The Power of 7 Grains!
By MR Hurtin

'Power of 7 Grains!  Power of 7 grains!"  I used to shout out as a schoolboy, "The Power of 7 Grains!"  You see, there I was, tender age of 15, shouting out my slogans for a bread and deli company, trying to compete amongst the sounds of busy foot traffic on paved cobblestone roads. 

Most would walk by and give me a smile or a pat on the head.  "The Power of 7 Grains!" over and over, again and again.  More often than not I was not a very effective salesperson, for I was barely in my teenage years.  But trying to sell bread on many hot afternoons taught me valuable lessons-- and I never will forget those few, rare occasions when a man or woman would place a few dollars in my hand and say "I'll take one, please." 

Many years have passed since then, and to look back now from so long ago it strikes me how my bygone days certainly apply to these times.  

First off, let me explain, MR Hurtin has replaced Moocher.... it's been a long time coming, but changes are like . 

 Secondly, what did those guys from brokeback mountain say when they stopped being farmers and started being gangsters?  
I can't cut you.  

Third, there are many songs that have been worked on a tweaked for over 6 years on this next CD, if we can ever finish it. 

So, keeping all that in mind, imagine my surprise as I revisited that same cobblestone pathway from so long ago.  Sure, the hustle and bustle of foot traffic has given way to cars, megamarts and storage facilities, but if you look real close,  like I did, on the ground, outside some stores, or in conversations with other people, you just might find some wheat, oats, buckwheat, barley, corn, wheat bran, and millet. The power of 7 grains.
