People leaving, people trapped. Nothing I could do but watch. Soon I was inspired to write about New Orleans people. Desperately, I wrote, looking for the right words and phrasing. It came to me like a flash of lightning. It hadn\u2019t been too many days earlier that I was listening to my friend Jo singing. She sang with great passion and sincerity. She was the only one who could convey the message of this song. She graciously agreed to record the song. She heard &#8220;Back To New Orleans&#8221; on Friday and we recorded it on Monday of the next week. Wow, what a voice. The jazz sound flowed out of her like it was her own. Many thanks go out to Jo. She is so talented. Kevin, my nephew, played lead guitar and definitely made it his own. This song was the start of a noticeable journey which I\u2019m still pursuing. From New Orleans to Mississippi to New York, it\u2019s making its rounds. Love ya, Jo and Kevin.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>I&#8217;m on the Brink<\/h2>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-59-7\" preload=\"auto\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/everysecondofeveryday.com\/dannycockram\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/07-Im-on-the-Brink.mp3?_=7\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/everysecondofeveryday.com\/dannycockram\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/07-Im-on-the-Brink.mp3\">https:\/\/everysecondofeveryday.com\/dannycockram\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/07-Im-on-the-Brink.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>A positive song about being On The Brink??

Water never disappears from Planet Earth. It just re-circulates through the clouds. Drink it in, wash with it, cry it through your tears. It\u2019s not just symbolic; it is real, just like Jesus. It gave me chills when I thought of the whole concept. The water evaporates from his brow and is rained on our lands and lakes. I want some of that water.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Let&#8217;s Shoot for the Moon, alternate recording<\/h2>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-59-14\" preload=\"auto\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/everysecondofeveryday.com\/dannycockram\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/14-Lets-Shoot-for-the-Moon-alternate.mp3?_=14\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/everysecondofeveryday.com\/dannycockram\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/14-Lets-Shoot-for-the-Moon-alternate.mp3\">https:\/\/everysecondofeveryday.com\/dannycockram\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/14-Lets-Shoot-for-the-Moon-alternate.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>This version of &#8220;Moon&#8221; is closer to the original in &#8217;86.
