  i know some of you, especially those of you who were born before the 1970s, will remember the movie deliverance.. this is not about that, but in i have to say, for some reason, i have always been intrigued if not almost in-love with the instrument: the banjo.. one of the worlds most renowned banjo players was originally from northeastern new brunswick, canada: mr. maurice bolyer, from the le republic de madawaska (across the river from aroostook county, maine, usa).. that man, when i heard some of his recordings, i swear he could pop the cap off of a beer bottle, or any bottle for that matter.. i have considered learning how to play the banjo.. i know it has roots in western africa, which to me, makes it all that much more worthwhile to give'r a go.. dunno, but you have to marvel at the intense pickin' that goes on when you hear the banjo.

  in the north american picture, the banjo really carried on well into the fabric of 'roots' music here (canada/usa).

  merci monsieur bolyer, and so many other amazing north american banjo players.

  He can speak English, but because of the nature of the band, which plays Mexican based tunes etc., Max spoke in Espanol, which he is fluent in.

  Yeah, I figured that out but, I was joking. I had a blast on New Years and the band was great! I really liked their music.

  Ray, could you be any cuter? A beard? LOL!

  I'm listening to the Dropkick Murphys right now. I'm sure you would approve. "The Spicy Machaggis Jig" is a great song! Ask Walter, he thinks it's funny.

  Seriously, I think you've made a great impact here. You've made an impact on me and I love you lots big brother.

  I love those guys that played.

  They were awesome! Why didn't that guy speak any English? LOL!

  I'll never stop with the Sleeman Ales. They're smooooooooth!

  Best night to check out that stuff: every Sunday night at the Cameron House 10 p.m. onward.

  Cool! I'll remember that. Fuzzy headed though I may be.

  Infant Circumcision

  by RAYZORBLADE in

  i figured that this topic must come up from time to time; especially moreso over here in north america.. as some of you are well aware, i posted a lovely thread about the upcoming birth about my nephew.. i'm thrilled about him, i simply just can't wait.. anyways, having been born here in north america, specifically: canada.

  circumcision was common, if not all the rage in the 1950s, and 1960s and probably up until the 1970s.

  with national health care, you can bet that the medical profession saw many dollars with regards to foreskins (sorry for graphic remarks).

  Hi Rev! Glad to see you here.

  I had my son circumcised. I was young, 22, and didn't even think there was an alternative. He's fine, happy, and healthy. I wish that I had known that it wasn't the only option. At least I did it when he was too young to remember the pain. The doctor, a male, gave me the most awful glare when I said that, of course, I wanted my son snipped.

  Xan, that's a very interesting article. I wish I had seen the movie. I've read about female circumcision. Eek! Barbaric!

  Hey Ray, didn't that band that played on New Years have a banjo player? Or was it an accordian? Both? Damn, I'm getting fuzzy headed the older I get!

  every child and bible student was told about how wonderful the "new system" was going to be.

  "and what animal do you want to have in the new system?

  "......that was a very typical question.

  I planned on eating lots of fruit and giving birth to all of the aborted fetuses. I actually prayed to that effect as a child. "Dear Jehovah, if I am a good girl and get to live in Paradise, I will happily give birth to all of the aborted babies...Amen".

  PS I just like fruit.

  And so, I hate myself

  I love you Jo.

  I can understand how you feel. I was 'there' a few years ago myself. You'll get over it because you're an amazing person and you have far too much potential as a person. I appreciate you and your input.

  Thanks I was thinking more about how I relate to what it was like being a woman raised in the borg, though

  Look, damn you, I'm going to run out of posts, yet again, trying to argue with you. You're far too nice for me to keep arguing with you. Damn!
