-------------- -------- "Jaberwocky" by Lewis Carroll(from the novel "Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found") Twas brillig, and the slither toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe All wimsy were the borgroves And the mome raths outgrabe "Beware the Jabberwock, my son The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" Etc. Etc. Etc. This poem is often used as a teaching tool in understanding context.

Cowgirl Is the one you are looking for the version by Oliver? It is from the movie"The Prime of Miss Jean Brody"(1969) starring Maggie Smith. Oliver sang this for the movie as well as for release as a record(if I remember correctly.) Has anyone mentioned "Trust in Me" by Etta James? That's another great oldie love song. Also: Could it be a version by Rod McKuen you are looking for? He wrote the song.

Ain't that what it's really all about? :)

A La RE: King Crimson ---Here is a snippet of lyrics from "Prince Rupert Awakes" ( Sinfield/Fripp) from their "Lizard" album(Vocals on this one were guested by Jon Anderson of YES): Farewell the temple masters' bells His kiosk and his black worm seed Courtship solely of his word With Eden guaranteed For now Prince Ruperts' tears of glass Make saphron sabath eyelids bleed Scar the sacred tablet wax On which the lizards feed. King Crimson as well as The Moody Blues were pioneers in their use of what, at that time, was a new and revolutionary instrument called the Mellotron. This was a keyboard that resembled an organ. Each key activated a prerecorded tape of an actual instrument. The tapes were interchangable and typically displayed strings and other voices associated with a symphony. You could hit the middle C key and hear a recording of an actual violin playing a C, for example. Their albums were meant to be listened to in entirety much like a symphony. The Moody Blues actually used The London Symphony Orchestra for their first venture into this type of music and then switched to Mellotron. If for no other reason, listening to these two groups is a tremendous history lesson in how music made a seemingly quantum leap from past to present.

"Boudreau the nutria rat"

OK I broke down and Googled it. I had to go back 2 pages to find the version I remember so well from high school. I had to go back 5 pages to find the original. I had no idea it had been covered so many times and by such prominent artists. Great tune!---Did anyone post this on Cowgirls' "Romantic Songs" thread?

Holy cow! I can hear that song plain as day. I can even sing the next verse in my mind. I just can't get the title and artist to appear.

I think you have it. Go ahead and give it a shot.

Said the straight man To the late man "Where have you been?" "I've been here and I've been there, "I've been in between." Ever notice how on their first 2 or 3 albums there was always a mellow tune strategically placed? That was back when the context of the album was just as important as the content. Albums were meant to be consumed as a whole rather than isolate a single tune.(my opinion) That is something that has been lost in this MP3 age we live in. Anyway, my all time favorite KC is on album 2 or 3,"Prince Rupert Awakes."(Jon Anderson on guest vocals) I saw them in Cleveland in about 1970 right after their personnel change. They had a totally different sound live. Heavy sax and very much avant gard jazz flavor. Thanx for the memories.

Don't make a fuss Don't tell your friends about the two of us The original,please.

Almost forgot At Last-----------Etta James

Twilight Time-------The Platters Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye-------The Casinos Precious and Few--------Climax The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face--------Roberta Flack version And just in case the tempo is getting too slow---I Want To Hold Your Hand by "The Fab Four"

The Worst That Could Happen----- Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge Man! What a range that guy had!

Tom Strange I still have my vinyl of CTA. I got it at a garage sale for 50 cents. Just kidding.(I do still have it though.) Remember all the intrigue surrounding "25 or 6 to 4"?(second album, I think) Everyone knew 25 was code for LSD since it was an abreviated way of saying Lisergic Acid Diethilamide 25. But what was 6 to 4? Turns out it was just about a guy looking blurry eyed at the clock as he tried to pen a new song in the wee hours of the morning. Still got some Cold Blood and Zephyr too but that's another story.

It's been forever and a day since I did this so you should verify my info. At most health food stores you can purchase a sprouting "kit". It is really just a Mason jar and a set of plastic lids that have different sized holes(like a window screen). You can do the same thing with cheeze cloth and a rubber band but the lids are more sanitary as you can put them in the dishwasher. You put the seeds in the jar and select the correct sized lid. Fill with water and drain a couple times to clean the seeds. Fill with water and let set overnight. In the morning, drain, rinse and lay the jar on its side.(not in direct sunlight) Rinse 2 or 3 times a day to keep mold from growing. Laying jar on its side spreads the seeds out so they are evenly exposed. That's all there is to it. Consume them before they get past the sprout phase or they will get quite bitter. Refrigerate to stop the growth process. Remember that a small quantity becomes a jar full as they sprout. Check to make sure the seeds you want to sprout are not a type that produces toxins. If you stick to the old "standbys" that shouldn't be a problem.

Kathy Yep. It is a small world. If you visit Deltashieks.com and click on The Pumpkin Show you will find your co-worker at stage right with the violin bass and Sean at stage left with that blonde hollow body he so skillfully commandeers.

I have sprouted all the common seeds such as mung bean, peas, alfalfa, lentle, etc. but never flax. You can find any kind of info you need on the procedure online and the necessary eqt. at any local health food store. Sprouts, in general, are very high in B vitamins. Flax are quite hardshelled so they may take a bit longer than others. My personal experience with sprouting is that the rinsing process is vitally important. I would think that the nutritional benfits of sprouted flax would be somewhat different than that of using raw seeds or cold pressed oil. Also, it is my understanding that some seeds take on a toxic quality in the sprout stage. I don't now if that applies to flax. When your sprouts reach the desired stage of developement it is important to refrigerate them to inhibit the growth process but they will get moldy if you don't keep them rinsed. Sprouting is super easy and it gives you a sense of having taken an active part in your nutrition.

OUCH!!!

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! Sean Carney takes Beale St. by storm. The Sean Carney Band placed 1st in The IBC(International Blues Challenge) in Memphis, Tenn. Sean also was awarded The Albert King Award for BEST GUITARIST. Sean is working the west side of Canada right now for anyone intersested.

no idea. doesn't sound familiar.

FreeAtLast--------Yes, I have heard some pretty wild first-hand accounts of Burning Man. I think SXSW(South By Southwest) in Austin might be more to your liking. Hundreds of bands come together to show off their "wares" for music industry reps. The reps, of course, are there looking for fresh "product". There is also a very large film component to the event. I think it lasts about a week. OK-------back to ROA now.

First one I went to was at Shelby Co. fairgrounds.(1972?) A bunch of us basically decided on the spur of the moment to grab sleeping bags and jump in the car. It was only a 2 day event so sleeping under the stars wasn't all that bad. I had been to some non TWI festivals and ROA didn't seem all that different except for the absence of drugs and ---ahem---"free love". The music stands out for me more than anything else as a good memory. After that it kept getting more and more regimented and less and less like that first one I went to. By the time I quit going in about 1980 it was more like something I would take my Grandmother to instead of that first one that I probably could have taken my hippie friends to. Other than my first one, the weather was always the big spoiler.

Well, this is slightly off topic, but I recall Johnny Carson once stating that back in his day, "safe sex" meant checking to make sure the parking brake was engaged before climbing into the back seat of a '58 Buick.
