Right now I'm listening to the bulldozers. Nope it's not a band, I'm talking real bulldozers as they clear the lot next door to my house. I hate the sound of nature being torn away.
listening to green fields of france..neighbour has it on repeat..
well how do you do, young willie mcbride,
do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
and rest for awhile neath the war summer sun,
I've been working all day and I'm nearly done
I see by your gravestone you were only 19
when you joined the great fallen of 1916
I hope you died well and I hope you died clean
or young willie mcbride was it slow and obscene..
did they beeat the drum slowly,
did they.............
some of the greatest antiwar songs came from the debacle of WWI. "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is a particular favorite of mine. Green Fields of France is also up there. I'm reading two books on war and its causes and effects by niall ferguson right now, and it is definately some stuff to chew on...he's a very original thinker.
PoP: so sorry 'bout your dozers. that sucks out loud..
kona: hat tip big time for your brilliant 5 things feminism post...you took that far beyond the whole "meme" genre. bravo...for those who haven't seen it, click on kona's homepage and check it out.
there's a whole school of guitar thought that lists django as the first "lead" guitarist. it's an interesting conceit, but flawed in many ways. he was definately original and the way he approached things changed the way every other player has looked at the instrument since. that's enough for me. i loves me some django
Greetings, Music Man. Hope you have a lovely time at your mama's birthday celebration.
What I'm listening to, just for today: Dionne Warwick's " Revservations for Two"
Favs off this CD:
Love Power
In A World Such As This
Revservations for Two
For Everything You Are
Yup, its all Dionne, all day. Unless you count the dog snoring.
Happy Trails!
Django might have been the first TWO fingered guitar player of any note.
yo soy Horsedooty!
there are times when i wish i could have django's two fingers to work with than the stubborn 5 on my left hand (i've been told i have a monster right though by some serious pickers, i attribute it to the harp work)
