Here is a quick shout out for more dates at the end of the month, I know I am playing backup cello and dumbek at Cantor Berlin's Friday Night Fusion service at the Parkway Jewish Center on Oct 22, and later that night hitting Shadow Lounge for a benefit for something Bob Ziller asked me to do, and then on Oct 23rd I am playing a private party for the Secret Society of Odd Acquisitions at Trundle Manor in Braddock/Swissvale.
I would love to see you at any and all of these, but if I can't, here is a poem til we see each other next. I wrote it for a 20 feet high deer head my friends associated with the Industrial Arts Co-op created some years ago at an abandoned steel mine in Rankin, PA.
by Phat Man Dee September 2010
"Rust never sleeps
And deer don't tell time
If you choose to make the journey
Do so clandestine
Through the valley of colored glass
Under earth and tunnel wide
Only go on Sunday
God's day of silence will provide
A secret time to wander
And catch up on the glee
A 20 foot tall deer head
A miracle to see
Some mad men built in quiet
A girl joined in the fun
They toiled there in secret
In snow time and sun
Once this land was bright
With industrial steel and smoke
Coke ovens fire union ire
Now the trees make joke
Of the passion that once tore up the land
And filled sky hell fire light
The profits to a few
Paid by sweat of workman plight
All those fights forgotten
As leaves crawl through the walls
A 20 foot high deer stands guard
Bringing nature back to these halls
For deer won't tell the time
And rust just never sleeps
So visit in secret if you must
Listen to the moss as it softly creeps. "
Til next time my beautiful inspirations,
Mandee
