Tom Jones doing "Volcano" would work out just fine. Ry "Ry Cooder's album "Borderline" is another favorite of mine. Even in Japan, all of Ry's albums have been remastered except for that one. I would kill for a remastered version of "That's the Way the Girls are in Texas. I loved your ideas as well! Dixie Chicks 'Unfaithful servant'. And somebody keeps ordering tequila: Funny how effortlessly women can tend to do that to us men. Not knowing Deb personally, no way to know if she threw the curveball just for kicks, or if the pitch just got away from her.
Yes, her info was related, but somewhat off topic, and of course, welcome.
Don't get offended Deb. JQ, I was asking for who you guys would like to see cover songs Rick or Richard sang. Some interesting suggestions there JQ. Vern Gosdin is a good singer. I agree with you that most Band covers i've heard don't do it for me. Got to disagree on one thing though. Richard, Rick and Levon sang in their natural voices. To your worthy observation about so many new singers sucking, most newer acts should be ashamed of themselves.
There are so many ridculous "songs" that aren't even musical getting plenty of airplay. Shape I'm In, King Harvest, like nobody's business. Nothing makes me want to stick Brown into the car CD player more than when my husband pops in Endless Highway. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Tamblyn and his kids in Canmore this summer. He was very friendly and after talking about music for a few minutes I mentioned I was a huge Band fan and he said he was also a fan and really liked Robbie's guitar playing.
I also caught Murray Mclauchlan at the Canmore folk fest and he was great. He talked a bit about Canadian music at one of the workshops and mentioned The Band. I was the only person in the audience who cheered at this. Is there any Band song that would work as an instrumental? Entered at Thu Nov 27 Jeff0 - I'm not certain I have the this right. Are you asking for recommendations of covers extant or suggestions for the best artists to cover a Band tune?
Something I've noticed with younger bands now is that they sing in their authentic voice. It's like a 21 year old pimple-faced Appleby's bartender giving advice about life. Of course it could just be that in the 60's so many white singers patterned their singing style after black singers and the new crowd doesn't do that anymore.
Uncut put out a disc a few years ago with groups that have cited The Band as an inspiration. The rest of the groups on that effort leave me cold for the reason above. I'd like to hear Seal try Whispering Pines. Consider Amy Winehouse for Rag Mama Rag or anything really; she would likely bring something new to it at least I'd bet.
Jeff, the great DL is still around, last seen touring the UK this fall. I met the man back stage in '74, aged 15! I'll give you more details the next time we're at that off-Broadway tequila bar we always seem to end up at: Thanks Thanks, Empty Now. Peter Cook was a huge star here before substances took over. Thanks for the song. I play it from time to time and feel Paul wrote it forme.
SawDennis Locorriere last year in Bill Wyman's band. Hello Serenity Entered at Thu Nov 27 Blondie Chaplin for Whispering Pines. I hope all the Southern Canadians have a great holiday.
Reward Yourself
Serenity, it is great to check in and see that you are back. Please stick around this time, ok? Of course it's not really a blues song. On a related topic, Crosby did prove he had great potential for blues or gospel inflected singin with his performance of Long Time Coming Gone? A Thanksgiving Story I found this one fascinating, and hope you all find it the same. Take care and I love you all. That song's about the big 49 of US history, the California gold rush of , which also figures in the campfire song "Darling Clementine" and Bandish pseudo-epic song by the Toronto group Lighthouse.
The California rush was perhaps superceded in public mythology by the Klondike gold rush fifty years later - see various works of Jack London who you mentioned in another context a couple of weeks ago, I believe and Robert Service. Definitely more interesting than sadoku. God speed Mother Nature, you know I never really wanted to say goodbye.
Pay attention, the football sucks this afternoon and Bill may have a pop quiz on the song. The mouse is in control. Everybody seems to have one in hand. Last Thursday, I mentioned "When I Die" and included a Youtube link for the others who have never experienced the joy of that song. Thanks for reviving your top 5 - but what link last week? But my favourite's always been the rock and roll stomp of "Goin' To Toronto". Joe, You might find Shot of Love and Infidels worthy to seek out.
