Spring of ’73 my friends Mike & Janna got married and asked me to sing for their wedding. I wrote a song for it, “Something Good”. It was about them, but I’d just started meditating, and maybe it was about that, too.
Mike was an artist, total comics freak, and explorer of astral planes, Janna his

life-line, anchor. Their wedding was outside Metropolis in a meadow, at the bottom of a hill. In my memory the sky’s cerulean & the grass emerald. Mike walked down one side of the hill with his friends, Janna down the other with hers. I was a the bottom with the preacher, singing “Something Good”.
I don’t want to brag, but Mike and Janna are still happily married.
A recording of “Something Good” is below, it’s lyrics under that.
Something Good
Something’s got you singing
a new song every day
Something’s got you smiling
as you walk along your way
Chorus:
Something good has come into your life
something fair & beautiful to see
something good has come today
Now you don’t know why
but you’re laughing
& your fears have flown away
you can’t fight the feeling
that’s filling up your hearts, and
(Chorus)
Now your true love takes your hand
at your side is your best friend
All around loved ones stand
Your eyes fall on the sunlight
that dances cross the clouds
A river flows inside you, its current deep & strong
(Chorus)
The song’s on my About Time CD.
