3.Madrugada
(Die Band uit die Land van die Middernagson)
Madrugada se kitaarspeler en een van die stigterslede Robert Burås is in Julie 2007 in sy hotelkamer dood aangetref.
Die oorblywende lede het daarna besluit om die album waarmee hul besig was,
te voltooi en op te dra aan Robert.
Hierna het hul op 'n wêreld toer gegaan en hul finale vertoning in November 2008 gegee, waarna hul die groep ontbind het.
Robert Burås was ook lid van My Midnight Creeps.
'n Band wie sê hul kry hul inspirasie uit Stones en Animal's se musiek. Don´t let em bring you down
Tydens 'n musiekfees in Oslo na Robert Burås se afsterwe het sy ou orkeslede uit beide Madrugada en My Midnight Creeps vir hom hierdie aangrypende tribute gelewer. Tribute to Robert Burås
'n Onlangse debat oor Afrikaners wat nie lewende helde het nie en toe 'n uitnodiging deur die skrywer om 'n lys van 10 lewende Afrikaner helde neer te pen, het my aan die dink gesit. Ek besef toe dat ek nie tien name kan neerskryf nie en vlug toe liewers in my musiekwêreld in. Alhoewel ek al die speletjie van "watter tien albums/songs vat jy na jou eiland saam" tot vervelens toe gespeel het, vra ek toe aan myself, "Wie is my musiekheld?" My musieksmaak is egter so wyd as die here se genade en dis 'n bykans onmoontlike/onregverdige vraag om jouself mee te pooitjie. Die oplossing van die probleemvraag het ek toe gekry deur te gaan kyk na watter kunstenaar het die meeste albums/musiek in my versameling. Ek het sovêr my kennis strek , asook die van ander cohenphiles op die web, 'n volledige Leonard Cohen versameling. Leonard het meer byname as enige ander kunstenaar, Master Of Erotic Despair, Ladies’ Man, Prins van Pyn, Profeet, Pelgrim, Pessimis ens. ens. Vir my is hy die Meester van Melancholie.
In die vroë sestigers het Leonard gesukkel om 'n lewe te maak uit sy gedigte en skryfwerk en begin om liedere te skryf. Hy kon egter nie kitaar speel of sing nie en nader toe via 'n gemeenskaplike vriend vir Judy Collins en vra haar toe wat dink sy van "Suzanne" Haar antwoord was: 'I'm recording it tomorrow". Judy het vir Leonard onder haar vlerk geneem en ook hotelkamer toe.
Suzanne was dan sy eerste lied wat opgeneem was. JUDY COLLINS & LEONARD COHEN - "Suzanne" 1976
JUDY COLLINS & LEONARD COHEN - "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye" 1976
"Sang it all night"? Cohen, you sly dog!
Judy Collins is net so 'n merkwaardige ou dame.
Judy Collins, now 71, is still writing, performing, and nurturing fresh talent. She plays 80 to100 dates a year around the country. Judy Collins, a relentlessly creative spirit, is a modern day Renaissance woman who is also an accomplished painter, filmmaker, record label head, musical mentor, and an in-demand keynote speaker for mental health and suicide prevention. She continues to create music of hope and healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart. Hier is haar webwerf.
Hier gesels sy lekker oor hul kennismaking en heel beskeie oor haar rol om Leonard te laat begin sing het:
Leonard het verlede maand 76 jaar jonk geword en "Heck Of A Guy" het hierdie mooi tribute video gemaak:
Leonard Cohen's 76th Birthday - The Video
Vroër vanjaar is Leonard Cohen ingehuldig by die Songwriters Hall Of Fame.
Weereens was Judy Collins by.
Tydens die seremonie is hierdie opname gemaak:
LEONARD COHEN GIVES MOVING HALLELUJAH FOR SONGWRITERS HALL OF FAME
Menige opinies van Cohen is dat hy donker en swartgallige musiek maak.
