing can be prevented. Let the deer take turns going to the chopping block, one day from my herd and the next day from Branch's herd."
All the deer agreed. Each day the deer whose turn it was went to the chopping block on the edge of the forest and laid its head upon the block.
One day, the turn fell to a pregnant doe from Branch's herd. She went to Branch Deer and begged, "Grant that I be passed over until after my fawn is born. Then I will gladly take my turn."
Branch Deer replied, "It is your turn. You must go."
In despair, the poor doe went to Banyan Deer and explained her plight. He gently said, "Go rest in peace. I will put your turn upon another." The deer king went and laid his golden head upon the chopping block. A deep silence fell in the forest.
When the king of Benares came and saw the golden deer ready for sacrifice, his heart skipped a beat, "You are the leader of the herd," he exclaimed, "You should be the last to die!" Banyan Deer explained how he had come to save the life of the doe.
A tear rolled down the cheek of the king. "Golden Deer King," he exclaimed. "Among men and beasts, I have not seen one with such compassion. Arise! I spare both your life and hers.
"So we will be safe. But what shall the rest of the deer do?" "Their lives I shall also spare." "So the deer will be safe, but what will the other four-footed animals do?" "From now on they too will be safe." "And what of the birds?" "I will spare their lives." "And the fish in the water" "The fish shall be spared- all creatures of the land, sea, and sky will be free."
Having saved the lives of all creatures, the golden deer raised his head from the chopping block and returned to the forest.

Liverpool [Kirkby] Group,from,'79, I,wonder, what, happened, to Them?..
Monday 16 November 2015
NORTHERN SOUL - CHARADES - 'THE KEY TO MY HAPPINESS'
The MGM CHARADES were formed with a different line-up when the original
1950/60's Doo-wop group, who had planned a comeback, were reluctant to
sign a new contract. This prompted the record label to work with a
mysterious new act based in New York.
However, when soul singer DeanCourtney moved from RCA records to MGM,
he mentioned that John T MacJunior had been running The Charades. The same group may be linked with the Charades that recorded 'You're With Me All The Way'/'Power Of Love'
on the Mercury label in 1965 -both sides written by J. Mack.
Robert Pruter's 'Chicago Soul' book, explains that only a few Chicago acts in the 60's appeared on Mercury.
Theproducer credited on the label is Tom Wilson -best known for his work
in the 1960s with Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, Simon and Garfunkel and The
Velvet Underground. Arranged and conducted by Horace Ott.
The Charades recorded two 45's for MGM Records;
'Key To My Happiness/'Weeping Cup' (66) written by Robert Gerald Maxwell
'I Don't Want To Lose You'/'Never Set Me Free' (66) written by Maxwell flip Rhodes-Casey
'Can'tMake It Without You'/'Love Of My Life' also recorded by the Charades
(Okeh Records) 1964 -arranged and conducted by Horace Ott.
'YouBetter Believe It'/'Darling Believe Him' also by the Charades (Harlem
Hitparade) Woodbury, New York 1973. Distributed by Pickwick Records,
this is a much earlier recording -again, written by Horace Ott.
"From the very first bars of the piano and drums this is Northern Soul at its
very best, with heart pleading vocals, accompanied by tight group
harmonies and brass. 'Keys To My Happiness' just gets better as it goes
along. Perfect for dancing to."
As far back as 1973, the Charades track was being featured at the Pendulum Club in Manchester.

NORTHERN SOUL - THE TEMPESTS - 'SOMEDAY'
TEMPESTS hailed from, or around, Charlotte, North Carolina. The groupwas first set up by two brothers Mike and Roger Bunch. In 1968, "Would
You Believe!" album was released on the Smash label, a subsidiary of
Mercury records.
At the time of this release, the Tempests consistedof ten members. The leader singer and co-songwriter of 'Someday' wasHazel Martin Jr. (1936-2008). He had a powerful and distinctive voice,
described by some with "an unforgettable, honey-soaked voice".
'Someday',and other tracks featured on the album, became highly sought after in
the early 1980's on the Northern-Rare Soul scene.
The track was featuredregularly on DJ Guy Hennigan's top twenty at Top of the World,
Stafford. Initial plays of the record in 1983 required the traditional
practice of 'covering-up'. Consequently, the artist was introduced for a
brief time as 'Bobby Paris!'The Tempests also figured prominently in the Carolina Beach scene.

