Open Mic #5
Open Mic Volume Five
“Big Daddy” Abel wears his heart on his sleeve, and has his “real” heart in the right place. He lays himself emotionally naked for us to read, ponder and absorb. This, is real, at times all too real. Be prepared; guard yourself, as “Big Daddy” takes you for a “real” ride into his real mind, real heart and real soul.
Hi! Introductions may be in order, yes? Only proper thing to do I think. I am Big Daddy Abel. A singer, guitar player, & entertainer. Usually my "job" is to entertain. Getting people to laugh, dance and sing and just have a good fun time. However, at times... my mind goes beyond that. It goes a little deeper and sometimes, as I've been told, a little TOO deep, (I used to be a school teacher in my former life. Shhh! Don't tell anyone.) Thank you for giving/sharing your time here with "my thoughts". I hope you feel something positive on the other end of it all.
One of Big Daddy Abel favorite quotes “"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future."
Here are some of his favorite bands/musicians: Van Halen (1976-1984), The Beatles, Aerosmith (1973-1989), The Black Crowes, Prince, Seal, Led Zeppelin, Butch Walker/The Marvelous 3, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Alice in Chains, Love/Hate, Buckcherry, The Cure, George Clinton, Mozart, Electric Mayhem, The Soggy Bottom Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fishbone, Too Much Joy, Beethoven, the kid down the street learning guitar.

If you have been following this digital short series, that is your basic stream of consciousness from a very caring human being, you have noticed the size of Open Mic volume 5 is a bit larger, almost twice the size for the same price. To know BDA is to love him; he wears his heart on his sleeve, and this installment is no exception. He was pretty bent back in late August when he was just done writing this and then he lost it to the thieves and gremlins of cyberspace. Since then he has been trying to reconstruct the feel of it. He felt it was his best work to date, which says a lot. I for one am glad he got the opportunity to finally finish it; he is one busy guy.
Open Mic 5 is pure straight up BDA at his best. He dives right into the major topics of today, giving his bent on many issues, and he hits the mark time after time after time. His care for others, the environment, basically for the world we inhabit just pours out of his person into the virtual pages. He imbues his spirit into every word and sentence. If you haven’t had a chance to get a read on this series, please grab Open Mic Volume One, start at the beginning, and find out why this series is so popular. By the way, Open Mic Volumes One through Four were at one time ranked 1,2,3,and 7 in their category on Amazon Kindles Top 100.Open Mic Volume One received 53 ratings. I think it is safe to say that it is a no brainer dropping the $.99 on this.