Shot of Love features the very moving Every Grain of Sand, which I have been playing in my head this week, and Infidels is very topical for today. A Canuckistani Top 5 list to mull over. I hope some of you looked up that link last week 3 Music Work - Tragically Hip Alone in the office blasting my music yeah! Great guitar line and Garth of course. The eastern world, it is explodin' Violence flarin' bullets loadin'. Might as well weigh in with my two cents worth on Ry Cooder.
You probably can't go wrong with any of his early albums but one that no one else I know has ever heard is 'The Slide Area' in which our boys Cooder, Keltner, Drummond etc. A teenage Joey J was decidedly unimpressed. Actually it holds up very well. Dylan is in good voice; the Band, a little ragged but very right. The bottom of the barrel is in sight.
Maybe that first album is the next on the list. Happy Thanksgiving all you rebs. Something to do regarding free masons I think Perhaps it's the 20th century equivalent to the riddle of the Sphinx Entered at Thu Nov 27 It could be Urban Legend but I heard that 12 and 35 were the ages of a mother and daughter who walked into the studio area while the song was being recorded. It had been raining so hard that they needed to get out of it and Bob found out they were those respective ages I kinda like it now - and certainly appreciate it more than I did way back when.
The basic 'stoned' pun is clever in a stoner kind of way i. But what's with the '12 and 35' business? Maybe the numerologists who answered the '25 or 6 to 4' question have some theories? Happy Thansgiving Entered at Thu Nov 27 Seems like we can either talk politics or not here. I try not to as requested, but it's hard to let some observations go without a response. For what it's worth, I'm perfectly confident about Mr. Obama's ability to lead. Peter did you bring up Rigby this week because of the auction?
The unproductive session soon degenerated to a marathon binge. Keith was seen recording his vocal track, listening to playbacks with Cropper, and kissing girlfriend Annette Walter-Lax for the camera. He was also interviewed clad in a red bathrobe at his Sherman Oaks home about the Who's early years. Hope all is well. Been very busy as usual, but miss you all like crazy. Things look the same still. That's a good thing. Blondie Chaplin for whispering Pines. Yeah, Dylan wrote it, but we know it well as a Band song, Danko vocal.
I'm just going for the obnvious songs, not picking any of the hard ones, and not thinking too hard either. Across The Great Divide? George Jones, on a young day? NB, see any job ops for that Byrnes guy? Steve - No-one's mentioned the album yet, but Get Rhythm is a terrific album. Finishes off from memory with a beautiful song called 'Across the borderline', a duet with I also like the Crossroads soundtrack, with it's yet another reinterpretation of 'Crossroad Blues' 'Somebody's callin' my name' and some originals But PEter and David's suggestions are fully endorsed by me Here is one to keep the scholars busy for a while!
This probably is a futile pursuit. I don't mean sound like The Band. I mean sound like I'd want to keep listening. It's just I have a hard fucking time listening to anyone else do these songs. The Other 4, sure. Rick, Richard ,Garth or Levon's other bands or efforts were usually amazing. But take Band members out of the equation, I've always been nonplussed.
All that said, the best gawd damn effort at this is coming up. The Garth Hudson produced Band tribute album. But, here's my scholarly assignment anyway, should the scholars or lay people choose to accept it.
Product description
If you were producing a Rick Danko or Richard Manuel Tribute album, which acts would you choose to perform which songs of either vocalist? Band members and family are excluded. Also, acts or artists have to be alive. Even if they are not always perfroming together, there must be the opportunity for it to happen. The Desert Rose Band, for example, well, they are doign hsows together.
Maybe we'll have two versions fo it. Okay, not so futile. Pick the right artists, it oculd be done. Still, I may be a schmuck, but I think i'd still rather hear the originals. Maybe that's one of the things wrong with what the labels are doing. Back some great original music by great legitmate artists, not tribute after tribute after tribute. I can barely listen to FUV anymore. Some of these new recording artists, with deals, can barely play their instruments.
