Bert Jansch should be a household name. One of the best "folk" guitarists out there.
I've never linked youtube videos here before so hopefully these work.

That map is wrong. Indian Territory was considered the South until the Yankees occupied it early in the war.
I'm pretty sure that uniform my great, great grandfather wore when he joined as an Indian Scout was grey.
More importantly, stop talking about food...first Bek posts pictures of her dinner on the vegetable thread and now changling is talking about crawfish. I'm starved and dinner isn't ready yet.
can y'all make some suggestions for veggie prep?
i have fresh broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, onions, leeks, zucchini, spinach, tomatoes.
don't say soup, because it's 90 degrees here today.
This is what I ended up with tonight, it doesn't look as good as it was.
It looks delicious to me. /drool
Unfortunately it also reminded me that I forgot to eat today. Now I feel starved. Refrigerator here I come.

Here's Bryan Mclean's younger sister
Good save Avashi, I couldn't remember her name...and I thought it was his daughter.

I think Bryan became a Born Again preacher, or a missionary or something, soon after 'Forever Changes' was released.
Yes, it was Arthur of course. Bryan's "conversion" explains the personnel change in the band after Forever Changes. The first two albums (with Bryan) were the best in my opinion, the earlier concerts were better as well if I remember correctly.
Greg Brown
For some reason Greg Brown always reminds me of City Folk, who are no longer together. Their "I am a patriot" is worth a listen just for the lyrics, even if one dosen't care for folk music.

Having mentioned folk music, I have to mention Kate Wolf. Another of those little known greats.

Jimmy Cliff anyone?
It's odd to watch those scenes of Jamaica, it really has changed very little since then. Jimmy Cliff is as timeless as his country, his singing/songwriting is as good as ever.
Dave Mason
Dave Masons additon to "Traffic" was magical. "Cryin' To Be Heard" was one of their all time best songs.
No one has mentioned Paul Brady, a great Irish singer/songwriter. His "the island" is one of the all time best.
results of a recent research shows that there are 7 kinds of sex:.

someone and you both have sex until you are.
For some reason I now have an urge to paint my kitchen blue.

I'll toss out an obvious one, Mick Taylor. Started with John Mayall, then joined the
Rolling Stones. His guitar licks from those years are as plaglarized as the quotes of christ.

Hill, you just earned points. Not that it matters of course.
I've been on a Fred Neil crusade ever since...I first heard him? My little brother who recently visited, engaged with my older brother in the Ipod wars. Hours later after great music I aced them, I played "Dolphins". They both hurrumphed, (I wasn't in the competition, but Fred can't be repressed!)
That Ipod war was fun, but Fred Neil lives on, up there on Mount Olympus. We mortals pale in his shadow.
Richard Tompson is great of course...but "Beeswing" never fails to rip my heart from my chest and make me wonder....
so jehovah's witnesses came to our door, this is about the fifth time, i always miss them, but they talk to my wife, this time i was home due to the holiday season, the man was an elder, he came with a newbie, thought he would show her "how's its done"), the young women sat there with mouth wide open, as she watched me beat up her elder with his own bible.
well after discussing the scriptures for about 2 hours, (subjects included: salvation, ransom, permission of evil, god's organization), she looked at me and said "amazing, i've never heard it explained quite that way before.".
the elder asked me what religious affiliations i had, i told him, "i am with the associated bible students.
Your story had me chuckling RR until I read this.
Man, that is pretty rude of that elder
That was pretty darn rude of him. He comes to your door takes 2 hours of your time and then calls you names. Amazing.
