Jerry Reed And Chet Atkins Jerrys Breakdown

Atkins, who frequently produced Reed's music, remarked that he had to encourage Reed to put instrumental numbers on his own albums, as Reed always considered himself more of a songwriter than a player. Atkins, however, thought Reed was a better fingerstyle player than he himself was.

"Ride off with your debts into the sunset"

"You better top off your suntan
Otherwise your skin's gonna to turn to leather
We'll make a movie in Vietnam
Tax break said we're gonna shoot on location
The rug says made in Korea
Manufactured in a factory using cheap labor
And all over Asia
The third world's becoming a major league player

Mass production in Saigon
While auto workers laid off in Cleveland
Hot jacuzzi in Taiwan
With empty factories in Birmingham
Now it's baby boomers in Hong Kong
And cowboys in Vietnam
Making their movies

Big confusion in Hollywood
Now it's American Major League in Japan
Hamburger in China
With sushi bars in Maine and Boston
The dollar sign said expand
Now it's cowboys in Vietnam
Making their movies

Wake up in the White House
Zip up your pants and get it together
Take a look at your overseas neighbor
Look at their strange behavior
Take a look at your wigwam
Inside it says that the product is Asian
Once it was only in movies
Now it's a product invasion

Mass production in Saigon
While auto workers laid off in Cleveland
Hot jacuzzi in Taiwan
With empty factories in Birmingham
Now it's sweatshops in Hong Kong
Dressing cowboys in Vietnam
Making their movies
Let's make a movie in Vietnam

You better top up your suntan
Looks like we're in for heavy weather
Economic meltdown
Nobody said it would last forever
Let's make a movie in Baghdad
Take the culture right to the Third World
Blow up a brand new civilization
In the name of globalization

Big confusion in Hollywood
Now it's American Major League in Japan
Hamburger in China
With sushi bars in Maine and Boston
Dollar signs said expand
Now it's cowboys in Vietnam
Making their movies

Watch out!
Ride off with your debts into the sunset"
- RAYMOND DOUGLAS DAVIES

THX-1138 w/Pink Floyd Soundtrack (Abridged) by Hunter Seamons

This is an experimental art piece mixing music to THX-1138 footage, made in 2005.
No editing or cutting of the existing film was done during the songs - only between songs.
This piece was inspired by the whole "Wizard of Oz synced to Dark Side of the Moon" phenomenon.

RIP

It is with a heavy heart that I that I deliver the news that my beloved cat Tabby passed this afternoon.



Being that she was adopted, I'm not certain of her age but estimate her to have lived 14-16 years.

Tabby was a small, unique, intelligent cat. She was very affectionate, but she was spunky and could also be a real bitch sometimes.

She preferred the company of my dog Klara to that of the home's other cats.

Death is an angel sent down from above

Sent for the flowers and the lilies we love
Surely it's so, for in heaven's own way
The soul is a flower of the Master's bouquet

Chorus
Gathering flowers for the Master's bouquet
Beautiful flowers that will never decay
Gathered by angels and carried away
Forever to bloom in the Master's bouquet

We must be faithful till life's work is done
Blooming away in the warmth of the sun
But every bud and each blossom some day
Will bloom as a flower in the Master's bouquet

For her,

Any Colour You Like

Richard Wright, keyboardist and founding member of the band Pink Floyd, was born 67 years ago today.
Sadly, Wright died of an undisclosed form of cancer in his home in the UK on 15 September 2008.

Below is Pink Floyd playing the song "Any Colour You Like" (from their Dark Side Of The Moon album) recorded live at the Boston Garden on June 18, 1975.

DAVIES & DICKENS

Ray Davies of The Kinks is an English rock ‘n’ roller while Charles Dickens was a writer from the Victorian era. Yet, according to Bill Glahn, editor of Live! Music Review, a case could probably be made that Ray Davies is the Charles Dickens of rock ‘n’ roll.

An interesting comparison of two of Britain's greatest writers.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

RIP Peter Alexander Greenlaw Quaife

(Dec. 31, 1943 - June 23, 2010)





Pete Quaife, the original bassist in the Kinks who played with the British Invasion band from their formation in 1961 through 1969, has died. He had been undergoing kidney dialysis for over a decade.



When he was diagnosed with renal failure in 1998, he began drawing cartoons about his experience undergoing dialysis treatment.

Nashville Or Bust

I recently happened across this great series of posts .


A.V. Club head writer and hip-hop specialist Nathan Rabin recently decided to spend a year immersing himself in the canon of country music, a genre he knew little about but was keen to explore. The result: “Nashville Or Bust,” a series of essays about seminal country artists. After one year of country (dated from the column’s introduction on March 3, 2009), Rabin plans to travel south and explore some of country music’s most hallowed landmarks and institutions.

I can't agree with the inclusion of all the artists that he covers, but he has put a good deal of research into the project. Definitely worth a look.
