English Folk Verse (c.1870) - The Fifth of November Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! That's the only portion of this poem I have known up until now, however this year I came across the rest which I have to say I am not in complete agreeance with. Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow the King and Parliament All up alive. Threescore barrels, laid below, To prove old England's overthrow. But, by God's providence, him they catch, With a dark lantern, lighting a match! A stick and a stake...
Hi Dancin' ... your festival photos are great. We also LOVE Little Feat so much, and I learned about the drummer from you just now. It must've been difficult for them to play somewhat, but as a tribute to him I'm sure they gave their all. I love so many of their songs...Willin', Fatman in the Bathtub, Apolitical Blues (!!), but one that grabbed my heart is Voices on the Wind. Do you know that one? It is so beautiful. Jeff is going to a concert tonight with his friend to see J Geils and The Rockets (an old Detroit band). I'm staying home and being lazy and meditative ;o) ... also! love your photo of the wasp nest! Isn't Nature awesome!? It is your love of music and nature that really drew me to you (then there's that Zappa dude-I really MUST check out more of his stuff as I wasn't into him 'back in the day' but my brother and Jeff were... I tended to like what Dana didn't probably just to be ornery!) Have a wonderful weekend, Bud! XO
ReplyDeleteHey Bud! I don't think I know Voices on the Wind but will go and check it out.
ReplyDeleteWas that J Geils formerly of the J Geils band? I hope Jeff had a good time.
I do enjoy sharing music with you bud, you have great taste!!
Ok Frank Zappa; I am not sure where to tell you to start with him, be prepared for anything and enjoy the music, he was a very talented buggar as were the souls who played with him. I look forward to hearing your thoughts! (He just came on the computer - Broadway the Hardway!)
Bye for now Bud xxx
