Seems To Be No Time / Basil Fitzpatrick

[Adam Lynn]

, a poem-song which speaks for us all...

Speak for yourself. You don't speak for me.

Damn right I don't.
I don't speak "Gobble-de-Gook".

no comment.

This is no time to bite the bullet with our remote
transitional capability. We need to cascade memos
about our millennial administrative flexibility.Today
marks the 20th anniversary celebrations of our four-
dimensional strategic alignment. Our upgraded model
now offers three-dimensional digital matrix approaches.
It's time to revamp and reboot our quality third-
generation paradigm shifts. At base level, this just comes
down to knowledge-based management programming.
The consultants recommend ambient logistical flexibility.
We need to get on-message about our total digital
projections. I can make a window to discuss your interactive
reciprocal concepts. Get back to me a.a.a.p. and thanks in
advance.

A classic from Clyde Baker, "There Seems To Be No Time" (which I'll be
attempting to give a rendition of),

Why do you hate Clyde Baker, Dockery?
That's the only reason I could see a deadbeat like you "attempting to
give a rendition."

No shit. I knew Dennis better than you did. We actually talked, were
friends, etc. etc. Read any of our old exchanges. You can tell by the
way we wrote back and forth that we enjoyed and appreciated each
other. You quote him and reference him, but never got to know him as a
person, much less as the superb writer he was. You never made the
effort because you dont care about anybody past the end of your nose.
You neverr made he effort. That's your loss. Don't blame me by quoting
"We know" from somebody you never made the effort to ever really know
because you were, and remain completely fixated on yourself.

Thinking that your change to my remark makes you a better writer than
me deserves no comment. What little you changed reflects your writing
ability. My remark still speaks for itself. The proof that Dennis and
I were friends is evidenced by Google archives. The truth is out
there. Avail yourself or not.

People perceive what they perceive. What you assert is 'just a fact'
is just what you assert. People make up their own minds, and express
their own opinions, and I trust peopleowl have the opportunity here to
compare and contrast our respective writing abilities and decide for
themselves who to read and who to believe.

It doesn't matter what I recognize. I'm just a writer. As a writer it
matters what people who read recognize. I don't care how you
characterize me. I expect people who love to read and know how to read
to recognize the truth when they see it. Basically, I believe and
trust in people, both in principle and in practice. I write for them.
If you're not one of them, don't read. Continue being a foil, a reason
for me to write for other people who are entertained by my responses
to your ignorant obstinacy.

If you've never seen him perform live and never met him personally,
then your perception of him as a performer is limited to and informed
only by the mediums through which you perceive him, i.e. various
digital media, Usenet, Video and audio recording. Will is not
technically savvy or informed, and therefore wholly unappreciative of
the value of technical art and how it applies to what he does. Will is
an in your face, in the moment, inarticulate yet folksy, homespun, fun
kind of guy who doesn't know what he doesn't know and doesn't care
beyond arms reach. He's 'Local Meats & Produce' through and through, a
total ham. Egg him on and you get what you get, no surprise there.

Well, there's nothing I can really argue with there, Corey... waking
up today after just one of those shows you're familar with, where I
and many fine musicans and friends rocked the Crimson Barrel bar in
the wilds of Fort Mitchell, I know that all aspects, good, bad and
ugly of what you described above happened... some of it somewhat
pleasurable for me and those among me.

Brian Mallard's camera caught every minute of it on video, so it'll
likely surface, in the narrow low-fi fashion you described.

I need a lot of coffee and am working on that right now, as the next
moment in time is here, the rehersals for the Clyde Baker Tribute show
at The Loft this coming Wednesday, which this thread is partly about.

The rockabilly song I quoted specifically predates George Clinton's
use of a similar phrase by more than a decade, Will. The quote I used
is from exactly where I said it was.

Seems To Be No Time  (written by Basil Fitzpatrick)

E. F# Verse
chorus
B. F# F# G A E
Say excuse me mister
won't you turn and look my way
 you may not recognize me
 or could your memory be vague.
Come toward me and look closer
so you see the sadness and the pain
 and it might occur to listen
 because I won't be back again.
4 measure instrumental
You may have seen me on the street
 in one hundred thousand different forms
 but this time don't mistake me
with what u might have seen before
 (chorus)
Seems like such a long time has past
since I remember my last smile
and those around don't seem to care
for them their time moves much too fast
 Say excuse me lady
seems you got something on your mind
 and how I'd like to ease your conscience
 but I see you havnt got the time
 You've been caught up in the backround
and let your sweet dreams slip away
 oh how I'd like to resurrect them
 even as I c u walk away
instrumental break 4 measures
 Dear lady if you still hear me
as you make your way between the crowd
 well above the traffic and the noise
I hear your heart crying aloud
So now I say to you good people
 it's now my tone to say goodbye
 you see my breeds close to extinction
and now I've found the reason why.
 There seems to be no time
 There seems to be no time
 There seems to be no time
 There seems to be no time...

great clarity and warmth. Audiences are quickto respond to this
natural happening. Clyde hails from Phenix City, Alabama and his
matchless Southern charm [is] vividly communicated to all..."
