.....Screamin' Jack, alas, hit 18-wheeler-Peterbilt truck rubber-discard, went DOWN; hospitalized, later to die. Jackie? Later, involved in a SHOTGUN HOMICIDE; " morte"! Sadly, an accidental victim of insanity.
Their SIX kids? The Biker Community gathered...and took care of the NEED.

Jack & Jackie picked me up, hitch-hiking, outta J-ville to L.A.?
Jack to Jackie: "Can we KEEP him?" (Me?) "
Jackie: "He's ENGLISH and he has a guitar? Dang! He'll educate the KIDS!!!"
And so it went.

(dedicato: Marques Visconti/Mary Hopkins)


(Singin'): "Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end? We'd sing, play guitar, for-ever and a Day? We'd live the Life we choose, we'd fight and never lose (frick da WORLD!) -Tomorrow never comes!"

Now? Now? Older? I sit in the "lonesome Cafe", all my friends are either DEAD or disappeared? No Ghost-E-mail to warm the "cockles" of my heart, but still -an echo reappears?

(Singin'): "THOSE were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end? We'd sing, play guitar, for ever and a DAY? -We'd live the Life we choose, we'd fight and never lose (YO-MOMMA!); Tomorrow...never comes!"

.....Tell your "kiddoes", there's no "Desperado." Sing out their songs, written for THEIR day? And Hearts -unchanging... and Love: Eternal? But...now, let me sleep and Dream...of that golden yesterday?

(SINGIN'): "Those were the days mah friend, we thought (will we ever get a REAL JOB?), we'd sing, play POWER CHORDS, ever and a day? We lived the Life to lose, broke a few heads in the Bar; knowin' all too well, tomorrow - alas - never comes. " Tra-la-la...:)

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ THE SUNDOWNERS: "Bonny -of da Fields."

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/The Sundowners: "Bonny -of the Fields."


"Bonny of da fields"...got a pet DAWG (piccolini), chaperone's her where ever she goes; once had a drug problem (not the dog, Bonny?) but now she's strictly "Rock & Roll": Where, just where ..does Bonny go/sleep at night, every night, Winter-rain or snow? And? JEEZE!!! " Where DOES she get those "designer" frickin'  clothes!?

...Ask the DAWG. He's the only one who knows.

"Bonny o' da Fields"; she once had a Life; her MA-Pappa, sista's...and then SHE had a WIFE-who died: Didn't fail,  it just didn't work out. No need for "twist & shout" -from Vinyl to CD, and then to YOU and me? Just SO: Bonny. Bonny.

"Bonny of the Fields"; she's gotta pet DAWG (his name is Scotch-Whisky). Bonny of da Fields -she's  ALIVE...and has a Life.

Singing: "YOU take the high road and I'll take the LOW road
 but I'll be in Scotland before Ya!
 But mee and mah true love
 will never meet again
 on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomand!..."

Maybe you'll see Bonny sometime? ... in Roma-Santa-Monica, London or gay Paree? ...Bonny, Bonny; "Bonny of the Fields"... she's alright by me.

"..LONELY PANINI."


SHE
sittin' lonesome?
SHE
sitting "Frazzante!"
-looks older than her years?

HE
sitting-"CAFE GRECO",
eternal-ROMA; and I ponder
what makes it so?

...HE
doesn't drink;
just a "caffe" and
a lonely Panini?

SHE
hangs her clothes
-washed to dry?
HE
he goes on home/"a casa"
-and lies to his wife?

SHE
will never again
speak of the Cavalier;
the Cavalier broods at home,
and anxiously paces...

SHE
too, paces?
-alone in her room.
Then tears out her hair
in lonesome Trastevere...
And later
to "nibble"
on yesterday's "Panini."

Days later?
HE
writes a song; his "Canzone"
FAMOUS!!!
...SHE
will hear it
on a Juke-box in a Cafe-
Corso-Vittorio-E.:

Canzone: ""Lonely Panini."
Canzone;: "Lonely Panini."

....NINE months later;
SHE
gives birth to a boy-child.
The child  is Christened, "Panini."

HE
will never know
his son, his boy?
And?
SHE
left with a cold heart
only a Madre can know?...

.......... (Aspeto, Amici/readers?)

...SHE
sittin' lonesome?
SHE
sitting "Frazzente!"
-looks older than her years?

HE
sitting, "Cafe Greco",
-eternale ROMA;
And I ponder, yet conceive...
just what makes it so...

...I connected with an "old flame"/old girlfriend... and she exclaimed: "Dave! I thought U were DEAD?"; Yet just one "old flame" that I can now put to bed.

I connected (damn inter-net!) with an "old flame" in Cologne; disinterested voice; she thought I was in Singapore or, better still, England, my home? -Yet just ONE more "old flame" that I can NOW put to bed.

I TRIED to connect with an "old flame" but found she had died, alone, no friends to re-call her name?
Her kisses? Yes. So sweet, where Love has no name?
She, now, sleeps with me. A ghost of my illusions...every night.
