Our Man in Europe/Belize, Dave Delacroix: "Jackie Blue!"

Lotta TUNES stick in your mind, Beethoven's Ode ta Joy, Sinatra's Strangers in the Night, and maybe JACKIE BLUE, song by the OZARK MOUNTAIN DAREDEVILS, a band outta Missouri? Their best rendition, incidentally, showcased on the BBC TV, Old Grey Whistle Test/U can google? JACKIE BLUE, original concept, some Drug Dealer in some Kansas Music Roadhouse, composed, the boys turned it (the song/concept) quite perfectly and put it in a Pop Song jar!

THESE LADS like Steeleye Dan, CSN&Y, America or the EAGLES would-a made it BIG TIME but HOLLYWOOD & MISSOURI don't mix, the BOYS pretty much in their "cups" when Hollywood "Bigshots" came to vivisect their potential? JACKIE BLUE. OK with Me & U. Hollywood, as usual, missed the BEAT!

 Our Man in Europe/Belize, Dave Delacroix: "Road to Damascus"

(dedicato Bengrang & Iranian Bros & Sistas! And David, Big MO & Sheba. Carol in Israel)

NOW WHEN I WAS A LUNATIC dealing with this LIFE, maybe kissing some Gal, when I was INSANE and thought all I knew from Paradise to Hell, the only ROUTE I knew, when I was a paragon of poetry & wine, when, like U, I sang only of the Divine, when I was some wannabee-Prophet/SO MANY, , babes at command who'd flock to my notoriety, maybe a catchy song, a fleeting glory upon the Stage where Magicians/Fakes/ABRCADRABA  I would CONZERT; a Devil, my death  I should have FORSEEN in Babylon? In Damascus, Death U know shadowed me.....HAFIZ-Poet to set me free?! Still, God's messenger, at some point, I received, When I was a LUNATIC, a Village Idiot, and innocence on my sleeve.  Who amongst the Angels in Christendom will hear me? Or in Islam, in sha-Allah, or a kaddish if I Now, a LUNATIC, on the road to Damascus, can I ask U for a cup of water?

 Our Man in Europe/Belize, Dave Delacroix: "The Devil's Dram!"

...DID U DINK the "Devil's Dram", bottom of the Whisky Keg before U expired? Did U get to KISS Love's desire, the ONE who kept U on the wire? Did U - no eye glass, see what U had before Love's-gaze-glazed? Did U dance madly before a crowd, madly, madly, madly? Did U rue the day, the day U were born before a Life-story of folly? A curse or a blessing, a sweet sad song, an inner hunger to belong? Did U drink the "Devil's Dram", bottom of the Whisky Keg? And did the "Devil's Dram" take over U?
