Whose turn is it to throw some more wood on the fire. I swear I did it last time.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

I've got some pepper tree logs that I kid you not last about 4 hours on the fire, and they're only 6 inches in diameter and 18 inches long!
(yeah, you guys think I'm bragging!)

I'll have one beer, but I'm gonna conk pretty soon... had a gig last night, and I'm sleep deprived.
Found out our next gig is the night Wilie Nelson and Bob Dylan are playing in town. So if I can get my lazy band to do a little work... we're gonna do "Time of the Preacher" from The Red Headed Stranger... pull up a log.
It was the time of the preacher
When the story began
Of the choice of a lady
And the love of a man
How he loved her so dearly
He went out of his mind
When she left him for someone
She'd left behind
And he cried like a baby
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night
And he saddled his pony
And he went for a ride
It was the time of the preacher
In the year of '01
Now the preachin' is over
And the lesson's begun
But he could not forgive her
Though he tried and tried and tried
And the halls of his memories
Still echo her lies
He cried like a baby
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night
And he saddled his pony
And he went for a ride
It was the time of the preacher
In the year of '01
Now the lesson is over
And the killin's begun
It was the time of the preacher
In the year of '01
And just when you think it's all over
It's only begun

Music sounds good tonight.
Sometimes it's good just to sit around the fire, and talk, and sing.
You guys are great - did I mention that?

Hey gc!
Did you ever check out that Peter Murphy song I got all excited about a few months back? I'm listening 2 it now. It's quite beautiful, and gets one's feet all a'motatin' if you know what I mean!
Peter Murphy: "I'll fall with your knife"
"To the crowd
To the world
You were so dry
And with the token bird I made
Sent it to fly right to your side
With the broken wing you sailed
Oh like winter in July
A barren river wide
I'll pray for the flood
To wash on you
It's here I'll be with you
Well if the birds can reach the sky
To this land I'll be with you
'Til the sun bursts from your side
With my hands I reach to you
When you think your chance is passing by
When you blow your moon away
I'll bleed like the reed
Fall with your knife
It's here I'll be with you
I'll fall"
I'd love 2 hear your band play sometime...

NO going 2 bed so "early" gc!
I've just about finished my 4th beer! Opened the roof hatch 2 whip out my big 9.25" tube assembly, but it clouded over before it got even dark!
I hate the "marroon layer", 2 depressing! I get claustrophobic!

I'll try and find that tune, 2long...
I remember the words, but I'm sure I haven't heard it.

2long,
Your last post sounds like something that would be printed in Penthouse Forum right after "I'm a young midwest college grad considered good looking by my friends"
I mean if I had ever read that.....ever.....never mind.

I'm in 2long.....and I did "steal" I'll fall with your knife off of WinMX after you had talked about it. Not bad.
Lately I seem to have a penchant for female folk singers and have listened to a lot of Lucinda Williams, Mary Gauthier and recently Kathleen Edwards. Good stuff.
Darn twist offs....who's got an opener?

Last night I was friendly with the bartender, and he gave me free beers all night, even after my I'm-in-the-band drink tickets were used up.
Not to suggest I get bombed or anything when I play. That's not for me.
Anybody ever listen to the NPR show Speaking of Faith? JustJ reminded me about it a few weeks back. Excellent show.

2long - We have the marine layer here too. It's funny. My boys (20 and 23) had never seen real stars until we went camping up in the mountains several years ago. They were amazed.

Cool! Let me think about the female vocalists that are my faves a bit.
I'd never listened 2 "barenaked ladies" before I saw them on the Today show about a year ago. Then, I downloaded "For You":
"For You" - Barenaked Ladies
I have set aside everything I love
I have saved everything else for you
I cannot decide what this doubt's made of
Though I thought over it through and through
In a book in a box high upon a shelf
In a locked and guarded vault
Are the things I keep only for myself
It's your fate but it's not your fault
[CHORUS:]
And for every useless reason I know
There's a reason not to care
If I hide myself wherever I go
Am I ever really there?
There is nowhere else I would rather be,
but I can't just be right here
An enigma wrapped in a mystery,
or a fool consumed by fear
[CHORUS]
I will give you all I could ever give
Though it's less than you will need
Could you just forget, if you can't forgive
All the things I cannot concede

GC Gc: About a kagillion years ago (that's a technical term, denoting GREAT AGE), I was drinking with classmates in one of the hot pools at the hot springs in Saline Valley, CA - gadzooks, that must have been about 1983! - and my fingers got so pruny that even opening them damned Miller's cut me all up. Didn't realize it until the next day... ...come 2 think of it, I didn't realize a lot of things until the next day! ...I used 2 listen 2 OMD in those days. -ol' 2long

2long....bare naked ladies are Canucks....I saw them here at the university bar years ago before they got big. A little stage about 6 inches off the ground in a room that held maybe 350 people. It was great...they're hilarious.
