daniel and the sacred harp...

Daniel, Daniel and the sacred harp
Dancing through the clover
Daniel, Daniel would you mind
If I look it over

I heard of this famous harp years ago back in my home town
But I sure never thought old Daniel be the one to come and bring it around
Tell me Daniel how the harp came into your posession
Are you one of the chosen few who will march in the the procession?
And Daniel said

The sacred harp was handed down, from father unto son
And me not being related, I could never be the one
So I saved up all my silver, and took it to a man
Who said he could deliver the harp, straight into my hand

Three years I waited patiently
'Till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee
He said there is one more thing I must ask
But not of personal greed
But I wouldn't listen I just grabbed the harp
And said take what you may need

Now Daniel looked quite satisfied, and the harp it seemed to glow
But the price that Daniel had really paid, he did not even know
Back to his brother he took his troubled mind
And he said dear brother I'm in a bind
But the brother would not hear his tale
He said Old Daniel's gonna land in jail
So to his father Daniel did run
And he said oh father what have I done
His father said son you've given in, you know you won your harp
But you lost in sin

marine band...




Have seen two USN Marine Bands.
One came to our town in the 50's and schools gathered in the Stadium.
They played some marches and then some swinging arrangements.
No 2 was at a memorial fo rthe Battle of the Coral Sea.
It was a grey day and you could hear them coming.
Around Perrets Corner into Willis St on the march.
Magnificent sight.

sold of collection of dvd's for a new harp.

thats how it is done folks...



The same tactics that Crosby Textor visited upon Helen Clark - not to mention several other politicos in the UK, Australia and Canada including Ken Livingstone as he battled Boris Johnson for the London mayoralty! The Crosby Textor plan is to question honesty, stability, trustworthiness reliability and the reason for the questioning does NOT have to be valid - it's the "dead cat on the table" approach! while we are all busy squabbling over the substance of the accusation it has achieved its objective! OXYGEN.
