[Phillip Allen]

nice stuff

[Plumbtex]

Yeah, I'm a fan. Not too long ago she sent out a call to area boatbuiders for a traditional wooden row boat for use in a video shoot. I don't know what she came up with.

Vinho verde and Joan Manuel Serrat tonight.



I won't attempt a translation right now, but it's very good, 'laden with the sadness of mortal men'. "Sombras de China' are shadow puppets.

El hombre vino del mar, piel oscura, ojos pequeños,
las manos llenas de sombras, las sombras llenas de sueños.
Y a cambio de una cerveza por la noche en la cantina,
con exótica destreza, regalaba sombras,
sombras de la China.

Sombras de la China, sombras de la China.
Vea correr la liebre por la cortina,
al ganso haciendo el ganso, al héroe y al villano.
Las manos del sueño siempre traen un sueño de la mano.

El amor vino en Abril recitando viejas coplas;
las manos llenas de besos, los besos llenos de sombras.
Y con las primeras nieves se escapó entre bambalinas
dibujando en las paredes sombras y más sombras
sombras de la China.

Sombras de la China, sombras de la China.
Vea a Pierrot llorando por Colombina,
al lobo de la estepa aullar al cielo en vano.
Las manos del sueño siempre traen un sueño de la mano.

La vida vino del Sur y se me llevó con ella.
Las manos, llenas de sombras; las sombras, llenas de estrellas.
Y con ella voy y vengo fijo en que al volver la esquina
lo que soy y lo que tengo solo serán sombras,
sombras de la China.

Sombras de la China,sombras de la China.
Vea correr la liebre por la cortina,
al ganso haciendo el ganso, al héroe y al villano
Las manos del sueño siempre traen un sueño de la mano.

Which took me to Woodstock and to my current fav Jefferson Airplane. Miss Grace has a fan :-)

Not only one. The Airplane was the soundtrack of my growing up.

And what could be more appropriate than Wooden Ships?

My soundtrack growing up was Skynyrd. I was 9 when Woodstock happened, a bit oblivious to what was happening in the world. First exposure to R&R was hearing the neighbor kids garage band playing Let it Be, it is a favorite to this day. I feel like I'm going back in time with youtube and adding in the greats that were just before my time. And loving every minute of it.

Cheers,

Fully exposed. Had a Beatnick living down the hall as a tenant. Frank had a large collection of the early folk guys and I began to attend Newport shows when I was a young teen. It seems there was a 4-5 year period where every weekend we'd get together and listen to some new band/sound or new album by an established group. Living near Boston, we traveled in at least once a month to the Garden or the Orpheum for some crazy, rocking show. 1/2 my graduating HS class attended Woodstock.

Think the only big guys of the time I didn't see was Zepplin and the Bay City Rollers. Didn't like some of those Brit glitz bands.
