“if We were the president of the world”

by henry Gibson.

if We were the president of the world

We’d choose people smarter to run it. 

so our capital will be shared and abundant.

we learn to abolish lies, Learn to distinguish if it’s attracting flies.

we’d argue from noon until dawn, I promised the curtains would not be drawn.

And hear everybody’s view. 

even people we considered,

would poison that stew.

Not punish them, but know that with time, they’ll learn to acknowledge their part in this crime.

With determination and resilience

 we could heal the world, 

my fellow earthlings,. 

we’d promise you this 

that

if We were president of the world

and the world was bold

We’d  write this in scriptures, 

so it would be foretold!

if you approved this message,

How wonderful the world would be, 

If we lived without mediocrity!.

“Let’s exist with the earth”!

Q radio voice: “Hey folks, get on the ground level of the creation of the song. 

listener “wow” how do I do that Mr. Radio announcer sir”?

this is the first draft of a song mr. Weissman is working on. If you have suggestions on how to help it rhyme better. Send your ideas out”

Oh and in the tradition of soupy sales, children remember that loose change in your parents drawers. 

Leave it there! Unless they have $100s,  a stack of them, then donate it!

End of”radio Transmission. You can take the tinfoil out of your mouth.

Radio version

I was getting onto the F train, I veered into The train that was waiting at the station, but a young gentleman that thought I was being rude, punch me in the jaw.

I fell on the ground and stated out loud at him “you know you just punched a disabled man”!

He walked on as if nothing happened, nobody helped me.

I got up and did my gig with the Brooklyners! I was definitely emotionally shaken, and tried to figure out why this young man took his aggressions out on me!

I still have no answers, other then I’m glad I did not get up and escalate the situation!

Instead, I wrote this song to heal myself!

The world is burning

I’m looking for submissions of very short videos of people saying “the world is burning”. 

The audio must decent to high quality, little noise background. 

It can be one or many people saying it in unison.

It would be wonderful if there was a nice background of the location you’re in. 

Outdoors or Indoors, standing next to a significant monument.

I will put it on YouTube and everywhere possible. 

I did pay the musicians. But I am not selling this video. It is for the world. A gift.

 

 

 

The 80’s Manhattan music scene

Miguel Weissman’s exploration into the Manhattan, Bronx, East Village and Hoboken, NJ music scenes led to getting on wax and gigging in Harlem and deep into the East Village (Avenues A-D) at after-hour clubs. This was the advent of the emerging Black Rock, Blues, Punk and Avant Garde Jazz communities.

miguelpyramid

Miguel played with Donald Dixon, Tack Heads (Sugar Hill Gang}, Eddy Von Bach, Ghetto Fighters, Afrika Bambaata, The New Left, Spy v Spy, GTO and The Soul Squad, Sammy Carr, Johnny Thunders, Robert Gordon, Lester Chambers and Charles “Bobo” Shaw at the great clubs of the time like The 7A Club, The World Club and The Pyramid Club in the East Village as well as the Continental Divide, 55 Bar and Danceteria, to name a few.

Miguel joined a band called The Gismo in 1979. Also in that band was Stan 157, one of the original graffiti artists. The Gismo was an early R & B band. They played at after-hours clubs in Harlem. For Miguel, as the only white man in the room most of the time, this was an experience he would never forget. The love shared there was profound and he was always welcomed.

Miguel Weissman Donald Dixon

Miguel collaborated with Donald Dixon in the Bronx in early 80’s on Hill Street, overlooking the Yankee Stadium. They worked on a 4-track reel-to-reel, with a Shure 57 microphone, a delay unit and one 8-bit AKAI sampler.

Miguel saw what life was like for black people in the ‘hood during a time when it seemed like the world had forgotten them. Miguel learned how resourceful this community was and risked his life going up there when crime and desperation were out on the streets! He knew back then that cops stopped men on the street for nothing at all.

There were guns shots constantly in the background. Sometimes there would be a knock on the door and Donald would explain to his clients that Miguel was here to record them and he was white. He would take their guns and bring them into the studio.

He experienced the same thing in the East Village. Going east of First Avenue back then was very dangerous! One night, Miguel was walking on 11th Street and was robbed of his Selmer Mark VI saxophone by a junkie. That’s when he decided to focus on the harmonica and music production, although he still plays the sax, flute and keyboards.

At Continental Divide, a club on 3rd Avenue and 8th Street, (the one that had a big dinosaur on top) he played with the DJs Smash and Stone, who were working turntables while he and other jazz musicians played over the top on the sax, flute and harp. They created the Acid Jazz Movement in the New York scene.

“Wet Ride, Fat Jazzy Groves 6 & 7″ for New Bread Records represents the collaborations between musicians and DJs that created the Acid Jazz Movement in New York. Miguel also worked with Warlock and Sleeping Bag Records where he collaborated with DJs Stone and Smash, GTO, William Socolov, and the Latin Rascals.

“Wet Ride Fat Jazzy Groves 6 & 7” for New bread Records compiled by DJ Smash, Executive Producer; Asia Love; Miguel Weissman on harmonica; flute and keyboards; Willie Barrios, Co-Producer and drum programing.
