away out on the mountain...





Quiet weekend.
Went through the boxes of VHS videos that I have been collecting in case they ever become collectable and found some beauties.
Galaxy Quest!
In The Heat Of The Night!
Cool movie doods.
And then I looked through this pile of old vinyl and found a Hank Snow sings Jimmie Rodgers with some real corkers on that including Way Out On The Mountain and Hobos Meditation which is also to be found on the Trio album with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt and Emmy Lou  Harris.
It was very pleasing to drag out the old stuff.
The songs are kind of natural.
Watched a kid from the sheltered workshop this a.m. doing sort of rap gestures and making rap sounds.
It aint music.
Its anti-music.
Orwell speak has crept into everything.
That is the way of the world but what sort of world is it where noises and gestures that indicate how many bags of crack the buyer wants off the dealer have become the soundtrck of the kids lives today?
Pretty sad man.
Paddy wont You Drink Some good Old Cider
Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers.
