 Happy Independence Day! Here is mine. It has been a hec of a week. I miss the ol' man. It's all good though. Good times. __________________________ Desperados waiting for a train http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJA4TGOAn98 I played the Red River Valley He'd sit in the kitchen and cry Run his fingers through 50 years of livin' And wonder, "Lord, hell has every well I've drilled gone dry?" We were friends, me and this old man We's like desperados waitin' for a train Desperados waitin' for a train He's a drifter, a driller of oil wells He's an old school man of the world He let me drive his car when he was too drunk to And he'd wink and give me money for the girls And our lives was like, some old Western movie Like desperados waitin' for a train Like desperados waitin' for a train From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe There were old men with beer guts and dominoes Lying 'bout their lives while they played I was just a kid, they all called " His Sidekick" Just like desperados waitin' for a train Like desperados waitin' for a train One day I looked up and he's pushin' sixty He's got brown tobacco stains all down his chin Well to me he was a hero of this country So why's he all dressed up like them old men Drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-two Jus' like desperados waitin' for a train Like a desperado waitin' for a train The day 'fore he died he went to see me I was grown and he was almost gone. So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen And sang one more verse to that old song (spoken) Come on, Jack, that son-of-a-bitch is comin' We're desperados waitin' for a train Was like desperados waitin' for a train ________________  My Punkin*whew* Everything went off without a hitch. It was soooo cute watching daughter and her man during their shock. This is gonna be good I think I'll have a beer and take a nap. It's like I just had a baby or some crap   thanks to whoever it was that I love. Happy birthday young man.

I like this "new" one by Emmy Rossum. I was looking for an old bluegrass type song and saw this. Emmy was in a favorite movie of mine called Songcatcher and was a totally different person. Here is the song I discovered. Below it is the song I was looking for originally. _______________________ Artist: Emmy Rossum Album: Inside Out Title: Slow Me Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0eGe-VV7I8 Rushing and racing and running in circles, Moving so fast I'm forgetting my purpose. Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning, Getting nowhere. My head and my heart are colliding - chaotic. Pace of the world - I just wish I could stop it. Try to appear like I've got it together - I'm falling apart. Save me. Somebody take my hand and lead me. Slow me down. Don't let love pass me by, Just show me how. Cause I'm ready to fall. Slow me down. Don't let me live a lie, Before my life flies by. I need you to slow me down. Sometimes I fear that I might disappear. In the blur of fast-forward I falter again. Forgetting to breath, I need to sleep. I'm getting nowhere. All that I've missed I see in the reflection. Passed me while I wasn't paying attention. Tired of rushing, racing, and running. I'm falling apart. Tell me. Oh won't you take my hand and lead me. Slow me down. Don't let love pass me by. Just show me how. Cause I'm ready to fall Slow me down. Don't let me live a lie, Before my life flies by. I need you to slow me down. Just show me. I need you to slow me down. The noise of the world is getting me caught up. Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it. Just need to breathe, Somebody please. Slow me down. _________________________________ Emmy Rossum singing Fair and Tender Ladies from the movie Songcatcher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAUcOXSDgR4 Come all ye fair and tender ladies Take warning how you court your men They're like a star on a summer's mornin' They first appear and then they're gone They'll tell to you some loving story Then declare they love you well Then away they'll go and court some other And leave you here in grief to dwell I wish I was some little sparrow and I had wings to fly so high I'd fly away to my false lover and when he'd speak I would deny For love is handsome, love is charming And love is beauty while it's new But love grows cold as love grows older And fades away like mornin' dew _____________________________ An Iris Dement Bonus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6ArylRGWME   Some of my favorite genres.
 I have to continue my teasing of BNL, traditionally by playing a song for her. I wish she was around more. _________________________ John Mayer - Your Body Is A Wonderland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAfxi_5jOaM We got the afternoon You got this room for two One thing I've left to do Discover me Discovering you One mile to every inch of Your skin like porcelain One pair of candy lips and Your bubblegum tongue 'Cause if you want love We'll make it Swimming a deep sea Of blankets Take all your big plans And break 'em This is bound to be a while Your body Is a wonderland Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) Your body Is a wonderland Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase You tell me where to go and Though I might leave to find it I'll never let your head hit the bed Without my hand behind it you want love? We'll make it Swimming a deep sea Of blankets Take all your big plans And break 'em This is bound to be a while Your body Is a wonderland Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) Your body Is a wonderland Damn baby You frustrate me I know you're mine all mine all mine But you look so good it hurts sometimes Your body Is a wonderland Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) Your body Is a wonderland Your body is a wonderland ____________________ EDIT: for picture "In 1925 The Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee, begins Saturday night radio broadcasts featuring regional music, helps fuse Southeastern and Western styles, creating country and western genre.Country music is a blend of popular musical forms originally found in the Southern United States and the Appalachian Mountains. It has roots in traditional folk music, Celtic music, blues, gospel music, hokum, and old-time music and evolved rapidly in the 1920s. The term country music began to be used in the 1940s when the earlier term hillbilly music was deemed to be degrading, and the term was widely embraced in the 1970s.
In the Southwestern United States a different mix of ethnic groups created the music that became the Western music of the term country and western. (This is "Singing Cowboy," "Western Swing," and "Hillbilly Boogie" music) Vernon Dalhart was the first country singer to have a nationwide hit in May of 1924 with 'Wreck of the Old '97.' The flip side of this record was 'Lonesome Road Blues,' which also became very popular." _________________ Hank Snow singing Vernon Dalhart's song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNo0cGi1xZU Wreck of the Old 97 They gave him his orders in Monroe, Virginia Saying, Steve you're way behind time This is not 38, but it's old 97 You must put her into Spencer on time He turned and he said to his black greasy fireman Just shovel on a little more coal When we cross that White Oak Mountain You can Watch that old 97 roll It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville In a line on a three mile grade It was on this grade that he lost his air brakes So you can see what a jump he made He was going down grade, making ninty miles an hour When his whistle broke into a scream He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle And was scalded to death by the steam Now ladies, you must take warning From this time on and learn Never speak harsh words to your true loveful husband He may leave and never return _________ I got the info from Wiki. Hehe, I'm hoping this goes better than yesterday's topic lol. What was going on in the rest of the world as Blues/Jazz dominated The United States music during the late 1800s and early 1900s?
I've been watching YouTube and reading Wiki all morning to find out. Perhaps you know a genre, style, or have additions from your family history you'd like to add. No holds barred.

