    I certainly felt like that once upon a time. But no longer, happily. Nice to be old and lame sometimes, neh?

    Here is a Nanci Griffith that's nicely universal. Too bad she shows us a parade of Orangemen with Scottish bagpipes at the start. 'Fraid that Orange is the color of the oppressor in Northern Ireland. Not to mention the English subjugation of the entirety of Ireland for hundreds of years. It's kinda too bad that Catholicism rules the the oppressed in Northern Ireland. Mongo doesn't approve of it either. I guess this might translate to "we are so flocked," which may be the story of this song.
    Ignore my comments at your leisure.

    This is one sad LP from Emmylou that commemorates the death of her significant other, Graham Parsons. She wrote all the tunes on the record. Have a handkerchief handy, I know that I need one for this record.



    Not sure the whole LP is here, if so GREAT. Just wait for a while after the first song and the next will play. Maybe.

    And another Mr Marley. Just in the slightest of chances that you don't know "Jah" is God.

    The thing about great art is that it hits us at every level. But more it hits us at every age we have lived though.

    We can hear music as a child we once were and understand it as the adult we are.
    Your pretty much exposing me to Nancy for the first time...Many thanks.":O}

    My feeling is that the only thing that can be objectionable in Art is a lie.

    Good point. If something I don't like is a lie, how could I not dislike it? There's plenty of art I don't like that's most likely not a lie.

    As the SEALS used to say when passing a group of Army Rangers in training, "can't take it, can't take it." They passed by while happily tossing a telephone pole over their shoulders, back and forth. SEALS are definitely the best Special Forces soldiers, but all of them, SEALS or not are simply assassins for the state.

    Such people are needed in this "best" of all possible worlds. It's too bad that some states are bigger liars and are more self-deluded than the rest.

    PS. Army Rangers are not Special Forces. And good for them!

    "Tell it To Me" is sure not a happy song. Not sure I've been there but it sounds familiar, but not musically. Maybe, dare I say it..soulfully?

    "Heart of Saturday Night" is definitely a keeper. It's interesting...have you been there before or is it something new? Can't tell and that's probably the point of the song. Perhaps.

    It's too late in the day for me to search for some good songs. Brain not work, apologies.

    This song I have known since my late teens. Mimi is Joan Baez sister. Richard met an very early end in a motor cycle wreck.

    This song is a musical self examination that leads with inevitability and grace to our own front doors.



    If there's a way to say I'm sorry
    Perhaps I'll stay another evening beside your door
    And watch the moon rise inside your window
    Where jewels are falling, and flowers weeping, and strangers laughing
    Because you're grieving that I have gone

    And if I don't know why I'm going
    Perhaps I'll wait beside the pathway where no one's coming
    And count the questions I turned away from, or closed my eyes to
    Or had no time for, or passed right over
    Because the answers would shame my pride

    I've heard them say the word "forever"
    But I don't know if words have meaning when they are promised
    In fear of losing what can't be borrowed
    Or lent in blindness, or blessed by pageantry, or sold by preachers
    While you're still walking your separate way

    Sometimes we bind ourselves together
    And seldom know the harm in binding the only feeling that cries for freedom
    And needs unfolding and understanding
    And time for holding a simple mirror
    The one reflection to call your own

    If there's an end to all our dreaming
    Perhaps I'll go while you're still standing beside your door
    And I'll remember your hands enfolding a bowl of moonstones
    A lamp of childhood, a robe of roses
    Because your sorrows were still unborn

    Maybe I are not too smart, I didn't know that the Farinha siblings were also Ms Baez's brother and sister. This song is nice, if a bit didactic. One thing I wish for is an end of the never ending tremolo in the more famous sister's voice. Can't listen to Joan anymore.

    But I do like the fact that "Diamonds and Rust" features my musical hero James Jamerson on bass.

    Here's an example of James Jamerson's work as the premier bassist for Motown.



    Yet I must insist, contrary to the singer's wishes, no one belongs to anybody.

    I don't at all object for a vacation from musical examples.

    Sorry, couldn't resist another musical memory. The song builds, please try to be a bit patient.

    This song has a bit of a history. The guy who wrote did so for a class in folk music. He got an F as his teacher did not believe that he could write so well in an idiom 100 years in the past.
    A great favorite of mine.




    I Think this is the only song I know by Janis. But this song would put anyone at the top off my list.I learned more of the pain my sisters know from this single song than from all the others combined.