Sequencing is not a casual matter. Nor is Dylan casual when it comes to his art. Has it been that long?? All the best to fellow Band knuckleheads during these interesting times. Blondie Chaplin - shows in Norway -updated Posted by: October 9, Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys, a fine Stones tribute band, have two annual gatherings at a local club. Around people turn up every time. This year Blondie Chaplin of the Rolling Stones backing band, will join them.
He's going to play some solo material, and will be invited to join Little Boy Blue on some songs. Preliminary list for Blondie's gigs in Norway: Bekkestua - Onkel Blaa. Oslo - Parkteatret Oslo - Herr Nilsen I love his music with Mink DeVille but when I listened to his trio Then again, since I haven't seen him since the eighties I'd catch him if he was in town Doc Pomus really liked him too. The point was to show how even that cover Tremulis Orchestra was previously posted on Little Pink.
It was great again to see Blondie Chaplin there too. Eleanor Rigby Fact or fiction? Blonde On Blonde is a favorite of mine when I am feeling introspective, and that opening song always clashes with that mood. I don't mean to give it a disservice as it is far from awful, and the ragtime band sound is something to be appreciated, but it should have been a 7" single, not an album track. Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans. Must not forget to dig out Alice's Restaurant tomorrow. Entered at Wed Nov 26 I agree with your comments about "Rainy Day Women," that Bob Dylan--as a guy who had a rabbi come from New York to tutor him for his Bar Mitzvah which people attended --was steeped in Biblical images from childhood.

People were stoned to death for committing crimes in Biblical times, a very painful way to go. Hence, "they'll stone you when you're trying to be so good Sorry Sorry that should be 12 hours. Anybody know about this? I am reading a biography of Peter Cook just now. He tells of his attempt to make a record in Los Angeles, some time from July to August in Quite a nice tune. Come the night, Clover Studios are booked, along comes a fleet of Cadillacs containing LA's best musicians - The Band, Ricky Nelson as a vocal adviser, Keith as a drummer and producer, about twenty musicians.
Tull - I agree with you about Black friday - a terrible day to go out as well as a bad concept but hey - it's capitalism and you take the good with the bad. But to continue on the Black Friday theme; my brother-in-law and his wife actually try to get out to stores this evening and find things that they like and then hang them or place them in different areas so that when they get there early in AM, they can go right to them, gather them up and pay for them without fighting over or looking for bargains. Agree completely on Rainy Day Women. Not a Sylvio type of dislike - just dislike.
No Band "hits" I feel that way about, interestingly. Perhaps my least favorite Bob Dylan 'hit', although I enjoy it every so often. To me it is clearly not about getting high. I see the everybody must get stoned' reference as more synonymous with 'you're damned if you do, damned if you don't' Entered at Wed Nov 26 The Greatest Hits Vol 1 was the album. My older brother told me it was about religion. A decade or so later, I realized that the first song I ever learnt to play was a Civil Rights song.
What a horrible invention of the modern world, this Black Friday is. Kohl's is advertising a sale that starts at 4 am. Do their poor workers even go to bed the night before? There is something seriously wrong if you need to be at Kohl's at 4: I don't care how good the prices are. I'm going to be in bed sleeping with my wife and cat and looking forward to my daughter waking up and being home to enjoy breakfast with her for a change, then putting up some holiday decorations, playing with her on the floor with her legos, and then meeting with the animal shelter that evening to go over our volunteer plans as I posted earlier.
If I want to shop that's what Amazon is for, in bed, with a glass of wine and a warm tuxedo cat sleeping in my lap. Ry Cooder's album "Borderline" is another favorite of mine. Joan, on the job training is not a bad thing. We all do it. With the resurfacing of the same old gang, I think Tull may have been the only one here that voted for the man to bring real change.
It's too early of course to tell but he seems to be headed down well worn paths. Steve - I agree with Peter that any of his first albums, prior to Jazz in the late 70's, are good and pretty similar thematically: Consider Ry Cooder or Boomer's Story from his early days. There's just so much stylistic variety, from the record Jazz up through his most recent trilogy, there for cherry-picking. A 1-record recommendation from '78 on is a rough choice to me. Empty, that was a beautiful paean to women. That Lawrence Welk clip was truly awful I think keeping Gates is a wise move. The one thing we don't need now is people who need on the job training.
