workin w hahva at “the coffee shop” on mariposa. man, they’ve been playing all the classic jams today. they actually played blood sweat and tears, lucretia mcevil…i used to jump up and down and run around the living room to that song when i was like 7yrs old. now it’s “songs in the key of life.” does it get better? i don’t think so. “Sir Duke” was one of the first 45’s i bought as a child. as i listen to the lyrics, i’m reminded of why we’re doing this:

“Sir Duke” (Stevie Wonder)

Music is a world within itself 
With a language we all understand 
With an equal opportunity 
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands 
But just because a record has a groove 
Don’t make it in the groove 
But you can tell right away at letter A 
When the people start to move 

They can feel it all over 
They can feel it all over people 
They can feel it all over 
They can feel it all over people 

Music knows it is and always will 
Be one of the things that life just won’t quit 
But here are some of music’s pioneers 
That time will not allow us to forget 
For there’s Basie, Miller, Sachimo 
And the king of all Sir Duke 
And with a voice like Ella’s ringing out 
There’s no way the band can lose 

You can feel it all over 
You can feel it all over people 
You can feel it all over 
You can feel it all over people 

You can feel it all over 
You can feel it all over people 
You can feel it all over 
You can feel it all over people 

You can feel it all over 
You can feel it all over people 
You can feel it all over 
You can feel it all over people 

You can feel it all over 
You can feel it all over people 
You can feel it all over 
I can feel it all over-all over now people 

Can’t you feel it all over 
Come on let’s feel it all over people 
You can feel it all over 
Everybody-all over people
