On Sunday, November 7th, a small group of art aficionados gathered for the first of a series of Art in Context performances. The photos of Pierrick Gaum\u00e9<\/a> were attractively displayed and several went home with their new owners. There was rich conversation, good wine and French hors d\u2019oeuvres. But the focus of the evening was on the wonderful music provided by Deborah Crooks<\/a> and her talented band. Her song Joy was one of my favorites, in the raw and moving style of the blues. Deborah states that the lyrics “have a pure intent to convey those who are no longer naive about such pursuits but are nonetheless reaching for happiness and love.” Guitarist Kwame Copeland made this recording during the event.<\/p>\n

Lyrics by Deborah Crooks (ASCAP\/Bird in the Tree Music); music by Alex Walsh (BMI\/Backdoor Jams)<\/small><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a gypsy girl riding a mystery bus
\nTie-dye king hitching Cali or bust
\nMan on the street says love is all there is
\nThe moon confirms it\u2019s the Age of Aquarius
\nJoy they\u2019re going out to find it
\nJoy Don\u2019t you ever mind it
\nJoy Joy Joy Joy
\nWeatherman says it\u2019s going to rain
\nCloudburst as they get in the car
\nBoth need a little barn dance, a little moonshine bright star
\nTell me where you are
\nJoy they\u2019re going out to find it
\nJoy Don\u2019t you ever mind it
\nJoy Joy Joy Joy
\nRoads are slick and they\u2019ve got miles to go
\nHe wants to go fast, she says go slow
\nTake the lead, baby, just take the keys
\nGiver her another reason to believe
\nJoy they\u2019re going out to find it
\nJoy, Don\u2019t you ever mind it
\nJoy Joy Joy<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\r\n\t