The economy is an all consuming problem A Happy and safe holiday to all! But you can't go wrong with any of the early ones. You might like the political tone of Into the Purple Valley. I'll be at work while all our American posters will be off celebrating what I hope is, a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving. Play nice on Black Friday! I'm a big fan too. And we were both born in Santa Monica! He's 3 years my senior though and our paths never actually crossed.
It was a Taj Mahal show not The Rising Sons though and the focus was on Taj Mahal but I clearly recall the guitar player, his slide playing I'd never seen that before and his unusual name. I don't think he had a record out then but they came soon enough and were always an exciting get. His shows in the 80s were terrific, albeit rare. The show could have ended then and I'd have been satisfied. When Little Village came around I was truly stoked and the show I saw is in my top 2 of ever.
He and Nick Lowe did a charity show this summer in San Fran that drew good notices. I'm not a great fan of his vocals though and wonder if he even likes his singing voice that much. He seems to cover that by employing other vocalists in his groups and albums too. On the newer stuff I think of him as more of a narrator than a singer per se.
I find it interesting that Obama, who ran against the Iraq war, has chosen to keep on Defense Secretary Bill Gates, the man running it for President Bush. I am neither supporting that nor condemning it, and from what I have read it might be the best thing for him to do while he focuses on the economy. Presidents often run on one platform only to find that thier presidency is ruled by a completely unforeseen set of circumstances. One of the rationals for Bush in was that he may not be very experienced, but the world is at peace and the economy is good, so he won't be a bad caretaker president.
I was at a party and he was invited as well a long time ago Dallaire was in command of the UN force in Rwanda. Kevin, I guess we'd have to agree on what kind of songs J2Rs was talking about in that piece you posted. If I don't answer - it's not because I don't like or am not interested in what you say - it's merely I have nothing worthwhile to add When the grandeur of an Arab exist, It is simply splendid, and I must add grandeur of a female.
Because this greatness I caught it only once, a passage in Cecil B. De Mille movie, I was even not aware I am Arab, this scene is unbelievably soft. The dialog writing credits are shared by J. Judge by your own Sephora - Which of my sisters did you choose? Moses - I made no choice, Sephora Sephora - She was very beautiful, wasn't she? This woman of Egypt, who left her scar upon your heart Her skin was white as curd Her eyes green as the cedars of Lebanon [thunder of applause from a turbulent group of spectators in the movie theater] Her lips, tamarisk honey Like the breast of a dove, her arms were soft And the wine of desire was in her veins Moses - Yes Sephora - She was beautiful Moses - as a jewel Sephora - A jewel has brilliant fire, but it gives no warmth Our hands are not so soft, but they can serve Our bodies not so white, but they are strong Our lips are not perfumed, but they speak the truth Love is not an art to us.
It's life to us We are not dressed in gold and fine linen Strength and honor are our clothing Our tents are not the columned halls of Egypt but our children play happily before them. We can offer you little but we offer all we have. Where else can you find that race of woman? Anyway, I think I will adopt it for the lyrics of a new Rai song Roz: Alembic is a manufacturer of high-end electric basses, guitars and preamps, founded in by Susan and Ron Wickersham, later joined by Rick Turner, and never forget it Band fans, Whisky is the creation of Geber, no pride to share in reality Entered at Wed Nov 26 Yes, quality is often shite.
The MerleFest download was a great idea from Levon. In some ways, Led Zeppelin can be cavalier about the hundreds of boots because they're making a lot of money anyway. For the David Lindley's who don't sell a lot of records it must be especially galling to see the money go down the drain. The internet has actually replaced bootlegs.
You never see Van Morrison now. Heavy tactics have worked very well on Record fairs. It's hard not to sympathise with artists who see issues quality control being a major one with bootlegging. I also sympathise with fans wanting to hear things. I think I've mentioned this before, but Paul Kelly will allow you to tape his shows, provided you don't sell them for profit you can sell them, but only to cover costs and you must send him a copy Susan just read your plans.
