Precious Lord

Clara Ward’s real nasal her nasality makes her a real moaner
she moans the three in one three words in one word
she moans so that one word becomes three
one becomes three: “thru-uuu-uah”
double-clutches just like Aretha: “thru-ah thru-uuu-uah the night”
sounds just like Aretha because Aretha sounds just like her
Aretha followed Clara Ward note for moaning note
denuded Aretha followed denuded Clara
and did Aretha follow her to the lord to the lord to the light.

Thomas Dorsey was invited to Philadelphia by Gertrude Ward
Mrs. Gertrude Mae Murphy Ward the mother of Clara
in 1931 Mrs. Ward was told in a vision was told to go and to sing
Dorsey was invited to teach the Wards how to sing
how to say his words in a moanful way
Dorsey liked the long moaning groaning tone
Mrs. Ward was told in a vision a vision from the lord
Dorsey taught Clara and Clara taught Aretha
how to say his words in a moanful way all through the night.

Sounds like “feed me” doesn’t sound like the Soul Stirrers
it’s not the Soul Stirrers it’s the Kings of Harmony
the Kings of Harmony with Carey Bradley on lead
Carey Bradley was taught by Silas Steele the first hard lead
Silas Steele sang lead for the Blue Jay Singers
those singers recorded the first quartet version of a Dorsey song
Silas Steele sang hard with a repetitive rhythm
question is can we be healed by repetition
over “feed me” Carey Bradley sings hard: “take-ah my hand.”

Blue Jay Singers the first quartet to record a Dorsey song
in 1931 those singers recorded “If You See My Saviour”
those singers: “if you see my saviour tell him that you saw me”
in 1931 Georgia Tom recorded “Please Mr. Blues”
Georgia Tom recorded in 1931 with Tampa Red
Georgia Tom and Tampa Red recorded a low moaning blues
“Please Mr. Blues” is a deep low-down moaning blues
those singers: “please be careful handle me like a child”
if you saw their saviour you would see Mr. Blues.

Horoscoop

Wanneer de lucht brandt
zal de vlam de dag aansteken,
vuur uit vuur.

Als het blad zich oprolt
groeien in de regenwolken steeds
rozen uit rozen.

Als de winter ijskoud is
splijten in de luchtballon de doden
steen voor steen.
