That's how I recall it, also. As class instructors, we were given a canned "spin" and told to gloss over it. There was also another unusual statement somewhere(don't recall what it was) that we were told to fudge by momentarilly dropping the volume. AHA!---I just remembered. It's the place where he means to say "sits there like a diamond" but instead says "sits there like a duck".

"Tithing" might be a good place to start. (posting what one truly believes) It's one common factor we have all shared in this TWI equation. "Cancer= possession" might be another good starting point. Just trying to address the issue of credibility.

The Yardbirds----1968

I know you WANT an answer to this, but I'n not going to give it to you unless you can show me you NEED it. Oh, sorry. That's the "willingness and ability" thing. I get mixed up sometimes.

I can't remember the last time we watched TV together. (Not counting the morning news for weather, traffic and closings.) She likes "Lifetime", "Law and Order" and Sci-Fi stuff. Myself, I would just as soon put on some music and try to jam along. I never seem to get any better but I do enjoy it. Good thing we have a basement where I can do that.

Thanks, Jonny Don't know how I missed it but that's some pretty cool stuff. Biggest "steelie" I ever saw was just over 14 lbs.(not my catch) Yeah, I see the tie-in now to the anniversary thing. Two people sharing an activity they both enjoy, what could be better?

Jonny Could you point me in the direction of the clip you mentioned? I can't seem to locate it.

Electric Flag(1967)-----Wine, Wine, Wine!

"Goodnight Sweetheart"?----Don't know the artist

Is that last one "Get A Job"-------The Silhouettes?

I'm sittin' here with my grandbaby Clara Belle(That's short for Helen). She said "Golly Zed, Grandpaw, what about folks who can't talk on account of a physical problem? How do they confess 'with their lips' even if they do believe in their heart the raisin' up part? I said,"Now, Lambchop(she reminds me of the sock puppet on that old kid's show), maybe you best be askin' your brother Cletus(That's his name) on account of he knows a bunch about how A=B if C=12+73 or somethin' like that. Now where do you 'spose that youngen come up with a sayin' like "GOLLY ZED"?

HCW Re: Your post that talked of "hating" VP" or "being mad at him" for snookering his followers. I am not mad at him nor do I hate him. I do, however, recognize that I was snookered. That's a big obstacle that one must overcome in order to start to see what happened in the proper perspective.(IMO) It's like standing in front of the room at an AA meeting and admitting you are an alcoholic. "Hi, I'm Waysider and I've been snookered." (See there? I'm starting to feel better already.)

Well,now, let's see here. God told VP that He,God, would teach him stuff nobody had seen for 1,000s of years. Just to be on the safe side, though, maybe we better have the legal dept. check to make sure he didn't make this same promise to someone else. <_<

Here's an aspect of the work we did that I think is noteworthy. When we worked in the garden or "manna" food co-op in Fellowlaborers, we all knew that it was we, ourselves, who would benefit from our labor. Much of what we ate came as a result of the work we put into those two efforts. No "weeding of the chard"= No salad at the next weeks' supper table. We were the recipients of the product of our efforts. In that scenario, at least, there was a tangible benefit that was obvious to the participants. There were, of course, other projects that made no sense whatsoever. These are the efforts that are more difficult to understand in any sort of large scope. Am I correct to think that it is these efforts that are the focus of this thread? Just askin'.

Ummmm. Could you repeat the question?

Breakin' Up Is Hard To Do-----------Neil Sedaka

" What's a DONEY?" It's an old term used to describe a gardening tool. ( Not a shovel or rake) Bet your goin' fishin' all of the time. Your baby's goin' fishin' too. You can bet your life, your sweet wife gonna catch more fish than you. Many fish bite if you've got good bait. Here's a little tip that I would like to relate. Got my pole. Got my line. And I'm goin' fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin' and my baby's goin' fishin' too. Double entandre is a big part of what makes the blues so much fun. It seems to have become obsolete with the hip-hop generation. 40s and 50s blues has some of the most creative (and fun) you will ever see.

Lambano, lamballo, laballo, ballo, ball, throw, throw it out. Yeah! Yeah! That's the ticket! THROW IT OUT! Sorry, that's not a preposition. Preposition,pre-position, reposition, missionarry position, deposition----Now we're getin' somewhere. That's Riiiiiiight!

And then, of course, there's "working the crowd". Lots of that went on, too.

Wow! Anybody who says no good music is being made today, hasn't heard these guys. I had never heard of The Fray until this appeared. Shame on me. If you weren't familiar with this song, you might be easily convinced these guys wrote it. They made it their own. The instrumental parts were just what was needed and no more. Hard to not get carried away and play too many notes on something like this. The vocal was dead on. Captured the true essense of the song(IMO). OK--- Back to topic, now.

Carey Bell-----My Eyes Keep Me In Trouble(RIP Carey)

This is for Jonny and Polar Bear since we've touched on the subject of harmonicas. About 10 or so years ago, I went to a Paul DeLay gig. The club owner decided to have a contest to see who had driven the farthest to see the show. I won(150 miles). The prize was 2 tickets to the next show, Carey Bell. The crowd was light at that show (Sunday night) so I got to sit at the bar and shoot the breeze with Carey during his first break. He was a very sweet and open guy. I'm going to post some youtube of Carey playing "The big 64" in 3rd position, not using the button. Since the 64 is in C, this makes the tune in D(Dmin.). You could also play it in 2nd position on a G harp(diatonic). Note that he plays it through some type of FX gear. I have no idea what type. This is where the guitar players jump in and say, "Geeze, Waysider, that a hoopy doopy flang-o-matic." At least I'm HOPING they do because I'm quite lost with a lot of the pedals and special gizmoes. Also, note that the guitar player(Steve Jacobs,maybe?) seems to be using his index finger to very adeptly pick in both directions (no finger picks in use) OK--- I'm not too good at a lot of this stuff yet, so I'm putting this on my next post.

Actually, Peter Tork was already a veteran of the Greenwich Village folk scene when he joined The Monkees. He and another folkie buddy of his (some guy named Stephan Stills) were both supposed to audition but Stills did not go to the audition. The rest is history.

HaHaHa! Kinda reminds me of that Dylan song,"You Gotta Serve Somebody". Not sure of the exact title. Sounds like a good excuse to visit youtube, though.