Longfellow antwoord hul so:
God sent his Singers upon earth
With songs of sadness and of mirth, That they might touch the hearts of men, And bring them back to heaven again. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Finale woord.
Tydens bogenoemde funksie het Lou Reed die bedankings gedoen en so afgesluit: “We’re so lucky to be alive at the same time Leonard Cohen is”
Midlake, 'n Jethro Tull geinspireerde groep, het sy ontstaan in 1999 in 'n Texas universiteit gehad. In 2006 het hulle my gemesmeraais met hul juweel "The Trials of Van Occupanther" wat die pragtige "Roscoe" opgelewer het. Hulle het egter sopas hul nuutste album "The Courage of Others "uitgebring.
'n Paar snitte hierop kan op hul webwerf http://midlake.net/ na geluister word. Die album is 'n eerbetoon aan die 1966 Russiese film "Andrei Rublev" deur Andrei Tarkovsky.
Luister en kyk bietjie na hierdie twee voorbeelde:
Midlake - Rulers, ruling all things
Midlake - Acts of Man
Toe SA Musiek die "Albums van die Dekade" lys op 13 Januarie 2010 uitgereik het, was "The Trials of Van Occupanther" op album no. 52. "The Courage of Others " sal gewis in die top tien van die volgende dekade eindig!
Lili Marleen
Vor der Kaserne
Vor dem großen Tor
Stand eine Laterne
Und steht sie noch davor
So woll'n wir uns da wieder seh'n
Bei der Laterne wollen wir steh'n
Wie einst Lili Marlene.
Wie einst Lili Marlene.
Unsere beide Schatten
Sah'n wie einer aus
Daß wir so lieb uns hatten
Das sah man gleich daraus
Und alle Leute soll'n es seh'n
Wenn wir bei der Laterne steh'n
Wie einst Lili Marlene.
Wie einst Lili Marlene.
Deine Schritte kennt sie,
Deinen schönen Gang
Alle Abend brennt sie,
Doch mich vergaß sie lang
Und sollte mir ein Leids gescheh'n
Wer wird bei der Laterne stehen
Mit dir Lili Marlene?
Mit dir Lili Marlene?
Aus dem stillen Raume,
Aus der Erde Grund
Hebt mich wie im Traume
Dein verliebter Mund
Wenn sich die späten Nebel drehn
Werd' ich bei der Laterne steh'n
Mit dir Lili Marlene.
Mit dir Lili Marlene.
Lili Marlene
In front of the barracks,
In front of the main gate,
Stood a lamppost,
It still stands out front,
We want to see each other there again,
We want to stand by the lamppost,
As before, Lili Marleen,
As before, Lili Marleen.
Our two shadows
Looked like one,
That we held each other so fondly
Someone would think we were one.
And everybody will see it
If we stand by the lamppost,
As before, Lili Marleen,
As before, Lili Marleen.
Already the guard was crying,
“They’re blowing taps.
That could cost you three days.”
“Comrade, I’m coming right away.”
There we said farewell,
But I would rather have gone with you,
With you, Lili Marleen,
With you, Lili Marleen.
She knows your footsteps,
Your special stride.
Every evening she is burning,
Though she forgot me long ago.
And if a mishap should befall me,
Who would stand by the lamppost,
With you, Lili Marleen,
With you, Lili Marleen?
From out of silent space,
From out the lands of Earth,
Your beloved lips uplift me
As if in a dream.
When the nocturnal mists swirl,
I will be standing by the lamppost,
As before, Lili Marleen,
As before, Lili Marleen.
Blind Willie was een van my eerste posts op my blog en het sederdien soos sokkies in die was verdwyn?
Die laaste paar dae, sedert die Willie Joe Duncan post het 'n paar mense navraag gedoen oor Blind Willie.
Ek het hom nou maar gaan soek en afgestof.
My vriend Paul stuur op 'n keer vir my 'n skakel na die volgende webwerf 78rpm records and cylinder recordings Archive Een aand laat ontdek ek toe hier 'n song Statesboro Blues wat meer as 27,000 keer al afgelaai was. My aand is toe daarmee heen, want tot in die vroë oggendure het Blind Willie my met sy verhaal en musiek gefassineer.