ARMISTICE DAY
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead man naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.

BOB KANE,JEWISH INVENTOR,OF, BATMAN
Early life and work
Robert Kahn was born in New York City, New York. His parents, Augusta and Herman Kahn, an engraver,[1] were of Eastern European Jewish descent.[2] A high school friend of fellow cartoonist and future Spirit creator Will Eisner,[3] Robert Kahn graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School and then legally changed his name to Bob Kane.[4] He studied art at Cooper Union before "joining the Max Fleischer Studio as a trainee animator in 1934".[5]Comics
He entered the comics field two years later, in 1936, freelancing original material to editor Jerry Iger's comic book Wow, What A Magazine!, including his first pencil and ink work on the serial Hiram Hick.[6] The following year, Kane began to work at Iger's subsequent studio, Eisner & Iger, which was one of the first comic book "packagers" that produced comics on demand for publishers entering the new medium during its late-1930s and 1940s Golden Age. Among his work there was the funny animal feature "Peter Pupp" — which belied its look with overtones of "mystery and menace"[6] — published in the U.K. comic magazine Wags and reprinted in Fiction House's Jumbo comics. Kane also produced work through Eisner & Iger for two of the companies that would later merge to form DC Comics, including the humor features "Ginger Snap" in More Fun Comics, "Oscar the Gumshoe" for Detective Comics, and "Professor Doolittle" for Adventure Comics. For that last title he went on to do his first adventure strip, "Rusty and his Pals".Batman
Bill Finger joined Bob Kane's nascent studio in 1938. An aspiring writer and part-time shoe salesperson, he had met Kane at a party, and Kane later offered him a job ghost writing the strips Rusty and Clip Carson.[9][10] He recalled that Kane
...had an idea for a character called 'Batman', and he'd like me to see the drawings. I went over to Kane's, and he had drawn a character who looked very much like Superman with kind of ... reddish tights, I believe, with boots ... no gloves, no gauntlets ... with a small domino mask, swinging on a rope. He had two stiff wings that were sticking out, looking like bat wings. And under it was a big sign ... BATMAN.[10]

Well hello there
My, it´s been a long, long time
How i´m doing?
I guess i´m doing fine
It´s been so long now
Yet it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain´t funny how time slips away
How's your new love?
I hope he´s doing fine
Heard you told him
That you´d love him till the end of time
Now, that´s the same thing that you told me
Oh it seems like just other day
Gee, ain´t funny how time slips away
Gotta go now
Guess i´ll see you around
Don´t know when though
Never know when i´ll be back in town
But remember what i tell you
That in time you´re gonna pay
And it´s surprising how time slips away
My, it´s been a long, long time
How i´m doing?
I guess i´m doing fine
It´s been so long now
Yet it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain´t funny how time slips away
How's your new love?
I hope he´s doing fine
Heard you told him
That you´d love him till the end of time
Now, that´s the same thing that you told me
Oh it seems like just other day
Gee, ain´t funny how time slips away
Gotta go now
Guess i´ll see you around
Don´t know when though
Never know when i´ll be back in town

