Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

Daniel~ said:
I hate it when this happens!
I totally trust Rick and I'm sure he knows why he likes what he likes. Given his track record, He's no doubt right in this case.

But this song just doesn't talk to me. left to myself I wouldn't even listen to the end.
I do like how excited he gets when listening to it.
I watched it, but I was only into it for Rick.

My feeling is that if Rick can't sell me on it no one can.
But I can see a bit of why Rick says people hate them.

I don't hate them, I just can't hear what Rick hears.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy Rick get so much out of them. Kinda sorry I don't.

I don't know Cold Play from hot mayonnaise. I like the chord progressions---BUT the singer has a terrible voice. Maybe as bad as mine in this register. So as you say sort of, Rick knows a hell of a lot more than I do.

Step back for a minute Mr George.
Will persistent negativity ever get us anywhere?
What is to be will be. We don't need to love or hate it.
We need only understand it.

Civilizations have risen and fallen in the hundreds.
Civilizations concentrate power. They must if they are to grow and serve us. Power attracts those who would harm us for their own benefit.

Global warming is just natures way of saying f*** you. ":O}
And be honest, somebody had to say it!

There is much said about the time., not so much time in passing but time as a place where things of a feather come together.The Time.
In coming together they mass and gain prominence
in gaining prominence they gain power..
In gaining power they cultivate abuse to befit themselves.

Here's what hardly anyone ever sees coming..Even thought it's happened a million times.

Here's what Daniel sees every day.

Time and times change.

What is to come has come many many times before. This is history as prophecy.

Evey time a civilization falls it leads to darkness. but spreads the seed that will flourish with the return of the light.

Every civilization begins in light and ends in darkness.
If you want duration become a seed and wait in full confidence for the return of the light.

And pray our time in darkness will teach us to
to love again the light we have lost.

There is a power in this world beyond most men's power to grasp. That power lies in return.
What always and everywhere returns is the coming of the light.

Trust in the day of returning, trust in the light.
Here's the lesson every civilization lost before it fell.

For a thing to become Great, it must first be in the right. The rest is just
"ignorant armies clash by night."
Smile Mr George, it will hasten the coming of the light.

Wonder how far this band can go on Mr Fold's voice?

I kinda like Ben, he has grown on me but only in measured amounts.

The coolest thing about him is how he doesn't appear to actually need a piano stool :)

One might leap to the fact that our knowledge base is all we have. Yet that leaves a lot of room for other improving mental activities.

How did we gain that knowledge base?
Before we gained it were we not ignorant, did we not seek knowledge to "Cure " ignorance?

Once we satisfied ourselves we were no longer ignorant
did we become more knowledgeable or self satisfied
in our continued ignorance?

Here I borrow again from the Guru.
Look upon what we think we know, bask in the glory of having obtained the truth that will set us free.
Not let us look up from our self congratulations
And behold a universe of which we know not even a fraction of a tiniest fraction of one percent.

Look at those who are closest to you, what do you know of them but a tiny fraction of what it means to be them.

We don't notice these "Little" gaps in our "knowledge"
because we tell ourselves we know what is important to know.

But how can we possibly know that? When we know cosmically speaking nothing.

The Christians Jews and Muslims all have "World" views, they dis agree about many things but can live together so long as nobody brings up those world views.
Then all things must be settled upon the field of battle because we "know" that's what a God we never met wants.

To identify with ignorance isn't just a way out of conflict. It is simply the recognition of our natural state.
To embrace our ignorance is to regain our natural curiosity and wonder.

Learning becomes something cheerful and lite
We can go on learning forever with out ever thinking we know anything.
Not thinking we know is what allows learning to take place.

Then Why did I spend a life time in study of the I Ching?
I would like to think I spent it in learning yet must confess I know nothing...but am still learning.

Why bother when we can never claim any real knowledge. If claims of knowledge is your thing, then learning is not your jam.

But My feeling is that those who understand ignorance
as an open door will always walk though that door. Will always seek to broaden their ignorance.

Yes I know there is real knowledge in this world of ours.
But I continue to assert that ignorant men and women are responsible for gaining that knowledge and only the ignorant truly posses the knowledge gained.

When I identify with what I know. if I am to be honest, must see that I am one of the lest important and most insignificant creatures.Have to be Just look up!!!

When I identify with my ignorance I become as infinite as the universe that I am ignorant of.

When I write I am searching for understanding. Only my ignorance and my recondition of my ignorance makes this possible.

Keep learning stay ignorant so you may.

This song hovers over this movie like a pair of angel wings.
My favorite part is when the nurse searches frantically to find a dying man's son. Her lays out the situation to the phone operator then
tells him urgently
"This is the part in the movie where you say you'll help me."

I like this, and he's got a Cole Clark guitar which sounds absolutely great. Both Ben Harper and Jack Johnson play them, too. I'd never heard of the company before today, but here's a link:

https://coleclarkguitars.com/

Look at this one, it's a gorgeous work of art to my eye:

Australian guitar and Australian player, good combination ;)

This guitar sounds very subtly different and in a way I can't describe.
By "Australian" wood I think they mean Tasmanian. Can you imagine (edit) really (edit) large trees growing elsewhere in OZ?