It went from five hundred year old traditions to modern dance musics. If you know do tell. Sadly, of all the continents none had as much to do with the advancement of today's music than the people of Africa. For this I am truly grateful and sorrowful simultaneously. Anyhow... since I couldn't decide what followed jazz I went with this Have fun I admittedly know very little about jazz, so this will be a learning experience for me.
I just wanted to bridge the "play a blues tune" thread to contemporary stuff. How better to do so than to add syncopation and backbeat. Hmmm.. I guess backbeat is in blues too. I'm not real sure what syncopation is. I'm guessing it is out of the ordinary stressing/not stressing of beats. That makes jazz the best candidate in my mind. Duke Ellington is the only jazz name I can think of ______________________________ Duke Ellington - Mood Indigo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GohBkHaHap8 Any SubGenre
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_blues... From Memphis to Chicago and all the way to the Delta... Good stuffs indeed. It is where much originated. Acoustic preferably.

Play a song about Earth, environment, habitat... etc. Well, you know I was gonna do it _________________________________ Edit: Forgot Artist/song title Neil Young - Be the Rain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-grY0V3RDc Save the planet for another day Attention shoppers. Buy with your conscience and save. Save the planet for another day Save Alaska! Let the caribou stay. Don't care what the governments say They're all bought and paid for anyway. Save the planet for another day Hey Big Oil! What do you say? We were runnin' through the night Never knowin' if we would see the light Paranoid schizophrenic visions Livin in fear of the wrong decisions We got to wake up We got to keep goin' If they follow us There's no way of knowin' We got a job to do We got to save Mother Earth Be the ocean when it meets the sky You can make a difference. If you really try. Be the magic in the Northern lights Six Days... Six nights. Be the river as it rolls along It has three-eyed fish. And it's smellin' strong. Be the rain you remember fallin' Be the rain. Be the rain. Yeah, rain was fallin' and we're soakin' wet Hail is beatin' down on our heads The wind is blowin' through our hair Faces frozen in the frigid air We got to get there Alaska We got to be there Before the big machines We got a job to do We got to save Mother Earth Dream the hunter on the western plain The birds are all gone. Where did they go? Dream the fisherman in his boat He's comin' home empty. He's barely afloat. Dream the logger in the great northwest They're runnin' out of trees. They got to give it a rest. Dream the farmer in the old heartland Corporate greed and chemicals are killin' the land. Next mornin' Sun was up at dawn She looked around and Earth was gone Dark visions he had last night He needed peace, he needed light. He heard the rumble and He saw the big machines The green army rose It was a bad dream He had a job to do He had to save Mother Earth Be the ocean when it meets the sky Greek freighters are dumping crap somewhere right now. Be the magic in the northern lights The ice is melting! Be the river as it rolls along Corporate greed! Toxic waste! Be the river you remember flowin Be the rain. Be the rain. Be the rain you remember fallin' Be the rain. Be the rain. Save the Planet for another day Be the rain. Be the rain. ______________________ Any Genre