Blind Willie was gebore in Thomson, Georgia en het naby Statesboro grootgeword. Blindgebore, alhoewel hy in sy kinderdae effens uit een oog kon sien, het hy vroeg begin mondfluitjie speel en later kitaar.
Sy ouers het albei kitaar gespeel en sy oom was die legendariese Tom Dorsey. In sy tienerjare het Willie oorgeskakel na 'n 12 snaar kitaar. Willie se 12 snaar tegniek was egter uniek en anders as die ander bluesman het Willie die resonansies van 'n 12 snaar geignoreer en met sy elegante, unieke druk en fingerwerk tegniek, die 12 snaar laat klink soos twee kitare wat speel. Willie het by verskillende blinde skole in Georgia skool gegaan, later in New York en Michigan en was 'n bedrewe braile leser.
Mooi voorbeelde van sy musiek kan hier na geluister en bekom word.
Bruce Eder- skryf soos volg oor Willie
Blind Willie McTell was one of the giants of the blues, as a guitarist and as a singer and recording artist. Hardly any of his work as passed down to us on record is less than first rate, and this makes most any collection of his music worthwhile. A studious and highly skilled musician whose skills transcended the blues, he was equally adept at ragtime, spirituals, story-songs, hillbilly numbers, and popular tunes, excelling in all of these genres. He could read and write music in braille, which gave him an edge on many of his sighted contemporaries, and was also a brilliant improvisor on the guitar, as is evident from his records. Willie always gave an excellent account of himself, even in his final years of performing and recording.
Searching The Desert For The Blues
You may search the ocean, you might go 'cross the deep blue sea
But Mama, you'll never find another hot shot like me
I followed my baby from the station to the train
And the blues came down like night and showered me
I left her at the station wringing her hands and crying
I told her she had a home, just as long as I had mine
I've got two women, and you can't tell them apart
I've got one in my bossom, and one I got in my heart
The one in my bossom, she's in Tennessee
And the one in my heart, don't even give a darn for me
I used to say a married woman was the sweetest thing that ever been born
But I've changed that thing, you better leave married women alone
Take my advice: let these married women be
'Cause their husbands'll grab you, beat you ragged as a cedar tree
When a woman say she love you 'bout good as she do herself,
I don't pay her no attention, tell that same line to somebody else
I really don't believe no woman in the whole round world do right,
act like an angel in the daytime, mess by the ditch at night
I'm going, pretty mama, please don't break this rule;
that's why I'm searching these deserts for the blues
I'm going, pretty mama, searching these deserts now
That's why I'm walking my baby home anyhow
Lord, oh Lord
Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Oh Lordy Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
When a woman say she love you 'bout good as she do herself,
I don't pay her no attention, tell that same line to somebody else
Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
McTell worked under a variety of names, and with a multitude of partners, including his one time wife Ruthy Kate Williams (who recorded with him under the name Ruby Glaze), and also Buddy Moss and Curley Weaver. McTell cut some of his best songs more than once in his career. Like many bluesmen, he recorded under different names simultaneously, and was even signed to Columbia and Okeh Records, two companies that ended up merged at the end of the 1930s, at the same time under two names. His recording career never gave Willie quite as much success as he had hoped, partly due to the fact that some of his best work appeared during the depths of the Depression. He was uniquely popular in Atlanta, where he continued to live and work throughout most of his career, and, in fact, was the only blues guitarist of any note from the city to remain active in the city until well after World War II.
