What an odd tourruot ddo na tahW Man... I came to check how this sounded online and you beat me to it! Thanks so much for the quick listen and the very kind words. I have a deep admiration for your work, so that means a lot! The Baltimore PD put up these blue revolving lights, with 360° cameras in "high crime" areas... They also have construction flood lights... it's pretty unnerving, really. I can't imagine how it must feel to live with that light flashing in your window every night... Luckily, I guess, I only have to drive through. For some reason this tune makes me feel like I'm there. The song image is a composite, as I don't feel up to taking photos with Big Brother watching... Thanks again, Dion! Check out my latest song called mARINERS lULLABY

Blue Lights! I can't believe that! How much can the government really have to disregard the people who live in those neighborhoods to use such intrusive measures to control crime? They don't understand that people have legs and that there's always another corner and that education and opportunity are the best way to make crime less attractive? I don't think anyone in charge of implementing those blue lights even believes that it will stop crime, just that it will terrorize the community, cause fear and make the people who live there feel somehow "less" than other Baltimoreans. It's just a way of keeping people down. I lived in Baltimore for a year and found it a very upsetting place, mostly because of the disregard for the poor that existed there. I've never been anywhere where there was such a split between the population. You were rich or poor and what you born into determined your fate, for the most part. I had to stop reading the paper because it made me cry, the stories were so filled with pain and inhumanity. Your music perfectly captured the low grade agitation that I always felt living there, the anger I felt reading the paper or watching the news or driving through neighborhoods where people were expected to live among condemned houses, piles of rubble and scrubby vacant lots, just blocks away from mansions. The bass and percussion on this are especially cool and I really enjoy the "neighborhood sounds" you included. They were a very nice touch.

Blue Lights! Hey, thanks for listening and sharing! Too bad you had a negative Baltimore experience, it's like that for some... I accept the blight for what it is, and try to better things by being good to people and hopefully, voting the right people in and out of office! There is a big divide socially and economically here, and of course, no easy answers... It's depressing to see the cyclical poverty, but I think there's hope because overall, people are kind in Baltimore... Thanks again, much respect. Check out my latest song called mARINERS lULLABY

Blue Lights! You know, I re-read my response and realized that I didn't convey AT ALL that I liked Baltimore quite a bit and Baltimoreans even more. The disparity was a massive shock to me and your story about the blue lights just pushed my freakout button, but I'd move back to Baltimore in a heartbeat if it weren't so insanely hot in the summer. Actually, that year in Baltimore was one of the happiest of my life, albeit with a side of disbelief and pain. It's a truly interesting place to live.

Good Groove Thanks, Sir Nougat of Death! I'm glad you stopped in for a listen, as you know I've been diggin' your stuffs... It started with a few red light cameras... then fixed cameras in some downtown areas... and now these flashing blue lights and remote videos... Anybody wonder about Big Brother? He's here in Baltimore! Sorry to hear about Glen Burnie, really I am... Check out my latest song called mARINERS lULLABY

First time listener Is that crowd noise I hear? I can hear this in an artsy independent film. What inspired to do this one? |

First time listener Yes, that is "crowd" noise you hear... Thanks for the listen! See the above comments and responses in reference to my inspiration. Everything around me is potential... just today I was inspired by the squeeking brakes of a trash truck. Check out my latest song called mARINERS lULLABY

I'm laughing... And it's not at all funny, JMT - I just like what ya do I
guess... I take it that this is not the trendiest area of Baltimore... LOL!
Curious - Would I feel compelled to lock my doors while driving
through or is this something that I might not worry about or be the
least bit concerned with... And who lives there anyways...
Your tunes - They tend to slink you about while allowing you the
privilege of being able to check things out... At least for me I feel like
I'm slink'n along while listening. It's an interesting way to strut through
these vivid scenes that you graciously escort us through of which, they
always have a 'bite sized' view and from just far enough away to keep
from getting any of the unwanted scene residue on ya...
Nice chunky bass and nice synth and great percussive work too - Most
