It really isn't country - listen to Green and Purple Pills, Jerimiah Peabody. Guitarzan, In the Mood, and many others. He crosses all genres in his quest for humour. Oh and try to find the video version of It's Me Again, Margaret

To be honest, Brooks, the ONLY artist I have a collection of is Ray Stevens and it runs from Everything is Beautiful to the much maligned Pirate Song. I am particularly fond of the Pirate Song and it is hard to find now - politically incorrect and all that crap. Part of the knowing his works is he is a dj staple around here during intermissions, one starts with The Streak and works through a whole album as most dances here have a midnight lunch intermission and you do want to keep some interest for the last set.

Another "trip" on a poetic adventure. This one I had to memorize for an English Lit class some 40 years ago.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door-
Only this and nothing more.'
First publication was in 1845. Title of the poem and authored by whom? If needed I'll add the next stanza if anyone needs another clue.

OK - I'll step up, Deb! The song and the band, please? (Brooks - look back at your book thread!)
First lines :
"One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small..."
(Tee will know this, I think.)

Yes, Brooks, I can vouch that the picture is of Bara and her brother, which one I don't remember now, is one of the guys on the guitars. I remember her commenting once of that picture that "back then the hair was longer than the dresses". Not only that, I have heard her singing voice in person. Whoever it is that was born in 1968 would be 42 now. No clue otherwise...  |