Willie was well known enough that Library of Congress archivist John Lomax felt compelled to record him in 1940, although during the war, like many other acoustic country bluesmen, his recording career came to a halt. Luckily for Willie and generations of listeners after him, however, there was a brief revival of interest in acoustic country blues after World War II that brought him back into the studio. Amazingly enough, the newly founded Atlantic Records — which was more noted for its recordings of jazz and R&B — took an interest in Willie and cut 15 songs with him in Atlanta during 1949. The one single released from these sessions, however, didn't sell, and most of those recordings remained unheard for more than 20 years after they were made. A year later, however, he was back in the studio, this time with his longtime partner Curley Weaver, cutting songs for the Regal label. None of these records sold especially well, however, and while Willie kept playing to anyone who would listen, the bitter realities of life had finally overtaken him, and he began drinking on a regular basis. He was rediscovered in 1956, just in time to get one more historic session down on tape.
It's your time to worry
In 1956 het 'n Atlanta platewinkel bestuurder , Edward Rhodes, ontdek McTell speel op die straathoek vir pennies en hy lok hom toe in sy winkel in met 'n bottel whiskey Hier neem hy toe Willie se finale optrede op met 'n weggesteekte bandopnemer . Dit was na Willie se dood vrygestel op die Prestige/Bluesville Records Label as Blind Willie McTell se laaste sessie. Bob Dylan het 'n pragtige lied Blind Willie Mctell oor Blind Willie geskryf en dit word mooi hier opgevoer deur The Highlights, 'n Bob Dylan Tribute Band.
Rockmusiek waarmee ek groot geword het sy oorsprong in die Blues van die 50's.
Onlangs loop ek by 'n pandjieswinkel in Oudshoorn in en loop ure later uit met omtrent 24 stokou vinals. Onder andere Big Boss Man van Jimmy Reed. In my oplees van Jimmy kom ek af op 'n "collaboration" tussen Jimmy Reed en Willie Joe Duncan. Willie was eksentriek en in die jare voor Chet Atkins die Gretsc help populêr maak het, het Willie vir homself 'n eensnaar unitar gebou en "ge-electrify".
Hiermee het hy in Chicago in Maxwell Street saam met Jimmy Reed begin speel.
Jimmy beskryf hom in 'n (Living Blues #1, June 1975) onderhoud so:
"...he was doin this old crazy thing, with this one strand of wire, he wasn't lettin' me lose him nowhere; now, how he was catchin' me on that one strand of broom wire I don't know! But he was doing it all right. He could play that string of wire with a bottle, if he didn't do it with his finger he'd do it with a little old piece of leather on his finger or something he'd pick it with. But on that one strand of wire on that board he could find whatever I was playin' on that guitar. Now that was somethin' I sure hated to lose. Yeah, I hated to lose Jody because it just was a crazy old thing".
Cherokee Dance is een van die mooiste stukkies blues in my versameling.
Sam Wilson is nog 'n man wat in daai jare sy dollar met 'n unitar verdien het.
'n Wyle terug het ek 'n post geplaas oor Tom Waits se Poor Edward uit die Alice album.
Een van die ander snitte op Alice was Table Top Joe soos van die amptelike 2002 album.
Daar was ook 'n 1992 bootleg opname, Alice Demos, hierop klinkTable Top Joe so!
Die snit se woorde gaan so:
"Well my mama didn't want me
on the day i was born
i was born without a body
i got nothing but scorn
but i always loved music
all i had was my hands
i'd dreamed i'd be famous
and I'd work at the sands"
en verder...
"I had trouble with the pedals
but i had a strong left hand
and i could play stravinsky
on a baby grand"
en verder....
"and the man without a body
proved everyone wrong
i was rich and i was famous
i was where i belonged, yeah"
Hierdie is die 2002 weergawe:
Ek het nou al jare lank prentjies en beelde in my verbeelding gemaak van hoe die skepsel van Tom Waits, wie se ma hom nie wou hê, wat sirkus toe was en klavier begin speel het, maar nie by die voetpedale kon bykom nie, nou eintlik moes lyk. Nou het ek met 'n ompad by my eintlike onderwep uitgekom : Michel Petrucciani .