Odour of Chrysanthemums D. H. Lawrence
The Isolation of the Human Soul
As Elizabeth tends to Walter’s body, Lawrence writes that she feels “the utter isolation of the human soul,” and this sense of isolation permeates the entire story.The Nature of Love
The nature of love between mother and child and between husband and wife stand in sharp contrast to each other in “Odour of Chrysanthemums.” Although she is often short with them, Elizabeth clearly loves her children, John and Annie. She protects them from Walter’s indiscretions whenever she can and shields them from seeing his dead body. When she struggles to figure out how to carry on when she fears that Walter is dead, she understands that, first and foremost, she must worry about her children. Similarly, Walter’s mother indulges Walter’s weaknesses because he is her son, and her deep love for him overshadows his adult flaws. More complicated is Elizabeth’s relationship with her unborn child. It was conceived not out of love but out of a cold coupling between isolated individuals, and the child is described as “a weight apart from her” and “ice.” At this point, Elizabeth seems to connect the unborn child to her relationship with Walter rather than to her life as a mother. The baby seems less a part of her than a part of her distant relationship with Walter.The nature of love between Elizabeth and Walter is much darker than the love between Elizabeth and her two existing children. Little is left of their love, having been replaced by resentment, disgust, and anger, and not even physical intimacy can overcome the fact that they are “two isolated beings, far apart.” Neither spouse was willing to try to forgive or understand the other, and this inflexibility resulted in permanent estrangement. Until she ministers to Walter at the end of the story, Elizabeth seems unable to see Walter beyond her own disappointments. As she waits and waits for him, she berates herself for being a “fool” and says, “And this is what I came here for, to this dirty hole, rats and all, for him to slink past his very door”—neglecting entirely any love that may have once existed between them and that drew her into the marriage.

Gene Vincent Looking Back
Today,John Lennon, would, have, been, 75 , and, last,night,I,was, listening, to some Guy, on, the Radio,
talking, about, a new Documentary, about, the, last, Day,in, His,life.
[Lennon, had,just, been, to,a BarberShop, in, N.Y.C, and, was, sporting, a 'Teddy Boy', Hairstyle,which,
it, would, appear, was, His, 'Style', as, a Youth, here, in,Liverpool.]
In, Their, early,days, The 'Beatles', were, influenced, by, American, 'Rockabilly',Type,Groups,
such, as, Gene Vincent,and, the 'BlueCaps'...Eddie Cochran,'Little Richard', Chuck Berry, etc..
Vinyls,were, hard, to, come, by, in, Liverpool,in,those, days.
They, had, to,be, individually, ordered, from, the Manufacturers.
So,Music-mad,Lennon, I'm, sure, would, have,known,Record Store,Owner, Brian Epstein, long, before,He, signed, up, the 'Beatles'.
He, did, after, all, live, 'just, around ,the Corner',in,His, Aunt Mimi's,House,
on, Menlove Avenue, from, the Epstein,Home, on, Queens Drive...
Lennon's,real, Dad,a Sailor,had,deserted, His,Mother,when,He, was, an, Infant..
but,Sailors, were, bringing,more, than,Vinyl Records,covertly, into, Liverpool's, 'Black Market', economy..
New York City, Marijuana, Homosexual, Jewish,Managers..and, a 'Thug/Bully',Scouser?..
from, a broken Home?..The 'QuarryMen?'..or, the 'Silver Beatles?'..
Lennon, knew,Epstein,long,before, the 'Beatles', were, formed?..Methinks,
a bit, of,'Rough Trade', was, ongoing..but, who, cares, anyway? not, Me, Amigo..
Lennon, was, the 'Great Pretender'.
Gene Vincent, of, course, died, in,His,Mother's arms, in,California....but,His, influence,on, the,
History, of, Rock Music, cannot, be,understated.
'Race with the Devil', was, another, of,Gene's, hits...against all odds...
and, of, course, 'Be Bop, a-Lula', remains,one, of,the, all-time, greats....
a, 'Gretsch',Guitar,and, a pair, of, Cowboy Boots....
John Lennon, was, no, Angel,and, no, 'Working Class, Hero',
but, His,broken-home,disruptive,upbringing,somehow, created,an, amazing,
Songsmith, and, an, underrated, Cartoonist...
and,Maybe,the Heroin Addict, 'Hair-Peace' ....?.Lover...
"In their first interview for a major British publication, London's Evening Standard, journalist Maureen Cleave mentioned their 'weird' hair: "French styling, with the fringe brushed forwards." But it barely raised any attention in the British media.
However, it caused a sensation when the Beatles arrived in America in 1964. The affectionate term 'Moptops' was created and almost every comedian in the country cracked gags about their hair style. Hundreds of thousands of Beatles wigs were manufactured and it eventually led to the American youth growing their hair longer than had been previously acceptable for a young male."

If I had my life to live over, I'd try to make more mistakes next time. I would relax. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I ...
