"To Whom, Etc."

"To [there is text rendered here (immediate above), but "white" upon a white background without the full spectrum of visible color rendering everything & Everyone

seems to leave something, or someone out; doesn't it?]

[and to think that some among that absence of color are seeking to train others in diversity!]

Give Everyone "a 'freakin' break" ... and not just yourself!

And don't dove-tail on the benefits inherited while calling it "mainstream!"

OK, I apologize, given the sensitivity of some, lest I appear arrogant (and elitist) myself.

Though written and appearing cryptic, there are no people walking without melanin, unless afflicted with a disease.

Some just have more melanin than others since the so-called "white" is not white, and certainly no one is totally "black."

Yet somehow, societal and cultural ills have found themselves in a vacuum of diverseness when seeking to bridge the Gaps according to themselves, and not the rest of the palate when the human senses (and realities) are concerned.

Scientific, and empirical evidence, demonstrates that physics (and physiologies) abhors a vacuum.

Has anyone asked why the so-called "devoid" of outer space (off-planet) sustains this delicate balance, yet appearing BLACK?

For those not adept, nor apt to even ask, it's basic physics when understanding the nature of light, refraction and reflectivity.

But for those who ask only the questions as prescribed from what is 'read on the internet,' ... here's a hint:

God [the Father], who at sundry times
and in divers manners spake in time
past unto the fathers [among mankind/patriarchs] by the prophets,

Hath in these last days
spoken unto us by his Son [Christ Jesus], whom he
hath appointed heir of all things, by
whom also he made the worlds;
Who being the brightness of
his [the Father's] glory, and the express image of
his [the Father's] person, and upholding all things
by the word of his [the Father's] power, when he had
by himself [Jesus hung on the stake and alone, not God The Father] purged our sins, sat down
on the right hand of the Majesty on high [the Father's right hand];
Being made so much better
than the angels, as he [Jesus] hath by
inheritance obtained a more excellent
name than they. [i.e. better than the patriarchs, prophets, seers, et. al and etcetera, with skin long dead]

For unto which of the
angels said he at any time, Thou art
my Son, this day have I begotten thee?
And again, I will be to him a Father,
and he shall be to me a Son?

[so who is speaking to who? The Father God to his Son, not one in the same lest the Godhead be insane! No, religion without proper relationships breeds insanity!]
And again, when he bringeth
in the firstbegotten into the world,
he saith, And let all the angels of
God worship him.

[Hebrews 1:1-6 - Yes, the King James Version; c.1611]

[even today so-called scholars bicker and whine about who actually wrote this Book. It was Paul, not Apollos. The evidence is clear, unless someone simply wants to fuel the fire!]

[... let alone everyone is still grappling with this inspired publication as if it wasn't already known millennia and centuries before! My God!]

Given the reasons why we on this planet suffer (which many refuse to face), we are now confronted with a global crisis,

instead of a national one. And guess what tone that takes now: the very "green" in money and not the currency of it!

Hmmm...

Very simple actually, which qua-trillions of dollars have been spent pontificating...

while those living have lacked for more generations and centuries before the reader can imagine.

I'm still wondering myself at the willful ignorance of the powers that be!

So, my point (and not necessarily that of Steve Whitworth, apart from his music) is:

Maybe those who are teaching/training on a corporate level,

should just sit and listen for a minute on a personal level.

Then, and only then, we might ALL learn something TOGETHER from those who

Sacrificed Well Ahead of our birthdates and their deaths at the hand of Men and Women.

We're still suffering TODAY without allowing it!

Go Figure!

The Kingdom of God has come, but not yet - given the evidence of His (Jehovah God - The Father) waiting on the wise to discern the distinction between what He inspired to be written by His Spirit (and not a third person), and the hermeneutic of our sychophant interpretations, there is only one (1) conclusion. That God is One!

God is only waiting in "love," and not in disgust with us. Why are we disgusted with each other, while others mourn for the lost? And that not with a "yellow ribbon," but the Red flow of His Son's Blood that covers throughout eternity and in the future...

Not in the past, but even Now Forever!

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 ... therein is our comfort - and not the food we eat leading to obescity.

Hmmm... in context/harmony/symphony with:

[John 5:24-30]

Proverbs 17:16

Ecclessiastes 3:11

[all Scriptures rendered in context and the timelessness of them; especially now]

And yet 21st century media, politicians, ear-marked power-mongers and those policed speak 'leadership' as if it is a given among the "authorities."