Ek is oortuig êrens moes die twee kunstenaars se paaie gekruis het vir Tom om dié lied te kon skryf. Michel Petrucciani was 'n frans/italiaanse pianis wat in 1962 in Orange, Frankryk uit 'n musikale familie gebore was. Michel was gebore met osteogenesis imperfecta, 'n genetiese siekte wat bros beenstruktuur teweeg bring en in baie gevalle ook 'n kort postuur. In die beginjare van sy loopbaan het sy pa en broer hom ingedra na sy vertonings en later ook sy bestuurder. Om geld te spaar het dié baie aande hom hotelkamer toe gesmokkel binne in 'n tas.
'n Pragtige dokumentêr van Michel Petrucciani kan hier gekyk word.
Op 20 jarige ouderdom het hy na die VSA verhuis. Hier het hy die legendariese Charles Loyd gaan soek en opgespoor. Charles, 'n veteraan saxophone speler wat op sy tyd in groepe van B. B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Bobby "Blue" Bland,The Doors en jare saam met die Beach Boys getoer en opgetree het, was afgetree en het 'n kluisenaars bestaan gevoer. Hulle het begin saam speel en op 22Februarie, 1985 toe dra Charles vir Petrucciani in sy arms op die verhoog van die New York se Stadsaal, sit hom op die klavierstoel neer en die res is geskiedenis. Die aand word die bekroonde "One Night with Blue Note" verfilm.
Michel Petrucciani "born without a body" met 'n 'strong left hand' hy het verseker 'proofed everyone wrong' . Michel is op 6 Januarie, 1999 oorlede en is in die Père Lachaise begrafplaas naas Chopin begrawe.
Hierdie Groen Ghoen van ons het vele versteekte musiekjuwele.
Bill Fay is 'n Engelse sanger, skrywer en pianis. In 1976 bring hy 'n Solus Sewe plaat uit "Some Good Advice"/"Screams in my Ears"
Hierdie plaatjie is tans op Ebay te koop en die bidding trek al by $1050 !
Uncut beskryf hom as die missing link tussen Bob Dylan, Ray Davies en Nick Drake. Wilco het al een van sy komposisies "Be Not So Fearful" opgeneem. Die 1970 album net getiteld John Fay is 'n meesterstuk.
Iemand het destyds lelik opgeslip met die album se bemarking.
Kan iemand verduidelik hoekom hierdie song nooit 'n hit was nie ?
“Screams In The Ears”
Offer your sherry to somebody else
I’ve got nothing to say
‘Cept my wife’s in the bedroom with everyone else
But I don’t want to play
Will you stop asking me who I am?
Go and find someone else
To tell your jokes to
What a great party this is
Woodstock 40 jaar gelede en 80,000,000 miljoen plateverkope later met sangers soos Cher, Dolly Parton, Macy Gray, Ray Charles, New Seekers, Vicky Leandros, Alison Mojet, Will Olham, Nina Simone ensovoorts wat jou liedjies opneem . Die eerste Pop/Rock kunstenaar wat in Carnegie Hall, die Metropolitan Opera House, die Sydney Opera House, en in die Verenigde Nasie se Algemene Vergadering staande ovasies ontvang het. Unicef se verteenwoordiger, tuisteskepper en ma, Emmy wenner, restaurant entrepeneur en musiekblyspel skrywer wat sedert Woodstock bykans elke jaar tot 2007 'n album die lig laat sien het....soos Keth Moon haar op die verhoog tydens die Isle of Wright Festifval in 1970 voorgestel het......dames en here.....the penultimate flower-child....Melanie Safka !
Jare later tydens die 20e verjaarsdagviering van Woodstock het Jimi Hendrix se pa vir haar weer onder groot toejuiging op die verhoog verwelkom.
Minder as 'n handvol vroulike sangers was op Woodstock, en van hulle het twee liedjies oor die konsert neergepen. Joni Mitchell het te laat vir haar eie Woodstock optrede opgedaag nadat sy ure lank in die verkeersknoop vasgesit het, het die lied "Woodstck"geskryf.
Melanie se optrede by die fees het in gietende reën begin en toe dit opklaar het die masiewe skare haar toegejuig en kerse aangesteek. Hieroor het sy toe Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) geskryf.
