How you do dat dere?

I don't know how to be seeing someone that is seeing other people and I'm not seeing anyone else. I used to have the motto that I couldn't be one of yours unless you were one of mine. Now, I prefer to spend my time on one man at a time. Just because I'm interested in a relationship doesn't mean I'm interested in a relationship with every man I meet. I will talk to more than one man at a time but not become emotionally involved with more than one at a time. I don't think it unrealistic to desire someone who's not otherwise emotionally entangled with another, either, even if it is unlikely. 

It's just like friends who have sadly tried to convince me that I should accept the fact a man is going to cheat on me and to just be with someone. HUH??? If I'm not a cheater I believe there is at least one man out there for me who is capable of the same loyalty, and I'm willing to wait on him. If I'm romantically uninvolved forever, at least I won't have settled for or given the most precious gift I can give, to someone who's undeserving. That's also the best gift I can give to myself.

How did I not know about Johnny Lang???

I was on my way to perform in a play set in racially tense Alabama, in 1935. I was riding with a nemesis in the play and we saw the bumper sticker "No Whites, No Blacks, Just Blues." 

Without thought of that an eye opening conversation took place in the ladies dressing room before the play that shed light on the ignorance called racism that still permeates our peaceful society (at least I'm at peace,) and one of the many -isms, that drives politics. We all have something about us against which can be discriminated, so why race - something over which we have no control - still causes contention, I don't know. Of course, it was ALL LOVE amongst us sisters from different misters; we hugged it out til we could have had blisters.

No thought about it again until I was back in my insomniac state and this young gentleman who I saw in concert on TV months back, whose name I'd forgotten, was being repeated tonight: a Blues guitarist. He reminds me of Al Green if Al were a young, Caucasoid Blues guitarist. Johnny Lang has jammed with BB King  sang Stevie Wonder better than anyone else I've ever heard do Stevie except for Stevie. He has sung w/Michael McDonald, (yep,) loves James Taylor...well, anyway, my day has come full circle. My day started with disappointment but acceptance, then I experienced harmony, I stood up for peace, played disharmony, felt satisfaction, got high off elation, endured heartache, and ended with NO BLACKS...NO WHITES...JUST BLUES!

I'm so thankful for the A.R.T.S. (Actor's Repertory Theatre of Simi), How Great Thou Art, pun intended. Art is universal. Johnny Lang, thanks for making my night.
