God bless the Doleful Lions. When I listened to this track I got quite misty-eyed, swept back to another era when Genesis and Aphrodite’s Child and The Strawbs and Yes and even Emerson Lake & Palmer (at a pinch) ruled my turntable.

Strawbs - Union man

Let’s just hope some of the great unions can see the need for changes in industry related to climate change. Gonna take some REAL compensation & retraining & innovative thinking. No Thatcher/Murdoch-like crushing the air out of Unions stategies. That’s old hat. And OFF.

I got misty-eyed also. Sounds like Simon and Garfunkel doing a gig at the funeral of Bob Santamaria.
Wonder if the ‘Parrot’ has booked ‘em.

For Billy Bunter & his mate King John
Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You’re nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying “Keep on digging.”
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you’re down in the pig mine.
You’re nearly a laugh,
You’re nearly a laugh
But you’re really a cry.

Brand new Tennessee Waltz - Jesse Winchester

LM, how about a bloody big Yorkshire pudding with mushrooms and parsnips, cauliflower & cheese & herbs and carrots with wine gravy sauce, washed down with a sangria, while listening to Jesse Winchester. And have a grin.

P.S. Thanks for the offer a couple days ago. Fellin’ mucho better.

Lyn will luv this.
That’s me for the night. The lovely lass S’ is on holidays & got me swoonin’ & swannin’ in love.

Nask, so your all alone?, Oh, I see :).That tucker sounds good.
And a big thank you for Jesse, I love that feller, I wrote to him (wrote) and asked him to please bring out some more music, and lo and behold some time later up pops ‘Gentleman of Leisure’, well, a lot later.(That’s true).
Also wrote to the pope and asked if he could bring Eva Cassidy ,Katie Wolf and Karen Dalton and Townes Van Zandt out for his gig but haven’t got a whisper. Maybe Karen was stretching things a bit, Townes may have been a bit of a worry leaving his pregnant lady to die(dead) whilst he headed south ,probably all the above haven’t been dead long enough to create a catholic myth, but I’ll bet they could spin it if their was a dollar in it.( I’m an ex catholic). That mob pissed me off when I was an altar boy,ain’t the altar boy an interesting part of their previous an current history, their just a bigger joke, and I’d like to know and will try and find out, why this mob are getting the first class ride , with a fuck the rest of you, into NSW. This smells, and usually if something smells, there’s a reason (might be that corpse) more likely something a little more than is being exposed.

George Carlin - Religion is bullshit

You’ll love this LM. George was full of truisms. He’ll be missed. By some of us.
Not the deeply religious obviously.

Oh god, I used to listen to ELP in my yoof and bought Pictures at an Exhibition. My only excuse is that sometimes one must pass through a young up-yourself nerdy tosser phase.
But “Locomotive Breath” is a genuinely rockin’ song, even though he did stand on one leg to play the flute (Tosser!
)
July 5th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Them’s fighting words Helen.
Ian Anderson can stand on his elbow for all it matters if they’re playing Locomotive Breath. Or just about anything else they did.

“young up-yourself nerdy tosser phase”

#12 and 13, old groupies,love it,remember when I was on a vendetta to biff Jagger for treating Ms.Faithful so poorly, Oh she was/is a spunk!!.(can decipher for you youngers).Still, I have all of Ms.Faithfull’s music up to her latest, excessive drugs,sex, booze, and nicotine gives a certain patina to one,sort of the call of the wild to the timid.That may be the reason I own no Rolling Stones music(Blues rip off bludgers) and feel a little less than impressed with their endless endless.( I have well over 3,000 things to put in the machine, no Elvis, Bing, RS,and not one C/W, ( I don’t mind Rammstein :))
I do think it so astute of Ken to place in our way snippets that he (claims) finds emotional, that arouses response.
So may I , especially for Ken,(help please from you nerds,the U tube or whatever thingo) present Harry Chapin ‘Six String Orchestra’ as an appreciation.

Ken, I was really into this stuff back in 76…particularly ‘A New World Record’ LP…followed by ‘Out of the Blue’…& Boston’s S/T LP…loved the spaceship, UFO imagery on the covers…musta been caught up in the UFO, Space: 1999, Close Encounters FEVER & such.

Just guessing, this weeks deep and meaningful from the master of deep and meaningful will be…..
“The Moody Blues”. That should put a spoke in it :).
Nask, some good stuff my friend, notice ‘deep and meaningful’ never thanks us for our dedications to him, ha.

I found this blog because I’m in a band that’s often compared to ELP and I am hoping to find listeners and fans. Honest! We do a cover of Blues Variation from Pictures at an Exhibition but really have our own style.
I do love the Moody Blues, Yes, King Crimson, old Genesis, PFM, Le Orme, Jethro Tull, Brian Auger, Niacin, Spock’s Beard, The Flower Kings and many other prog bands.
I hope you all will give us a listen at http://www.myspace.com/kineticelement.
