Happy Birthday to the intergalactic maestro Dr. John. On the one hand I miss him, but on the other he's everywhere.

His song ‘Walk on Gilded Splinters’ which I first heard in 1967 became the first song I sang after years of not being able to when finally taken to hospital.Two verses were just the words I needed. I found out Gilded or ‘Golden’ splinters are places on Earth where planetary energy focuses. Alas that is too vague to know where those places are. It can also be used as a blessing. I babbled all this out to the black man who was emptying my trash. He was from NOLA; what are the odds?