Candles in the Rain was'n passievolle intense opname wat na aan die rigeleuse grens asof Melanie tydens die konsert 'n geestelike belewing ondergaan het en uit hierdie ervaring juis die inspirasie vir die lied put. Die solo sewe het op die rugkant dieselfde lied, maar voorgedra deur Melanie.
In die video hierbo het sy die twee kante saamgebruik.
Little sisters of the sun
Lit candles in the rain
Fed the world on oats and raisins
Candles in the rain
To be there was to remember
So lay it down again
Men can live as brothers
Candles in the rain
Seker Melanie se bekenste treffer!
Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, Marianne Faithfull en Melanie Safka word vandag erken as dié vroulike rock ikone.
Melanie Safka is steeds aktief, reis die wêreld vol , kom pas van 'n Europese toer terug, is besig met 'n Hippie Festival en tree maandeinde weer in Holland op. Melanie het drie kinders, almal musikante, en haar seun Beau-Jarred is 'n kitaarspeler en tree saam met haar op. Met uitsondering van een, het haar man Peter Schekeryk, al haar plate geproduce.
Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown*
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each others wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Chorus
So raise the candles high cause if you
Don't we could stay black against the night
Oh raise them higher again and if you
Do we could stay dry against the rain
Chrous
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high
Cause if you don't we could stay
Black against the sky
Oh oh raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Chorus
Om vergelyk te word met Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen en Bob Dylan sit nie in enige musiekant se broek nie.
Bryan G Phillips alias Grant-Lee Phillips is van Amerikaanse Indiaan afkoms en gerigistreer by die Muskogee stam.
Phillips is egter 'n multi instrument meester wat sy twaalf snaar vaardighede, intense lirieke en stemskakerings inspan om vir ons musiekdis na musiekdis voor te lê.
Grant-Lee Phillips was eers stigterslid van Grant Lee Buffalo wie gereeld saam met groepe soos REM, Cranberries,Pearl Jam en The Smashing Pumpkins in die VSA en Australië getoer het.
Grant-Lee Phillips het eers in die laat 80ers die groep Shiva Burlesque begin en twee albums uitgebring. Die was nie suksesvol nie maar in 1991 het meeste van die groeplede weer bymekaargekom om Grant lee Buffalo te begin. Hul debuut langspeler "Fuzzy" was deur REM se Michael Stipe as die beste album van 1992 beskryf.
FUZZY
In 1995 word Phillips deur Rolling Stone aangewys as beste Manlike Sanger. Truly Truly is 'n goeie voorbeeld van die sanger se stemvermoëns. In 1999 het Phillips egter die groep opgebreek en sy solo loopbaan begin.
Verskeie albums het gevolg met Little Moon in 2009.
Hierdie is 'n ongelooflike album met snitte soos
"Ons was in die eerste plek nie eens regtig van plan om 'n band te wees nie. " So sê Tobias Nathaniel, pianis en die een helfte van die brein en die hart van The Black Heart Procession.
Ons wou net 'n breek vat en iets anders doen as ThreeMilePilot. Ghettoblaster beskryf hul musiek as die soort musiek wat jy vir jou ex in haar woonstel los as klankbaan van jou selfmoord!
Dis egter baie meer as nog 'n tiener angs-album, dis eensaam, hartseer, donker maar fantasties. Hul eerste opnames het net uit Pall Jenkins en Tobias Nathaniel bestaan. Na twaalf jaar en tien albums het hulle met hul laaste album "Six" weer teruggekeer na hul "wortels".
Waar hulle gebruik gemaak het van 'n groot aantal kunstenaars op hul laaste albums, is Six weer net hul twee bymekaar.
Poor Edward is 'n ware verhaal van 'n man Edward Mordake wat in die laat 18e eeu in Engeland met twee gesigte gebore was.Hy het 'n vrou se gesig (sy sussie?) agter op sy kop gehad. Die gesig kon nie eet of praat nie maar soos die lied gaan, kon die lag en huil. Edward was 'n erfgenaam in een van die rykste families in die Britse adelstand. Hy was glo besonder skrander, aantreklik en 'n akademikus.
