Oh, I couldn't resist the Earle song that got me hooked form CMT. (sad the CMT ain't what it use to be...)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytHMQyJf ... re=related

And they even took if off the regular .50 cent a hit on those gadzillion song juke boxes at me favorite pool playing watering hole miles away now. But sadly soon enough I will be closer... though not Abbey Road in Lemon-minister as I have called it for years. Or Lemon-town too, from time to time. Leominster is the proper town 40'S Club is still in.

I always thought Litteton was a town tougher than the leo city, which is a twin city to Fitchburg. (and I just resisted using the b word. lol)

[quote="agnes"]you know, all i wanted to do is maybe post this song (what a crazy idea)...and i found this!?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=T6i8HHrz2BI&feature=related
i don't know what it means!

agnes, If you think that is cool (and I do) you will love this portion from an interview on NPR with Paul Simon. The question was something like where is the strangest place or context that you have ever heard one of your songs?

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/stor ... Id=1951161

Once you've gone to the above page, check the second clip in the Interview Highlights section.

I thought it was so cool. Next to Arlo, Paul Simon is my favorite. Let me know what you think.

PS I dig ArloNet way better than The Neck of My Guitar website for Paul.

(I've said this before and I still mean it) When I rediscovered and fell in love with Arlo again, then found ArloNet and all of my blunder friends here, it felt like coming home.


Love and Peace
Primula

PSBeaty,

I dug the War Dance for a Wooden Indian.

It made me smile.
( Even though I'm having a migraine and menstrual cramps. Merlin's hairy balls! I'm too damned old for this. They made me go off my hormones because I'm too old and fat and the doctor said I could have a stroke! Then I should be too old for periods! Never had none for the last 10 years. Where the hell is menofrikenpause when you need it! Sorry if that's too much information. I tend to do that according to some sensitive people.)

But I guess I ain't sofistikated enuf to properly enjoy that 120 second project nor that Eugene feller's musik. I liked what he had to say though.

Working on Love and Peace,
Primula Brandybuck

I better go work on my favorite hobby, napping.

2 new videos I did up. One is of me playing my mountain dulcimer at the Bodie Island Lighthouse in Cape Hatteras Island, NC, May 2008, the other day. The other one is of Mike snoring. I got proof so he can't deny it lol...


Cheryl, I loved your mountain dulcimer! Now I want one! Your song also reminded me where I should be leaning. Thank you for reminding me.

As far as the snoring goes, I can not tell a lie, I snore too. I'm very glad your hubby is such a good sport. I know I would be a very bad sport and so does my hubby. He's a wise man and that's probably why I'm still married after all these years.

Love and Peace,
Primula Brandybuck

I am glad you liked the Wooden indians. Just want to explain that Raymond Scott made "cartoon jazz" with his quintett in the 40's but turned to eclectronic music in the 50's. He actually rarely used the Varese montage style heard here (and used by the Beatles on the White Album..number 9 number 9 number 9..). But if you listened to telivision in the late 50's to early 60's, anytime they needed a "modern" sound for some reason (usually commercials) it was usually Raymond Scott (Theremin's were boring and Moog was not on the scene yet). So his strange talents are cartoon jazz and weird electronic sound in TV commercials of the 60's. Moog made Raymond Scott's sounds widely avalaible by the early 70's.

And, I don't believe I have ever heard Eugene Chadbourne called sophisticated. He has that extreme artsy quality and he is quick to reject convention and "appropriate" standards in musical interpretation. My first encounter were two albums from the late 80's, one a tribute to old country music (Hank Williams era) and the other a tribute to Tim Buckley (it had a mesmerizing version of the The River that migrated into Chase Your Blues Away). Tim Buckley was out there a bit already (of course I like it). THen. from an entirely different source, I heard his tribute to Thelonius Monk (another very Strangely Talented human). I like it because he makes music that sends my mind in different directions and that is why I listen to music. (I had heard of Shockabilly in the early 80's but never associated Eugene with them)

I can certainly understand where you are coming from!

Da da da da dat's all folk's...number 9 number 9 Num ..Ber....9

People keep on calling for #9 #9 #9 and when I answer there is no one there. I was number 9 of 10 and if you count my Parents I would be #9 and #11, 911.

When I was assimilated by the Borg, I was known as 9 of 7. I didn't escape by the way, they just let me go.
