Hey Annie - Did you make a decision regarding the cats? | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 9:31am

Funny that. I just listened the other day to the "London's the Place for me" comp. Some splendid tunes there, guvnor ... | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 9:32am
annie:
well, i passed it by the other and he said no, he did not want to transport cats up from NY. oh well.. and i just looked now at the bouvier dog breed. wow impressive .. very nice | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 9:35am
Andrew in Toronto:
Thanks for the calypso. I think that this is the way that all the news of the day should be commented on and shared. Fantastic musical tradition. | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 9:36am
Cecile:
Bouviers will let you enter a building or area, but won't let you go unless released by their owner! | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 9:38am
annie:
i think i'll just call my vet and see what she wants to give away, she always has something..cecile do you do rescue work as well? the bouvier is anice breed for me up here, but i fear the money factor will rear its ugly head. | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 9:38am
gumby:
I too dig the Carribean vocal inflections. Junior Gumby No. 1 had a third grade teacher from Jamaica, she would be hollering at them & it still sounded like honey. Although the begging bartenders at our all inclusive in jamaica got a little tiresome with there "Take care me mon" night time cooing. | |

Calypso...just what my Friday morning needs, thank you Doug. | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 9:40am
Doug:
Paul, The Goebel Reeves/Tom Brosseau similarities ARE striking. I made that connection just last night whilst preparing the show. | |

Fri. 11/21/08 9:43am
Bad Ronald:
Annie - Found this site for Bouvier rescues. They're in Michigan: http://www.secondchancebouvrescue.com/ Warning - the site is garish with bad audio. I hope it's not indicative of their services! | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 9:44am
Cecile:
I don't do rescure work, don't even have the 1st pup yet. HOWEVER - there is a rescure out there for every single breed. Google Bouvier rescue, and you will come up with plenty of info. Good luck, they are gorg dogs! | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 9:45am

thanks so much for those connections... i'll get on that. my rattie friend might be able to help me; it's what she does. | |

Fri. 11/21/08 10:18am
annie:
i'd love to tell you how i found her: i was driving home fromvisiting a friend and i was in altered states, as it were. the dj put a song on and by the time i was halfway home i had to stop the car and just listen.. it was phenomenal!! | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 10:20am

a good car stereo can make a world of difference.. | |

Hugo:
paul/annie, I thought so ... | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 10:20am
gumby:
Palomita, that sounds more like it. Because if it was "Tired of Football" it would probably be a hillbillie song in a blues style. | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 10:24am
Hugo:
This sounds very Tony Coulter playlist-like. Nothing wrong with that, of course. | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 10:25am
Paul Sherratt:
annie, I just happened to be watching a football ( soccer ! ) match on Portuguese TV the week after Amalia Rodrigues died. One of the legendary lady's songs was played to the crowd just before the game started. Not only were grown men shedding tears but teenage lads were choking as well. | |

Fri. 11/21/08 10:45am

With that handle, I think front porch swingin' liquor pigs would just have to identify themselves as such and step off the stage and it'd still be a fine set. Anything else'd be (biscuit) gravy. | |
|

hhmmmm, biscuits... gravy.. drool. drool | |

was that the Glen Glenn of the famous Glen Glenn sound studio in Hollywood? | |

Cecile, Billy Bland's " Momma Stole The Chicken " - one for consideration .. | |
|
Fri. 11/21/08 11:01am

Excellent - thank, Paul. Not to mention the greatest chicken song of all time - the Meters' Chicken Strut Yes, it seems like there was a time where everybody grew up listening to the Opry! | |

Late to the fantasy set suggestion, C., but just another beak in the haul: Ozark Mountain Daredevils "Chicken Train" -- 500 track miles away from "Jackie Blue" -- was another unsober song selection among the Iowans singing "Drop Kick Me, Jesus". Oy. | |
