How lucky we are to know GREAT COMPANY!
Above, I'm a happy fella with Madame Marie-Marthe Balin Franck Paul in Little Haiti, Miami, January of 2023. after Maryse and I brought computers and JAMBARS for students in Haiti. Photo by Maryse.
Mme. Franck Paul, Maryse's aunt, now 87, is founder and Principal of College Canapé-Vert in Port-au-Prince. Click to visit our Partners in education at stickingupforchildren.com. Again, many are those who do good ... without an iota of A.I.!

Leftward, lights are strung about a Live Oak in New Orleans City Park by a Park volunteer, Christmas-time of 2022. We make these freely adorned lights Symbol for the TRACK-A-DAY feature that's staring on July 30. 2023. Over 100 songs and poems for music have come to me since 1988. What better can I do than give back from the brilliance that partner musicians have delivered?
First track offered on the Sticking Up For Children (SUFC, don't-cha-know?) Jukebox is "Bobee (What A Spirit Walks That Way)" from Roger Lewis' album ALRIGHT!. We start with three excerpts from Roger, Herlin Riley and Kirk Joseph of the Rivers Answer Moons band and then. come Wednesday July 2, "Bobee ..." with Herlin and me on vocals.


Happy as we may be to enjoy great families and friends, wherever we live, we know by now, July of 2023, that we, the working-class and middle-class people of the world, are under Global
Attack. Those Corporations that lack conscience (the 100 Strategic Partners of the World Economic Forum for prime examples) have embarked from 9/11/01 into " 'COVID-19' " forward
on programs to use Big Lies and 21st-century technologies (technologies that are our classes' inventions) to reduce our freedoms more into mass enslavement or mass 'Sudden Death Syndrome'. Our genius, however, rebels and re-arises with irresistible compassion and creativity. My pieces in the Flipping the Script blog over on the WeAreRevolutions website and pieces on the Stands the Human Being blog and Substack are offerings that combine with many, many--millions unto billions--who REALLY 'Improve' humanity through their insights and resistance.

ALBUMS. Three from I/R Records are among the top 25 Jazz albums charted by Roots Music
ReportS for the year 2022. Listen on Bandcamp and Download in full fidelity there.
The World Economic Forum and its 100 Strategic
Partners among especially exploitative Corporations of the Neo-Colonial world are waging a War Against Humanity that has accelerated over the past four years under covers of " 'COVID' " and " 'Climate Change' ". Call it the WEF WAH for short.
The series of WEF Files profiles, offered here through my Stands the Human Being blog and Substack presents leading Agenda Contributors to the WEF as extremely driven and energetic individuals ... who have become pathological imbeciles in their services to the WEF's global Techno-Fascism, the WEF's 21st-century 'New World Order' of enslavement by Banks of the Northern Hemisphere.
Among the profiled are J. Michael Evans of Ali Baba (and once of Goldman Sachs), Helen Hai of Binance and the United Nations, and more obvious subjects such as Bill Gates, Chrystia Freeland, and Justin Trudeau.

"Prosecute 'Em!", cataloging crimes against masses of
humans during our " 'COVID-19' " era, is part of my
'Stands the Human Being' blog and Substack.
You are one / Light among / Many Lights, / Ever-changing, / Invaluable, / And meant to shine / Ev'ry moment of our lives.

Here's a February 21, 2023 )Mardi Gras Morning in new Orfleans) rendering of the poem about Paul that I first wrote on May 25, 2022.
PAUL PLIMLEY
​
Paul, you ginger-haired Jack
with a smile
Popping up behind the couch
As if out-of-a-box
For your Willie Winkie,
Post-performance, morning greeting!
​
Oh, yeah--Paul liked fun!
He liked to "orbit round a light-bulb" (Donald Robinson).
Aussi, he engaged with Joycean
Grape and knife, exile and crown,
Several serious challenges
There in keyboards and philosophies.
His Jaguar was an Emerald-Green
Station-Wagon. Don't 'cha just know
That Practical Style Malcolm Lowry
On his own Island might appreciate.
Home, Vancouver,
Ultramarine skies and mists
Beckoning Harborward,
Into Van's Mystic, far past Gray’s End.
Paul, you, the solid, elfin prodigy
Runaway stampeding
Beyond Rachmaninoff and Oscar Peterson
To Cecil's Beethovenesque runs and shocks,
Whilst never forgetting Sunday Comics
In the Sun and Province
For colors and whimsy
Unstoppable as Sun Ra's pageants.
The whole deal, newspapers and panoplies, might make Catharsis
After World Wars.
Where there’s Dance, there’s Hope, Paul!
Your tender child’s peering into grown-ups'
Conversations found something else,
Apart, round the Corners,
So delicious and so endless.
You had to bring it to the world!
Your sweet self’s pondering and wrenching craft
Hath made things new.
Don Paul

In 2013 Hamid said to me in New Orleans: "Paul Plimley! One of my favorite people in the universe!" The video of th 2-part "AFRICAN SPACE PARTY" performance is to me one of the great Passages Upward in the Western world in this century. I enjoy ... Party 2 even more.