She figures you're gonna end up in Guantanamo Bay. We've got to stimulate the economy by giving our biggest banks more money than it would take to feed all the Emerging Nations for 50 years. The banks, in turn, use the money to give bonuses to all of their officers, except the CEOs who get stock options instead. We've got money for homebuilders to build more houses at an embarassing profit, even though we already have too many houses. We're paying farmers not to grow crops and we bribe nations all over the globe.
The nations whose people want to destroy America get a smaller allowance. We're sending unwanted coal to Newcastle and a large shipment of tea to China. We just donated million barrels of oil to Saudi Arabia, who plan on selling it to China. Today I was told that we cornered the Egtptian cotton market and we're looking forward to storing a plethora of cotton next to our rotten grain piles in the Midwest. You're our first tug boat captain receipient. But there's a catch. Catch 44 twice as bad as the old one. You can't save any of it.
If we find out you're rat-holing any of it then we will have to take it back. Also, if you have any bad toxic debt, we'll pay twice what it's worth because we need to eliminate all bad debt. In nine ot ten years we believe we will have laid the groundwork to pay off our National Debt and balance the budget and STILL invade two or three small countries, destroy them, and re-build them.
Have a great Thanksgiving holiday Band fans! Kevin, to paraphrase Deb" because you believe donkeys can fly, doesn't make it so. It's a song inspired by his divorce, a divorce song. Are you saying there's a certain mold all divorce songs must fit. It's quite different from Idiot Wind as well.
We'll Never Turn Back Police brutality at the May Day march in Los Angeles. He has even half threateningly said that if you buy his bootlegged music, he will come to you in your dreams, in the form of "Badgerman", a Paulie Walnuts Sopranos type character to make you feel bad about stealing his music. He also complains that when someone "stealth" tapes his shows, he may not be "on", that night to the point where he'd proudly release that material himself. This takes all sorts of things from the artist, editorial control, production values, not to mention money. Some content was lost here due to a server error I absolutely adore Annie Lennox.
Here's more of her Entered at Tue Nov 25 Thanks for posting that very interesting article on Dylan. Aren't all of you lucky that we have youtube!!! Annie on piano singing "Why". She was awarded the Award of Merit award. Was there no one else available but Justin Timberlake to introduce her? I've posted her lyrics before on Little Pink. I can still see her with the Eurthymics at Canada's Wonderland. Even if she took off her top she always carried herself with dignity. I understand very well. I'm really sorry for your loss.
One good thing that came from my brother's divorce was that he was able to keep his beloved cat. It was his former wife who brought the kitten into their lives. We never grew up with pets He was the first pet we had. When he passed away I had to take a couple of days off work Last year I gave my brother a special book which honoured him with photographs of the many hats and accessories I had adorned him with.
Four years later my brother now has two other cats Empty have you tuned in yet to the arrest of Rose Kaybuye by the French Gov't? While the French have yet to set a date for Ms Kaybuye's trial, I'm betting that they've bitten off more than they can chew and she'll leave a bitter taste in the mouth of many French, British and American politicians from the mid 90's before it's over. Obama hasn't tied himself too closely to some of the soon to be publicly disgraced Dems from The Sexaphone President's time, the administration that helped prolong the genocide..
Obama Bound, was a lame attempt to keep alive the 70th birthday party spirit of Gord, a guy who whenever I devote some time to his music quickly becomes my favorite singer songwriter. I've been wandering through Gord's music ever since his birthday. I don't think we should hold it against Gord that he did write some of those me, me, me songs, actually many of his best ones are of the me, me, me variety.
He sure put his life and feelings out there for all to see. Maybe favorite poet, singer songwriter would be more accurate. Get outta that gawd damn tree. I see this morning youse guys just shook another billion loose to spread around. Jeez man, I never knew you had that kinda cash laying around. How about floating me a little loan. A million or 2 wouldn't be missed would it????? To bring things around full circle, that concert also included a performance of "Mockingbird" by James Taylor and Carly Simon.
