**THE CHARMER**

The son of Vietnam
One whose thunder did return
The voices of the past
Try to keep from getting burned
But love is never lost
And he prayed to live another Dawn…

And he went to the West
They say its God’s Country
And he survived nature’s test
Hard living is soul’s foundry…

He loved the girls and let them cry
He didn’t care if he lived or died

And they called him
The Charmer

A Buckeye ‘till the very, very end
A few old flames and many, many friends
And sons and daughters will defend
Life’s currency is finally spent…

Final meeting upon the mountain
Charmer’s heart, an eternal fountain

And they called him
The Charmer

**LETTERS TO HEIDI**

I’m captured in a Marvelous time
Years are like minutes
When your love fills my heart
I write letters to you

Letters To Heidi

One more day on the road
No place to call home
Weeks an eternity
Without you to drive me wild

Letters To Heidi

I love you, I want you
I can’t breath without you near
No peace of mind
Driving alone down that dark country road
And I cry my heart out

Letters to Heidi

Before I had the keys to your love
I couldn’t unlock my fears
Love letters fly, fly like a dove
Our heart’s rhythm fill the page

Letters to Heidi

I close my eyes, and think of sweet things I said
I sing songs without words
My heart stops and flutters
I know you’re waiting for me
I love you so much…

I close my eyes, and think of sweet things in bed
I sing songs without words
My heart stops and flutters
I know you’re waiting for me…

**RIO SAN JUAN**

Drivin’ on 40, on old Route 66
Destiny searching, just hit or miss
And my friend Nate King Cole had it right
He said, “just get your kicks”
While we drove, through the night

Friends of mine, by my side
And I see the Rio San Juan

Foothills shine in the desert night
And a million stars, always a awesome, pleasant sight
And the mesa I see (And I think)
Hippie’s delight
Over there, Monument Valley; Beauty all around, always astounds

In a little hurry, now she’s gone from my sight
…I see her, the Rio San Juan

**WHEN THE BELL RINGS**

There is no sign of Humankind
I seem to be someplace, Home is nowhere
Then the bus picks up Johnny
And takes him to the school, school yard haven
When the Bell Rings…

I’m six years old and I can’t believe it
Teacher Angel, she sings knowledge to me
I got my lunch, and a pencil too
A little dodge ball, time to go
When the Bell Rings…

She goes to school in Austin town
Learns the rules, suffer fools
Deans List, the honor roll
Her ticket wrote, but she knows – Oh, no no
When the Bell Rings…

Teach your heart, and show the soul
Little Johnny, he’s first to know
Kid’s all think she’s tough but posed
Nothing’s gonna stop the learnin’
When the Bell Rings…

If I could just stay here…

She sees the other, low and lonely

Blue and pink collar
It’s a mad, mad romance

Well the trumpets are loud
And the bass is playing low
He just wants to dance, yeah…
And she says, “That I’ll pass”
The silent tears, as she runs away
He stands there dyin’
Suddenly afraid…

It’s a decade of dues
That she has paid
On the concrete paradise
Oh, yeah
It’s a mad, mad, mad romance
It’s a mad, mad, mad romance

**Hosted by Mike Dawson (Songwriter, Composer, STEAM Advocate)**

Today’s guest is David Chudwin. He’s the author of the book “I WAS A TEENAGE SPACE REPORTER “ (Published by LID Publishing)

This book is primarily about David’s experiences as a young newspaper reporter covering the historic Apollo 11 space mission for the University of Michigan paper *The Michigan Daily*. His informal style takes the reader back to the days when daily reality was focused on space missions to the Earth’s Moon. He was the only NASA credentialed college newspaper reporter at Cape Canaveral during the Moonshot and his book[ I WAS A TEENAGE SPACE REPORTER](http://davidchudwin.com/) expertly chronicles his magical experiences as a 19 year old journalist.

