Fisher’s 6 June 2024 – played a Dylan song at open mic last night – “Everything Is Broken”. Subsequently the cell phone being used to video the performance by the host of the open mic… yep, it broke. Then they got it running but the next two songs didnt get recorded…. just static. Is that demonic? simulation glitch? coincidence?

Everything Is Broken

Wayfaring Stranger (w/false start)

Wayfaring Stranger

Fisher’s Neighborhood Kitchen – Virginia Beach 23 May 24 – Forever Young (Dylan)/Hard Times Come Again No More (Stephen Foster)/All That I Ever Need (original)

Beach Barracuda’s Virginia Beach 22 May 24
These first two songs were performed as we, members of the musician’s community in Virginia Beach, said goodbye to one of our beloved venues. First here is the sad story and then the
performances which brought back to me a voice I forgot I had.

It is with a shattered heart that we announce the closing of Beach Barracudas. Due to not being able to obtain a reasonable lease with my landlord and the theft from an employee we are not financially able to continue.
I would love to thank my staff for all of their hard work, dedication and professionalism. It has been an honor to work with such quality individuals. And we were blessed to have you part of the Cuda family.
We apologize to the bands that have future gigs here. We have enjoyed countless evenings, sitting back, relaxing or up on the dance floor dancing to some of the most talented musicians in the area and we would like to thank you all for some really fun evenings.
Thank you to all of our customers that became friends and family. We will miss all of you.
Come out this week and say goodbye to Barracuda. We’re going to have a goodbye blast Friday night with radio 80s
Forever Young (Dylan)

Hard Times (Stephen Foster epic classic folk song)

my heart has found a new home

I used to be a lonely man
dark clouds hanging all over the land
I used to ramble all around
I ride dusty roads through dirty towns
I used to be a rolling Stone
nothing I could call my own
but with Jesus oh yes Jesus oh yes Jesus
my heart has found a new home
my heart has found a new home

I never had too much to say
I was just living day to day
I never had to fight a war
nothing much worth fighting for
flowing as the river flows
nowhere special I should go
but with Jesus oh yes Jesus oh yes Jesus
my heart has found a new home
my heart has found a new home

bridge:
I was lost but now I’m found
I was blind but now I see
I was walking on rocky ground
but now I’m saved yeah now I’m free
Free!

never saw the sun shine before
but now I see the Son of the Lord
never saw an angel’s glow
I never believed yet now I know
He reached out for me for oh so long
and now He’s the center of every song
but with Jesus oh yes Jesus oh yes Jesus
my heart has found a new home
my heart has found a new home

All That I Ever Need
No matter how far I stray No matter how far from home No matter how much pain I may claim as my own No matter how much I feel foresaken and forlorn the love of the Lord is real and so amazingly strong

chorus

Forever Young (Dylan starts this song beautifully with “May God bless and keep you always…” which sounds very Old Testament to me somehow and is my wish for you as well)

Johnny Cash (Like A Soldier) subtle and beautiful testimony
of the soldier living off of and celebrating the fruits of faith in the Lord after his worldly experiences…

Your Redemptive Love
my song (cGary Konigsberg)
oh Lord I struggled and I fought
I fought with all my might
to hold on to my darkness
and eschew your Holy light
for such was the inner nature of
this stubborn man so tough
but then you overwhelmed my rebellious heart
with your redemptive love
ask anyone who knew me then
I knew what everything was about
if you had a question on anything
I would answer with a shout
so prideful boastful were my ways
so abrasive, loud and gruff
but then you overcame my rebellious heart
with your redemptive love
bridge:
I have been redeemed in You.
from a life of death and lies now I’m living true
oh the wonderous miracles you do
I have been redeemed dear Jesus dear Lord
I am a brand new creature in you in you
you suffered and died so horribly
and I couldn’t even say thanks
for dying for my sins but I was drowning
within the sinner’s unholy ranks
dark was my soul’s reflection
full of arrogance and bluff
but then you overtook my rebellious heart
with your redemptive love
I knew you not but you knew me
much deeper in my soul
thank you Lord you grabbed the steering wheel
and took absolute control
8
now a happy man am I
more than I ever dreamt of
for you commandeered my rebellious heart
with your redemptive love
[Bridge repeat]
