Music for Sunday

 This is one goes out to Ginger, who recently referred to the T.S. Eliot poem.
With love.  

For I have known them all already, known them all:— Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,         50 I have measured out my life with coffee spoons; I know the voices dying with a dying fall Beneath the music from a farther room.   So how should I presume?

What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy?

Theres a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
Ive had my lungs checked out with X rays
Ive smelled the hospital hallways

Someday Ill have a disappearing hairline
Someday Ill wear pyjamas in the daytime

Times when the day is like a play by Sartre
When it seems a bookburnings in perfect order
I gave the doctor my description
Ive tried to stick my prescriptions

Someday Ill have a disappearing hairline
Someday Ill wear pyjamas in the daytime

Afternoons will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot

Maybe if I could do a play-by playback
I could change the test results that I will get back
Ive watched the summer evenings pass by
Ive heard the rattle in my bronchi...

Someday Ill have a disappearing hairline
Someday Ill wear pyjamas in the daytime

Afternoons will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot (2x)

Pagan Sphinx Entertainment Highlight and Music for Sunday

From one of our favorite films Black Orpheus 

1959

Marcel Camus directed nearly a dozen films, including Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus), which won the Golden Palm at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival.

This one goes out to the one I love.

Music for Sunday - Brett Dennen - I Will Be The One

Music for Sunday - John Prine- Lake Marie

A song that tells a story - actually two stories. This goes out to my friends Cunning Runt and his brother, Gary. 

They have both been on my mind.

Happy Birthday, Supergirl One!

Remember what your mama told you - there would be days like these. Chin up, darlin' or we can't see your dimple! ;-)

These are the days

These are the days

These are days you'll remember

Never before and never since, I promise

Will the whole world be warm as this

And as you feel it,

You'll know it's true

That you are blessed and lucky

It's true that you

Are touched by something

That will grow and bloom in you


~ Natalie Merchant

Nothing but love,
Mommy

I just went over to the Random Man's blog and saw that among others, it's Michael Stipe's birthday today. A good excuse to play some REM, don't you think? :-)

This one goes out to Lisa, who has a new blog, replacing the old place Politits. Because I know she likes REM...that's why! Out with the old and in with the new, right?

You're Really Super, Supergirl!

Happy 20th Birthday to my Winter Solstice Baby, Supergirl Two
With Love

A Song for Supergirl

She Comes in Colors

Patrick Hughes

My Lovely First Girl: I dedicate this song to you. It is perhaps selfish of me to choose this song for you. You'd probably say that The Rolling Stones are a gang of old men with misogynistic fantasies woven through their music. But just listen, you may even like it. And it reminds me of you, what can I say? ;-)

And it's a happy song; meant to cheer you up yet as I type this, I'm almost about to cry again. We need to move forward. And keep moving. Even if it's just one step a day. We need to make ground and not stop fighting for what's right and just.

All my love. Always. Mommy

Birthday Wishes for C.R.

This is going out by request to my friend The Cunning Runt. And it's his birthday today, so why don't you go on over to Little Bang Theory and wish him a good one!

Lost Lobos - Emily

This one is for Meredith and Shannon. Always keep sight of what it's all about.
It won't be long...


All my love.

The Peace Tree

My post, Mad Pride Part III is up at The Peace Tree.

I'd like to leave you with a song called To Live Is To Fly written by the late, great Townes Van Zant. It's recorded by Guy Clark on Poet: A Tribute to Townes Van Zant.

This one goes out to my friend singingbear, with peace, love and many prayers.

Hilly Seaside Town Song

My Supergirl One

All my love,

I Will Be Your Mirror

In anticipation of his concert next Saturday, I've been on a Lou Reed kick. This is dedicated to my daughter Supergirl Two who gets starry-eyed when she talks about Nico.

I love you.
