I’m working like gangbusters on the Albatross, which is coming along nicely but slowly. However, due to the existence of a real job, things on this website are either going to be either slow, video- and persiflage-oriented, or thin until this bird is off my neck. The appropriate song was recorded in 1972 by the Isley Brothers:

Superb record… There is also a great version by The Average White Band from 1974.
We understand that we just be sacrificed for the greater good, so long as it’s only temporary. Good luck with it.
Great group. Here’s another work song that initially became popular in Canada and the Midwest (1974):
Working Man
Epic. The epitome of Rock from that era. Many memories.
I was thinking The Easybeats – Monday I’ve got Friday on my Mind!
…but of course with your job & Albert Ross to boot, weekends are no different.
I hate to sound like a noob – but what is, “the Albatross”?
Reference The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge. A great and fateful burden brought on by oneself. In this case a book that Jerry is in the final stages of writing.
Thanks darrelle.
If you are going over the proofs and your feeling looking at it now is “coming along nicely”, albeit slowly, you’ve gotta being feeling good. It is always nice to go back to something you’ve written a while ago and feel satisfied with it.
Jerry,
Perhaps you need a little help from god…