Hy het egter aan slaaploosheid gely omdat die tweeling gesig in die nag vir hom gefluister het.
Geen dokter was in daardie tyd bereid om die gesig te verwyder nie. Edward het toe op 23 jarige ouderdom homself opgehang.
Tom het hierdie lied geskryf en opgeneem in sy 2002 opera- Alice.
Did you hear the news about Edward?
On the back of his head he had another face
Was it a woman's face or a young girl?
They said to remove it would kill him
So poor Edward was doomed
The face could laugh and cry
It was his devil twin
And at night she spoke to him
Things heard only in hell
But they were impossible to separate
Chained together for life
Finally the bell tolled his doom
He took a suite of rooms
And hung himself and her from the balcony irons
Some still believe he was freed from her
But I knew her too wellI say she drove him to suicide
"I don't have a drinking problem ‘cept when I can't get a drink"
My kids are starting to notice I'm a little different from the other dads. "Why don't you have a straight job like everyone else?" they asked me the other day. I told them this story: In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, "Look at me...I'm tall, and I'm straight, and I'm handsome. Look at you...you're all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you." And they grew up in that forest together. And then one day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, "Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest." So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day.
Sit vanaand so voor die rekenaar en luister na Johnnie Cash se laaste album .
Hy sing hierop 'n pragtige song van Sheryl Crow - Redemption Bay.
Op soek na Crow se oorspronklike weergawe, kry ek 'n pragtige Youtube weergawe waar sy saam met Stevie Nicks sing... beautifull.
Op dieselfde Youtube bladsy is daar ook die ou song :
Stevie Nicks - Landslide "But time makes it bolder; children get older
I'm getting older too...."
"n Enorme song met 2,069,070 views, 2,069,074 toe ek klaar is!
Lindsey Buckingham op kitaar (sonder pick!) maak die song.
Na al die jare is daar nog steeds iets spesiaal tussen hulle...
kyk hoe sit sy haar hand op sy skouer tydens Lindsey se kitaarsolo .
Die lied gaan oor 'n Pa - Dogter verhouding.
~Stevie Nicks - Landslide was written the night beforemy dad was operated on at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota in 1974.
I realized then that everything could tumble, and when you're in Colorado, and you're surrounded by these incredible mountains, you think avalanche. It meant the whole world could tumble around us and the landslide would bring you down. And a landslide in the snow is like, deadly. And when you're in that kind of a snow-covered, surrounding place, you don't just go out and yell, because the whole mountain could come down on you.
I took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
And the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky--what is love?
Can the child in my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin'...ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
I don't know.....I don't know...
Well I've been afraid of changin'
Because I've built my life around you
But time makes it bolder; children get older
I'm getting older too....
So, take this love...take it down.
Oh, if you climb a mountain and you turn around
and you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills...
well, the landslide will bring you down;
The landslide will bring you down...
Willard Grant Conspiracy is 'n Amerikaanse groep met net Robert Fisher as permanente lid. Meer as dertig ander lede vanoor ons aardbol was al deel gewees van hul opnamesessies. Robert het gesê: "As iemand sê dat hulle speel saam met ons, dan het hy waarskynlik nie!" Robert was aanvanklik geïnspireer deur die Howe Gelb van Giant Sand. Sy Americana styl en stem word met dié van John Cale en Johnny Cash vergelyk
In 2000 het Robert terug verhuis na die huis van sy jeug, in die Palmdale / Lancaster gebied van die suidelike CA, waar beide Frank Zappa en Captain Beefheart grootgeword het. Die kunstenaar beskryf dit as "... 'n landbou-oase in die middel van die woestyn - turksvye plase saam sit met, die lug, landelike en hoë-tegnologie, mense in die sleepwaens in die middel van nêrens.
Daar is ruimte hier en dit laat jou toe om 'n klomp dinge te doen".

