“The common cognomen of this world among the misguided and superstitious is 'a vale of tears' from which we are to be redeemed by a certain arbitrary interposition of God and taken to Heaven--What a little circumscribed straightened notion! call the world if you Please 'The vale of Soul-making' Then you will find out the us"...... Keats
I was waiting on a concert date by John Lee Hooker and he suddenly passed away, the possible esoteric significance of it took form in this song. Various schools of Hindu philosophy believe in Akasha or ether as the fifth physical substance. The belief goes that Akasha is the substratum of the quality of sound as it is the all pervading subtle etheric substance, whose recordings of human history are imprinted on to it. This makes it a living historical document imperceptible to all but the seer or clairvoyant. Its also described sometimes as a cosmic library. Upon the passing of John Lee Hooker I could only surmise that if this were so, that somewhere within that cosmic library the endless boogie, would be shaking the place up.
lyrics
Even if your gone
you will still be there to shake it up
Shake it shake it shake up
shake, shake, shake it up,
Your endless boogie lives on
thrilling the ages sure enough
sure enough sure enough
the Akashic chronicle (7) of the blues sage
Scratched into the grooves of a side
a side of life wandering thru
the “vale of soul making”(8)
rocking the night with song
our ancestors rising up
Cerebral palsy curbed his ability to play guitar the conventional way, so Nagoda learned double slide, this is his debut LP.
