  Solution Six: Dell Wendell Sweet The second song I wrote. As with any song this one has a story behind it. The story relates to the words being written, but not the way they were written. A woman visited me in prison. Prison is a hard place, a great deal of the men there do not live or want to live by societal rules, so they do and act as they please. This day they stared at her as she walked to the vending machines. It is considered very disrespectful to do that, so I locked eyed with the ones who did it to let them know I saw it. They acknowledged it and stopped and didn't do it again. Later I thought about it and rather than do something about it I let it slide because, after all the world is what it is. So, with this in mind I sat down to try to write a second song (My first was A minor). No dice, but I decided to express it emotionally, using as few words as possible, just a skeleton of a song compared to A minor, but it worked. I wrote the lyrics only changing them slightly

The Man's Too Strong - Cover

Another of my favorite songs from Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits release). The man writes deep. Totally different type of music but he reminds me of Tom T Hall. If you have ever listened to Mr. Hall you should. Hopefully you'll see the similarities I am speaking about. #Singers #Songwriters #AwesomeSongs #SongCovers
  Sex on the Streets “No,” she said, but tears began to spill from her eyes, falling into the foam-scummed yellow-brown water... “Don't,” I screamed. I knew she meant to do it… #NonFiction #StreetLife #D2D #Apple #Readers #BookWorms #BookLovers https://books2read.com/b/bW8PaY

 Writing Earth’s Survivors Posted on  December 22, 2023 by  dello Writing Earth’s Survivors Posted 12-22-2023 A few words about the Earth’s Survivors Series of books: This series was written by me several years ago and remained unpublished. I wrote the original books in longhand in bound composition notebooks. At the time that was what was available to me, at least for the first few books. After that it didn’t matter. I was hooked. The stories seemed to flow perfectly, and I didn’t want to mess with the magic. Sounds crazy, maybe, but those stories come from some place that I don’t have access to, or at least access to any time I choose.  I can sit down and begin nearly any story that is suggested to me, but if it isn’t there after the initial start, the story will just die. The words will come harder and harder and then the well will be dry. I have no idea where the characters are going to. And, most likely that is because they are going nowhere. They are staying wherever I wrote them

  Posted by Dell 12-21-23 3:21 A.M. Well here it is 2023 nearly finished, and it doesn't look any different than 2022 did. Same politicians with the same promises, same clouds in the sky, same snow on the ground, same Turkeys trying to eat my Fred cat. I know it sounds funny but it isn't. As you probably didn't know we're out here in the boondocks, well, the lesser boondocks, okay, the suburbs of the boondocks. There are some woods here, okay? The turkeys live in the woods, and that's fine. That's fine because Fred lives in the house. No problem, except Fred was converted from a  do whatever she wanted to cat  to a live in the house cat and that means that sometimes Fred gets the urge to go out into the wilds of the back yard and look around. That brings Fred into conflict with the Turkeys. When Fred and I were just getting to know each other,  she decided to impress me. So, every day for about three weeks Fred would bring me a semi dead something. Bird,

Wish you were here Cover by Dell Sweet his is a cover of Wish you were here. I set it up a little differently, played and sang it. It is a great song that has a lot of depth and I think that is why it became so popular and still is. #Music #cover #pinkfloyd #wishyouwerehere

A minor Acoustic and A minor Studio comparison Posted on  December 20, 2023 by  dello This is the commercial version recorded in 2015 This is the commercial version I did for the LP DVD.
