Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright; the band is playing somewhere; and somewhere hearts are light; and somewhere men are laughing; and little children shout; but there is no joy in mudville- great casey has struck out.

More From Ernest Lawrence

The young mouse's eyes snapped open, clear and bright. he swung the ancient sword high and struck at the giant adder. he struck for redwall! he struck against evil! he struck for martin! he struck for log-a-log and his shrews! he struck for dead guosim! he struck as methuselah would have wanted him to! he struck against cluny the scourge and tyranny! he struck out against captain snow's ridicule! he struck for the world of light and freedom! he struck until his paws ached and the sword fell from them!

But there is no joy in mudville - mighty casey has "struck out."

One time in spring training, we had the hit-and-run on, and carl erskine threw me a curve and i struck out into a double play. i came back to the bench and casey [stengel] said, 'next time, tra-la-la.' i didn't know what tra-la-la meant, but next time up, i hit a line drive, right into a double play. when i sat down, casey came over and said, 'like i told you, tra-la-la.'

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

All those experiences were a chance to learn more about music. playing with the valley band is like such a "live" band. i mean, really, in many ways bright eyes is really a studio project. we form bands to tour, but it really is - you know, we take the songs and we figure out how to decorate them and it's all in the studio, we build the songs that way. whereas mystic valley band was the exact opposite, where everybody knows what they are gonna be playing on the song and there's sort of a general stylistic approach, and then it's just plug in and play.

I don't care if it's bruno mars or aerosmith or zz top... it's about songs. 'paperback writer,' 'satisfaction,' 'cat scratch fever,' 'walk this way,' all the killer songs in the world start with an identifiable guitar pattern that is basically a bastardization of either honky-tonk or boogie-woogie. and that's in every cool piece of music in the world that you and i love.

It was my 16th birthday-my mom and dad gave me my goya classical guitar that day. i sat down, wrote this song, and i just knew that that was the only thing i could ever really do-write songs and sing them to people. [...] everything on this record is what i really wanted to say, and i'm back to being the poet i always thought i was.
