To all those opposing armies out there...

"Wooden Ships"

[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]

[Stills:] If you smile at me I will understand
'Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
[Crosby:] I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side
There's just one thing I would like to know
Can you tell me please who won your war?
[Stills:] Say can I have some of your purple berries?
[Crosby:] Yes, I've been eating them
For six or seven weeks now haven't got sick once
[Stills:] Probably keep us all alive

Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Aaaah ...
Go take your sister then by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us
You don't , you don't, you don't etc..

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar) and some organ]

And it's a fair wind
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
I guess I'm going to set a course and you know it will surely go...

[Ending (Electric Guitar and Organ)]

Dave Mason - Let It Go, Let It Flow

[snip]

You know, maybe there's more than one way to bring a tribe together...

I appreciate you Metrist. We may not aways see everything the same but that's why they call this networking.

And we may disagree at the moment but someday I think we may all see "eye to eye" as this other Dave Mason song says:

Gordon Lightfoot is a renowned Canadian singer/songwriter. Here are two very nice cover versions of his songs, Early Morning Rain by Eva Cassidy and Ribbon of Darkness by Rick Fines...

Well, it seems Gordon Lightfoot has a new album coming out (after a 15 year hiatus), with his creativity being sparked by quitting tobacco at the ripe old age of 80. What was he thinking? Smoking is probably what kept him alive for so long. I have a feeling he might not be long for this world. :-/

When I was young, my musical taste was a genre called 'contemporary'. It was basically anybody who had a musical-variety show - like The Captain and Tenille, Sonny and Cher, Barry Manilow, Donny and Marie, ect. And if they had Christmas specials, they were even better...

But I succumbed to peer pressure in junior high, and started to listen to the 'cool' music And J. Geils was one of my 1st 'cool' music purchases. And So Good was my fav because it sounded like the music I was used to ... and it was cool too.

J.Geils Band - So Good

I can hardly believe anyone remembers The Captain and Tenille, Sonny and Cher, Barry Manilow, Donny and Marie, ect.. You sound like you may be close to my generation's age or younger (who isn't?).

I even bought a Captain and Tenille album years ago (on LP of course).

I just feel I need to post something from Captain and Tenille for fun (Sassoon hair-doos and all). Hope the rest of you don't mind.