Heerlike gatskop soulsearching musiek.
En ja, eendag as ek groot is wil ek ook so 'n baard hê!

Mr. E se pa was 'n fisikus wat die bekende Quantum teorie van paralêlle wêrelde in 1957 voorspel het.
In 2008 was hy deel van die volgende dokumentêr :
The rock star and the quantum mechanic By Andrew Thompson
The quest has helped Mark understand his father better
This December sees the release of the feature film The Golden Compass based on Philip Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy. What many of the cinema-goers will not know is that Pullman's clever use of parallel universes relies heavily on the work of an American quantum physicist, Hugh Everett III.
In 1957, this young and brilliant physicist published a paper which used some heavy duty mathematics to predict the existence of parallel universes.
Although the concept of parallel universes seeped into popular culture, it was considered too way-out for mainstream physicists; and for many years, it remained in the scientific wilderness.
Now, 50 years on, Hugh Everett's son has travelled across America for a BBC Four documentary to find out more about his father's theory, and why it has now been accepted by many physicists as the work of a scientific genius.
He is the first to admit that he can barely add up a restaurant tip and knows virtually nothing about quantum physics
Mark Oliver Everett's own career path couldn't have been more different from that of his father.
Mark Everett is the creative force behind the successful American cult rock band Eels. He is the first to admit that he can barely add up a restaurant tip and knows virtually nothing about quantum physics.
The splitting universe
But the main reason Mark decided to participate in the documentary was that he has always felt estranged from his father, and this would be an opportunity to understand his father better.
Along the way, Mark meets many of his father's old colleagues and also younger physicists who have been inspired by Hugh Everett's work.
The subject matter of parallel universes is hard to grasp
Mark receives a crash course in the history of quantum mechanics and also why Hugh's theory was so revolutionary. In his key paper, Hugh Everett argued that at the quantum level the universe is constantly splitting; and every time it splits a new universe is born.
It sounds bizarre to the layman but for Professor Max Tegmark, physicist at MIT, it makes good sense. In the BBC documentary he enthuses to Mark Everett: "In my personal opinion, your dad's theory is one of the most important discoveries of all time in science; and I can't emphasise that enough - how important I think it is.
"And I would put it right up there with Einstein's relativity theory, Newton's theory of gravity. And I think 50 years from now, he is going to be even more famous than he is now, when more experiments have been confirmed that this seems to be the way that the world works."
But just as importantly, Mark begins to understand why he was so estranged from his father. And it is all to do with scientific egos.
Voice from the past
Essentially, Hugh attempted to upstage the godfather of quantum physics, Niels Bohr. Bohr was the author of the established theory of the time (known as the Copenhagen Interpretation) and refused to accept the work of Hugh Everett.
This was a devastating blow to Hugh Everett who left academia at the time and was always upset by the fact that his scientific theory was not taken more seriously until shortly before his early death in 1982.
Mark helped the BBC search through his father's archives
One of the highlights of the documentary is the discovery of some audio tapes by Mark Everett. They are the only known voice recording of his father (there is no known film footage) and Hugh Everett talks about how he first came up with his theory as a young student at Princeton.
The tapes were believed lost so they are an important finding for the history of science. For Mark it was also the personal opportunity to hear his father's voice after a 25-year void.
Hugh Everett III died of a heart attack in his home in 1982. It was Mark who found the body.
"My father never, ever said anything to me about his theories. I was in the same house with him for at least 18 years but he was a total stranger to me.
"He was in his own parallel universe. He was a physical presence, like the furniture, sitting there jotting down crazy notations at the dining room table night after night. I think he was deeply disappointed that he knew he was a genius but the rest of the world didn't know it."
By participating in the documentary, Mark has finally made peace with his father.
Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives is broadcast on BBC Four on Monday, 26 November, 2007, at 2100 GMT
One by one the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few
And those who dance begin to dance
And those who weep begin
Welcome, welcome, cries a voice
Let all my guests come in