Should've mentioned said link is to a Duluth paper c with quotes from the senior Zimmerman. King's club on 42nd street in NYC. I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up at one of the Obama inaugural balls as well. The ageless architect of rock'n'roll also toured Europe this year. Robbie and Ry could learn a bit from Mr. Berry about survival on the road--and make their fans happy at the same time. During the '80s Ry Cooder was way too busy establishing another career as a film composer. His projects during that decade included: Cooder has also expressed reservations regarding touring and being a member of a rock music group.
Great suggestion, Peter - Ry's one of my all-time favourite interpreters of American music - thanks Joan for those terrrific songs and story - might have to pick it up Likely the souls of recently departed felines. Bad timing though, with winter and all Circumstances the other day dictated that I listen to CDs in the car at very low volume. Turned out to be a surprisingly comforting mixture of an Altman movie and teenage attempts to pull in distance shortwave radio stations.
Usually a bit of melody, clear snatches of lyrics and the occasional burst of bombast - a cymbal, an over-leslied mandolin When Big Brown was played yesterday evening. Bobby is a corporation See link on how to impress your old man. In our many discussions over the years on who could have replaced Robbie in , Ry Cooder was a star candidate.
As a guitarist he's unbeatable. There's always someone as good, but you won't find anyone "better". As a composer he's excellent though more has emerged in recent years in terms of original vocal stuff. I was just thinking about that, and Ry's deep archival knowledge and interest might have got them doing something more like "Dirt Farmer" years earlier.
Cats Just dropping by to catch up and noticed the posts about JTF's cat. My last kitty departed a couple of years ago and Mr. Steve won't let me get another one. Our dog is getting on in years and he is afraid a new cat would upset her since our last cat -- we've had several also -- was the boss in the house. Will head further South to Alabama on Wed. Happy Turkey Day to all who celebrate!
Ry Cooder I meant to post this yesterday. This talk of losing cats reminded me of a wonderful piece by Kinky Friedman. He wrote it as a last remembrance of his cat Cuddles. On January 4, , the cat in this book and the books that preceded it was put to sleep in Kerrville, Texas, by Dr. Cuddles was fourteen years old, a respectable age.
She was as close to me as any human being I have ever known. Cuddles and I spent many years together, both in New York, where I first found her as a little kitten on the streets in Chinatown, and later on the ranch in Texas. She was always with me, on the table, on the bed, by the fireplace, beside the typewriter, on top of my suitcase when I returned from a trip. Her burial shroud was my old New York sweatshirt and in the grave with her is a can of tuna and a cigar.
A few days ago I received a sympathy note from Bill Hoegemeyer, the veterinarian.

Thanks to Bob Merlis The packages will be released on December 9th through Universal Music Enterprises coming forty years after the initial release of Electric Ladyland, the third and final album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was the only Hendrix album to have hit 1 on the Billboard charts. It is, indisputably, the crowning achievement of The Jimi Hendrix Experience and underscored Hendrix's abilities as singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer.
The Making of Electric Ladyland documents the creation of the album that was released in the fall of as a 2 LP set. One of the highlights of the program includes a session with original Electric Ladyland engineer Eddie Kramer who discusses the techniques Hendrix, Mitchell and Redding employed in recording Electric Ladyland and playing some of the original multitrack tapes to illustrate the process.

Didn't Freddy Mercury have like cats before he died? Raymond Chandler wrote very fondly of cats: I was taken in by a stray cat too; she was as much fun as a puppy her whole life. She was my first cat as an adult and my memories of her she died in are steadfast, they never have diminished.
All lot of guys I know hate cats. My theory is that guys that hate cats also hate women, and I ain't been wrong about that yet. Entered at Mon Nov 24 A great memorial to your dear cat. I believe that for everything you lose, you get a good thing back in exchange. It may not be obvious right away,but it is there.
The day I met Richard, I was invited to a private sitar recital. Foolishly I left my purse with my coat in another room. This was an elegant brownstone on the Upper East Side. After the recital finished, I met Richard for the first time. He asked to walk me home. When I went to get my coat, I discovered all my money had been taken.
