Flirting with monism
Julian ‘Cannonball’ Adderly introducing Josef Erich Zawinul theme Mercy, Mercy, Mercy at the fake club in Chicago which turned out to be at Capitol Records in L.A.:
You know, sometimes we are not prepared for adversity.
When it happens sometimes we’re caught short.
We don’t know exactly how to handle it when it comes up.
Sometimes we don’t know just what to do
when adversity takes over.
And I have advise for all of us
I got it from my pianist Joe Zawinul who wrote this tune.
And it sounds like what you’re supposed to say
when you have any kind of problem.It’s called Mercy, Mercy, Mercy.
P.S.: I was about to but tickets for Joe Zawinul at Grec Festival, in Barcelona, but it’s the same day the company I work for celebrates a dinner with all the workers. What a pity this unfortunate coincidence! Well… these dinners are fun too!