*
"At the start of 16 July 1969, just after midnight, I boarded the Apollo 11 capsule to go through a several hundred item 'switch list' to assure the ship was ready for crew ingress. I was very excited to be a part of this historic mission leading to our first landing on the Moon. David's book gives one a great perspective of the excitement and experience of someone outside the Apollo Program!"* - **FRED HAISE**, Astronaut, Apollo 11 Backup and Apollo 13 Lunar Module Pilot

This book is primarily about David’s experiences as a young newspaper reporter covering the historic Apollo 11 space mission for the University of Michigan paper *The Michigan Daily*. His informal style takes the reader back to the days when daily reality was focused on space missions to the Earth’s Moon. He was the only NASA credentialed college newspaper reporter at Cape Canaveral during the Moonshot and his book[ I WAS A TEENAGE SPACE REPORTER](http://davidchudwin.com/) expertly chronicles his magical experiences as a 19 year old journalist.

*
"At the start of 16 July 1969, just after midnight, I boarded the Apollo 11 capsule to go through a several hundred item 'switch list' to assure the ship was ready for crew ingress. I was very excited to be a part of this historic mission leading to our first landing on the Moon. David's book gives one a great perspective of the excitement and experience of someone outside the Apollo Program!"* - **FRED HAISE**, Astronaut, Apollo 11 Backup and Apollo 13 Lunar Module Pilot

**Hosted by Mike Dawson (Songwriter, Composer, STEAM Advocate)**

I am excited to present today’s guest, drummer/producer Brady Blade. He’s best known for recording and performing with world renowned musicians such as Emmy Lou Harris, Dave Matthews, Steve Earl, Charlie Sexton, Doyle Bramhall,. And if this this list wasn't enough, Brady has make music with The Waterboys, Indigo Girls, Jewel, Patty Griffin, and Soloman Burke. The Brady family has enjoyed a long musical collaborative relationship with the Canadian music producer/songwriter/ performer Daniel Lanois.

This is one of three interviews that features the Blade musical family. While this interview is with Brady Blade (Jr.), upcoming Dreamers2Makers broadcasts will feature conversations with his brother Brian Blade and their father Brady Blade Senior. It is not an understatement to say that the Blade family is a music and artistic force on par with Bach or Gershwin.

Today’s podcast was recorded at the Blade family home in Shreveport, Louisiana. It was a great pleasure to reconnect with Brady and hear lovely stories about his family and musical life.

**Hosted by Mike Dawson (Songwriter, Composer, STEAM Advocate)**

Today’s guest is Pastor Brady Blade. He’s best known for his 58 year ministry at the Zion Baptist Church in Shreveport Louisiana and founding the legendary gospel music group The Hallelujah Train. He’s the husband of Dorthy Blade and the father of world renowned musicians Brady and Brian Blade.

It is not an understatement to state that the Blade family under the parenting of Brady and Dorthy Blade have become an artistic, musical, and inspirational tour de force equal to the Marsalis and Neville families.

This is one of three interviews that features the men of the Blade musical family. I had originally planned to conduct one interview with my friend Brady Blade Junior during a return to his childhood home in Shreveport in May 2019. While interviewing Brady Jr., he suggested that I interview his Dad, Brady Senior.

So after I wrapped the interview with Brady Junior, I rushed across town and found myself in Pastor Blade’s office surrounded by guitars, amplifiers, and books spilling from the many bookcases

My interview covered many subjects and details about his life as Pastor at the Zion Baptist Church and as singer/bass player leading The Hallelujah Train gospel group.

It was one of the highest honors of my life to interview Pastor Blade.

Horns arranged by Dawson, Paliga, Spencer*

**Featuring**

Damon K. Clark - lead vocals
Mike Dawson - Steinway piano, synthesizers, songwriter
Mitch Paliga - tenor saxophone

**THE CHARMER**

The son of Vietnam
One whose thunder did return
The voices of the past
Try to keep from getting burned
But love is never lost
And he prayed to live another Dawn…

And he went to the West
They say its God’s Country
And he survived nature’s test
Hard living is soul’s foundry…

He loved the girls and let them cry
He didn’t care if he lived or died

And they called him
The Charmer

A Buckeye ‘till the very, very end
A few old flames and many, many friends
And sons and daughters will defend
Life’s currency is finally spent…

Final meeting upon the mountain
Charmer’s heart, an eternal fountain

And they called him
The Charmer