I was of course upset There was a very mysterious woman in the room. She was tall,very thin,dressed in black with a black eyepatch. She told me that for every loss, there is something given in return. That would be Richard. I got to like it more later. I got used to it. Paradise by the Dashboard light - YES!

Mice, snakes, rats, gerbils - you name it, we had 'em. But most important were our 5 cats. Well, we had to put the final one, Leo with the 9 lives - the baby of the 5, down just about a month ago. I cried when they took him away, but I also felt happy that Leo got to live a good, long, life with people who loved him and treated him like a king. Just last night I made the comment to my husband that Dot, - just would never be an equal to Ms. Katie - our first female cat we got when the kids were little.
Poor Dot - she can't help it. But those cats you have when your kids are growing up become such a part of the family. They can't be replaced. Katie's ashes sit out in our garden in a little kitty statue that has a slot underneath where you're supposed to hide your keys.
Katie in there instead. I know where you're coming from, JT. It's not supposed to be easy. Was that really a meteor that hit the other night, or have aliens landed in Canada? I meant that casual fans don't really know or care who wrote the songs but tend to associate them with the singer. Good to know you're on your toes and keeping an eye on my shenanigans. Steve, if most casual Band fans think donkeys can fly, does that make it the case?
I just didn't want you to think I wasn't paying attention. I know you're a lost cause on that subject -- as am I. Brien, BFB was a great choice and I considered it as well, but opted not to because of the line about his parents being buried by a tree that they loved. As my parents were alive and kicking and would be present, I felt it would stand out as an awkard line for my situation.
Now Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Light would be a hilarious wedding song. I am actually feeling good at least for a moment for the first time since yesterday morning as my wife and I now have a meeting with Richmond Animal League for Friday to start our volunteer work. They also need help with presentations and Powerpoints which I can offer, so I feel we are starting to turn this bad experience into something that will become positive.
I'm late on the uptake here, but are you suggesting that Eleanor and Father MacKenzie got together in the end? If so, that's nice. Presumably Father Mac was CofS if it was to be marriage. A bit ragged, but definitely worth checking out. The felice brothers are one of my favorite bands right now. Was anybody at the Midnight Ramble they played at?
I have to tell you that I honestly could not listen to the whole song. I did not enjoy it. But he obviously was singing about how he was feeling horrible already due to a problem in his relationship when he read about Richard Manuel on the front page of the paper and it just compounded his misery? But was it front page news?
I think it deserved to be Cued up on the stereo was "It Makes No Difference". Not exactly a wedding song, but a favorite of ours nonetheless. There were probably half a dozen Band songs there. To please those that like well known oldies at a wedding, we had a few tunes from Moondog Matinee. No exactly the versions that our relatives expected, but.. We also had "Don't Do It" and "Ophelia". Of the hour and a half of music we played, there were more Band Songs than any other ones.
Thanks for the bit from the interview with Robbie. He's right, nothing raises dust like stampeding cattle. That's why kicking around ideas here at the GB is worthwhile. Even TNTDODD has a bit of Robbie - even if it's not a character, just the awareness that is reflected in the ambiguity las and nas in what the people were singing. Or look at "Smoke Signal". There's elements of Robbie's lineage, of his love for his wife, of the place of the First Nations, of the need for racial harmony see also "We Can Talk" and the problem of gossip see "The Rumour" and also Rick's co-write, "Small Town Talk".
I'm really sorry about your cat. We lost a wonderful English Budgie who had about a word vocabulary. We lost him some years ago, but like Mr Bojangles, "after 20 years he still grieves" We still miss him though it was so long ago. You are right to wait a while to replace him. No other cat will be him, but the new cat will form his bond in a new way. If you replace him right away often it puts too many expectations to be the "old cat" Entered at Mon Nov 24 J2Rs shouldn't have worried about it anyway, most people listening to the songs would be more likely to think it was Richard, Rick or Levon singing about themselves.
