What are you listening to right now?

[Voosh]

One of our travelin' buds just passed this evening.

Tough day.

A sad request - some happy, somber, friendly tunes? I can't go search the usual sources right now.


Thank you.




Carla,

I believe ya got your Independence Day, after all the pain and grief, today. We'll catch up on the next trip.


V., Kathy, KathyC and the rest of our ramblin' crew

 

[Rosemary]

Voosh and all-very sorry for your loss.

I find comfort in the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts."

And "One of These Days" by Neil Young.

Best wishes to everyone.

So sorry Voosh.

Voosh, my condolences to you on your friend's passing.

I offer up the beautiful "Sunshine on my Shoulders" by John Denver

[Voosh]

Thnx folks.

The tunes are special.

Carla was special.

Her family is at war about what should happen now. GEEZ! I have been asked to intercede tomorrow. Great! Good thing I have my bro-in-law in town from DC here right now (lawyer,) a good lawyer friend from here and two forensic psychologists at my back.

Some of her folks' have been throwing punches (physical) over details. I will not carry a Glock. I will be dressed decently and go in to talk this out tomorrow with them, by myself. I will kick the sh*t out of anyone that gets unruly. Carla deserves better than stupid family politics. We will get this resolved and respect her. Period.

And, here I thought I had a "free" week to go up north with family. ...

Voosh,

I regret that you have to go through this. We do for friends what we need to do. You may find that if there is so much as a nickle involved that you have six people fighting for the nickle. It's ALWAYS about the money. Sad.

 

[Voosh]

Kevin,

Yep. Totally stupid. I will be polite when I deal with, I'm sure, an ongoing saga.

Why the f*ck do we do this to ourselves and all around us? I happen to think that finding peace and SBH are good goals.


IMHO


Gotta run - dawg is howling about his latest catch in the back. He's always dumbfounded when I show up in the dark and, with this broken foot boot/cast, and say "What's next bud?" "After that we give you one of those "doggie breath thingies.""

Vienna: Billy Joel

Sorry for your loss, Voosh. Aren't family dynamics always fun?

 

[Petri]

The Bottle Boys from Denmark.

The song starts at 1:40. Before that you can enjoy the danish language, which is somewhat similar to speaking swedish with a hot potato in your mouth.

I wonder if Tuborg is sponsoring them.. anyway, a good excuse to drink beer.

[MIke R]

todays Casey Anthony nonsense made me dig up this tune and play it

[Rosemary]

I think of Colin Raye and "I Think About You." Big blue eyes and a heart of gold...

 

[lloyd]

Really enjoying "Kings and Queens", by Blackie and the Rodeo Kings

Annie Lennox, A Whiter Shade of Pale

[MIke R]

love Annie Lennox a lot.... but there are some songs which are such classics in their original form, that they shouldn't be covered

 

[KevinS]

The next time that we're in the same place I'll play you an acoustic version of AWSOP, with piano by David Lanz and organ by Matthew Fisher from Procol Harum. You'll have an opportunity to rethink. You may come to the same conclusion, but it's worth a listen.

 

[Voosh]

Re: Carla's passing.

She never visited "that isle." Yet, she traveled a lot.

I tried my best. I lost. Two family members took over and said to me "We'll take care of this without you assholes being part of it." Shrug. They made secret arrangements without family or friends included (TOTALLY WEIRD.)

We'll be getting together to respect her as soon as everyone is back in town and pix are collected. Don't know what the idiots did or if she's buried or in a jar - they are not invited to the memorial. No way.

Sigh -

A great tribute to some of my mentors. Just a taste.

And another cheap plug for my "godmother."

And, Mr. Tedesco could play anything with strings on it. Allegedly, the most recorded guitarist in history.

The Wrecking Crew...Very interesting. I never knew any of that. What a time that must have been making all that music. Thank you.
