If you knew at a young age you were going to lose all you had attained in life, How would you spend those ebbing hours? B y the living god what a courageous and joyous spirit "Meet Joseph"
It's kinda funny, you'd think she had the name like... Rocky, or Smoky or Hard Stomper...but she's a Courtney!
I love this girl! Now she sings James Brown? Can she get even higher in my Pantheon of Greats? I'm sure she will. Thank you for this Great Post Daniel!!
Joan brings with her a little water from another time," About that quote Back when most folks got their water from a well pump in the front yard or out back; the pumps all needed to be "primed". This was done by pouring water into the top of the pump to the pipe down into the well. enough water was needed to create a suction at the bottom that the pump handle could work off to bring the water up. a frequently seen sign on such pumps advised the users to "leave a little water for another time" so the next guy could prime the pump and so on down the line. One of my favorite pieces of trivia.":O}
She and the band do a very, very good job with "...Grapevine." Yet the original was nonpareil, Marvin Gaye (with Motown artists) what a talent! A friend in Port Chester, NY had a well with pump in his front yard. We were told to drink the tap water instead, but sometimes it got too hot in the summer to wait. Ricky Klein, still remember his name. Fifty seven years ago, that was days of old.
Richard Darrel Dinger Was the name of my very first friend. We were four and had matching cowboy out fits. I don't remember who had the fastest draw.":O}
Mr Hooker sure plays guitar in a raw, primitive manner. Noticed that long ago but it didn't quite click until now. That's not a bad thing, it's just his style. Senhor Santana has an envy worthy axe, that Paul Reed Smith was probably four grand. His fingers dance on those PRS bird inlays on the fretboard.
I like the way that the Stones are respectful to Mr Waters and his music. The addition of Ron Wood wasn't really helpful. Blues doesn't need an orchestra of guitars. The Rolling Stones brought the blues back to America, I'll always respect them for doing so.
All I know for sure of him is that we laid low a thousand cowboys before we turned 5 and our horses always came when we called. Neither of us had any use for Dale Evens. ":O}