The missus picked them and I don't think if we did it all over that I'd change them. Then he says, "Everything you write is personal, y'know? You maybe try to disguise or hide what's real personal about it. What is 'Out Of The Blue' if it's not personal? Or 'It Makes No Difference'? It's downright stoic in its stiff-upper-lipness: Here is this heart-breaking song about soldiering on in the face of unbearable loneliness and suddenly the singer goes, "Stampeding cattle, they rattle the walls.
I don't know about its suitability for a wedding, David! I mean at the end they're getting together because "What else can we do? Not much joy in there. And it's thematic debt to Eleanor Rigby is so strong. Whispering Pines is one of my all time favourites, and it is poignant, but it'd be a particularly miserable wedding, I feel. They're not strong on the "Roses Are red" bit at all, are they?
I buried my semi-wild cat a couple of weeks ago. No idea how old he was, he showed up as an adult about 8 or 9 years ago. It took about 4 or 5 years before I could get close enough to pet him and another year or two before I could pick him up. He left every spring and reverted to his life on the wild side, returning in October to live in the barn and eat cat food. He just keeled over and died a couple of weeks ago.
He's buried in my pet cemetery along with 4 dogs two other cats and a deer. As long as the cat had food, he had what he needed to survive. Having experienced the loss of a cherished cat, I know all too well what you and your family are feeling. I cried this morning for you, your family, your cat, my cat and myself. River Tigris in Iraq, original Sumerian name Idigna or Idigina, from id gina "running water", which can be interpreted as "the swift river", This form was borrowed and gave rise to Akkadian Idiqlat.
I am by no means a counting crows fan Even if it pretty much sucks. This may have been posted before but I am really behind the times these days still on mountain time. Brien, thanks for sharing the story of how Rick came to play at your wedding. I have always been curious about that but never got around to asking.
I appreciate your post as we were both going through our breakups at the same time. My family has had a terrible day today, as we suffered the untimely loss of a beloved pet. We were forced to put one of our two cats outside several months ago and he was really thriving. I had him for eight years, and he was just unhappy with our other cat, whom came first, and the new baby. He was too old for animal shelters which are locally full, and my ex-wife would not take him. So we tried the outdoors, and he was really happy.
He came in on cold nights, but the last several nights he refused, so I felt ok leaving him out. While getting the sunday paper this morning, I waved to a neighbor, and as I looked up saw him in the road. So I wrapped him in a baby blanket with his favorite toys. So tonight it is a bottle of wine and a couple sleeping pills. I don't care what the label says. I don't want to be up thinking about it anymore. Entered at Sun Nov 23 Thanks for clarifying what for some may have been coming confusing, and telling the story of how Rick enhanced your wedding. Rick was a kind, sensitive, and classy person , knew how to make people feel good.
This is a much better sory than the Stone Pony guy story. Thanks loads for that lovely post. It tells a ton I believe. The work on the connection between numerous brain traumas and the early death of NFL players is just in its infancy. Marge watched the program , I just saw the last 15 or 20 minutes, so I'm relying on her for the facts and she's not a football fan.
The medical study is being done at the University of Southern Cal by a guy who had been an NFL trainer who later became a doctor and now a medical researcher. What caught his attention was the number of players he knew personally who had alcohol, drug and homelessness problems after leaving football. He also knew former players who had a penchant for putting a gun to their head and blowing their brains out. Marge said that it also seemed clear that the attitude in the NFL was still the old, suck it up and get out on the field and play, if you can.
Trauma to the frontal lobe appears to make it hard to consistently make rational decisions. Holding a job and managing your life day to day becomes almost impossible. How very wonderful and special. It makes your wedding memories a whole nother thing. Thanks for sharing them. Then with It Makes No Difference, they had part of the wedding Band join in and play and they filled it out marvelously. I saw Aaron directing chord changes.
The band seemed familiar with the music and like I said, they did great. Quickly we felt an almost Last Waltzish aura to thing where players kept filling in more and eventually a guitar solo, and sax solos were happening and the girl singer was doing wonderful harmonies. When they launched into The Weight, the place erupted.
