Welcome and welcome back. While I am creating I spend less time being grumpy. It’s a blessing that’s easy to accept. Even as I smash these words, I am simply happy to be here. The Gulf War started, on my 50th birthday, in March of 2003. I also purchased, maybe that very same day, a gently used Godin SD, solid body, electric guitar. And, since I was feeling a bit musical, and in honor of the war effort, I wrote this tune that month. This piece is one of my very own favorites. &&& Note: Anyway. ______________________________________ The Garden of Eden is Closed (a country western, three chord, two step)* *It’s really in Waltz Time. Main Chorus: sprinkle at will. The Garden of Eden is Closed We’re tighty, we’re mighty, we’re whiter than whitey Verses: Down at the mouth of the Tigris Euphrates, Now Saddam Hussein had put up a fence We bombed them back to Old Purgatory, But God and the devil are playing strip poker (chorus?) Some people say that times like these But it’s people that love and people that die How to get back to the garden of Eden? Last chorus with an honest twist: We’re tighty, we’re mighty, we’re whiter than whitey .... March 2003 Notes: the verse about strip poker in the book reads like this: But God and the devil are playing strip poker Notes 2: I now would trade the top two lines for the bottom two lines. As written … How to get back to the garden of Eden? Edit as of 3/1/2026 When it’s an eye for an eye and Cloud Fishing (and more) https://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Fishing-David-L-White/dp/1979915504 https://www.amazon.com/stores/David-L.-White/author/B00J6EY804?&shoppingPortalEnabled=true Take some time for your self. Perhaps a one-minute Joy Breath Meditation. Relax. (ha ha). Slow your breathing. Remember several moments of joy you have felt in your life until you can feel the joy as if it’s happening again in this very moment. Blessings to you!
