Fate or Destiny? They could be one and the same. Zeno from Louisiana truly sang and lived the blues. I played for his 100th birthday celebration in the aged San Benito House in Half Moon Bay, Calif.
Zeno was in his full dandy suit dressed to the 9's drinking his 7 and 7's. There were rose bouquets hanging from the old chandelier lights in the dim bar. He got up to sing with me playing guitar next to him. I asked him what we were going to play. Zeno said "Just start playin', we'll find out". Living the blues.
Lyrics
Heaven's Destiny
- by David Elias
The moon was golden just like the sun
Clouds were furrowed just like your brow
These days of old have just begun
To catch up back where we are now
And those dreams of gold don’t grow on trees
They seek the bottom of the sea
When you are old and look like me
You’ll follow heaven’s destiny
Dreams of old have just begun
Shining through the dust and sun
When you are old and you look like me
Remember heaven’s destiny
That ring of fire may burn some wings
Sure as the crow and sparrow sings
Well they’ll float on down to easy street
And call it heaven’s destiny