Ya just didn't have the funds to cover the Debt (nor the willing resources to cover it with Negotiable currency)!

No, everything is earned among the politic, and no human walking is qualified for this task unless Inspired and Inscribed for a Destiny where NO one can EARN it.

Mankind today lives in the dispensation of "Grace," where everyone is tested according to a timely command from our Creator.

So embrace this reality, even if you cannot see it. Grasp it in your heart and come to grips with it.

Simply said, ever learning and never coming to the knowledge (understanding & wisdom) amounts to nothing!

Ecclessiastes Chapters 11 & 12 - as if the divisions in chapters and verses were originally intended for us to read so conveniently.

Kind of speaks about the infirmities that many are experiencing today with attention deficits.

Personally, I thank my savior Christ, a Jew, who covered these debts for me and ALL.

I'm among those who praise the Living God, circumcised in the heart, and not merely in the flesh - though I am.

Go figure... and in your figuring, Go STUDY~!

Hence...

"To Whom, Etc."

Steve Whitworth

Atlanta, GA

Steve outside of the studios @ AudioHipster. (Fall, 2007)

http://www.johnsussewell.com/SW-Oct6-20072007.jpg

Written and performed by Steve Whitworth,

an exceptional Atlantan based Artist, guitarist and songwriter,

this is a must have!

Recorded at AudioHipster Studios in Loganville, GA: Doyen and Carla Keaton, Proprietors,

I don't believe it was an accident that I was blessed with the opportunity to participate.

Rather it was everyone's Destiny. Hence the poignant title:

"To Whom, Etc."

Doyen @ the consoles; Fall (2007)

http://www.johnsussewell.com/DoyenIntent.jpg

Accompanied by relationships honed over years by just being caring and creative, my opinion is

Doyen & Steve demonstrate a fresh approach to any genre of music, requiring the sensitivity

to not only bridge the gaps among an evolving art form,

but to also present a timely lyrical message

to any audiophile intent

on what is being "said," as well

as how it is presented.

I leave it up to those who communicate with confidence

to discover the behind YOUR scenes events leading up to the street date in your vernacular for

"To Whom, Etc."

For now, and with respect, I post selected snippets from the entire CD...

... particularly the three (3) tracks that I appear on and which start off a compilation of nine (9) songs

performed among a roster of other equally sensitive musicians for their appearances and cooperation with Steve.

I will say with wonder, that sharing with the cast for this project was at once the most expressive I believe I've ever been recorded of late

in a studio environment. Atlanta is a long way from New York, L.A. and Nashville, but somehow these three Meccas wound up in

Loganville, GA at AudioHipster, Studios during a most strategic and creative time for me.

Suss! actually tracking when Steve opened the studio door gesturing me that I nailed the intro for "All!"

What the heck did he expect!? I certainly wasn't "hacking" what many should have in their hearts!

So go figure while hearing what has gone on before, now... and yet to come! Seriously!

Actually, "ALL" is both complex (for musicians) and simple for any (for listners);

shifting from common 4/4 to 7/4 & 5/4 time signatures.

I LOVE THAT ABOUT YOU STEVE!!!, even when you marveled at me tracking to a pre-existing soundtrack of "pilots" w/you & John Paul.

Notice my chart stand... I scratched it out well before the session, and studied the music... but odd times are natural to me; only your melodic and flow is unique!

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

Here are three snippets that I edited from the material I appear on (using Nero Wave Editor ®).

My motive for posting is that those visiting my site will come to discover that through their surfing there's some satisfaction

in reflecting upon how much more beneficial it is to keep the creative flow going rather than being trapped by circumstances:

use it not as a mere outlet, but as a gift that the Living God gave those creative enough to express them for the benefit of All!

And how more timely than NOW when others are waiting.

In my view, it will also enhance/benefit the other areas of anyone's life and their relationships.

Especially where you are have a view for productiveness where you find yourself.

As has been said and performed well before, it is no accident when miracles happens...

it is destiny for those having the conviction and courage to encourage rather than encumber.

Perhaps you'll find that out for yourself when bearing your own stake among stakeholders.

As for some others who nip at the heals? Well, we'll pray for them too.
