I wonder if lovin'Sam got all the royalties?great band names in this list,chance.You're into this Blues,hey. Must reread general on defining d'Blues,again. Dr.John,does he have a 'modern'record of classic covers?Have you ever browsed Arhoolie Records.they specialise in tex/mex but all this other southern stuff as well. if you can think/know of an appropriate song to inject into 'comfy2'as post 6 as a counter/sympatico point?i can't think of one at moment,i'm grappling with what on earth was the sin of Gomorrah! no i'm not going to type it into google,the Feds might trace me!!or worse Family First. my recorded version of rascal has a Dog in it,suppose by changing a couple of verses,copyright is shot.
anyhow,thanks for the lyrical accompanyment,chance
There are so many different versions of 'rascal' JR.
It looks like each artist had their own variation, this is one by Louis Armstrong, complete with the dog.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you! Oh, you rascal, you! Boy, I brought you into my home; You wouldn't leave my wife alone; I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you.
Now, I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you! I'll be tickled to death when you leave this earth, you dog! Hmmm, I took you for my friend, The way you bit me in the back was a sin; You ain't no good, you rascal, you!
As I said before, I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you! Hmm, yea-ee-yea, you rascal, you! Boy, when you're laying six feet deep, No more fried chicken will you eat; Aw, you dog, I know that'll break your heart, ha, ha, ha, ha! Boy! Boy, what is it that you've got That makes my wife think you're hot? Oh, you dog, you ain't no good. Naw!
You bought my wife a bottle of Coca Cola, So you could play on her victrola; Ha, you dog! Yes, sir!
The pleasure was all mine JR, I'm into all types of music except opera, death metal and rap. I've gone back to JR rather than Mr D before HC promotes you from Dr to Master of the Universe, and hey I ain't gonna share that title !
Well jr I never had you down as a grappler. Gripper,twister,gouger maybe but grappler sheesh. Let me put yers out of ya misery. In the real early days after the big one got the buildin and plantin and evictions out of the way. What was required was reliable bods who would obey the big requests that were handed out. There weren't too many of those sort of people around.
In those early days communications tended to be spoken directly to the people. Given them the good word about this and that. Anyhow, there wasn't a whole lot of cooperation happening, particularly in these towns of Sodom and Gomorrah. Anyhow one day the big one is having a chat with Abraham, saying time was up for them, Abraham who was pretty pally with the great one starts in on bargaining. Like will ya leave them alone if you can find fifty good uns living there. Yep. What about if there is only 45. Yep. And so it goes on until Abraham gets it down to ten. Yep. At the time the great one had a couple of people with him. So they are dispatched to check out if there are 10 good uns there. When the two people arrived they were met by Lot. He invites them back to his house for the night. Lot by the way is one of the good uns. While these two people are in Lots house, the general population decides to gather around and call out to Lot we want to 'know' your guests. Well the word 'know' in this context tends to mean sexual intimacy. Lot being aware these two people are on a special mission realizes they had to be protected. So he goes out and offers his two virgin daughters to the rabble. After a bit of argy bargy the two people just blind the trouble makers so they can't find the door. Lot and his family were dragged out by the two people to safety except for the wife who didn't do as she was told and looked back.
Over the years mate there has been some funny stuff concocted about this story. The implication has been that the sexual intimacy was of the homosexual kind. Nah mate, in those early days when the modern day Bibles were being written in English they mistranslated the Hebrew word ANASIM to mean 'men' instead of 'people'. Who is to say the two people who were the great one's offsiders weren't ladies. After all ladies tend to be pretty good at working out who are the good guys and who aren't.
Now I know I have gone on a bit jr but I thought this should be cleared up. By the way, as you progress further into the first five chapters of the old book, the great voice doesn't get as picky about obeying every word. There are the BIG 10 . You know the ones like 'Don't lie'.
These are the must-not-ever ones. Hey mate, it is a pity the politicians don't feel they are included in the rules. Maybe it is just a case of some of their religious mates whispering in their ear, 'I speak to god and he says it is OK to lie, if it is for the greater good of the people' 'Just say you are doing it in god's name'. Yes jr so much shite is done in gods name these days, it really makes you wonder. Sooner or later I fear a handbag will come wizzing through the air. WHACK!!!
I feel what must be the sin of pride if i can have you post multi-line posts,Wombat.The above is excellent.It highlights the GREAT MISTAKE of these so proclaimed born agains that have gone d'ARISE in the world today. Your "version",wombat that's not how it's written as per Gideons,it's with that flavour of Gnostics.When i sit around thinking on THE meaning and try out writing allegorical i go out to where sex=sects, the 'grapple'comes when sects r good.No wonder i drink Moonshine Grappa! ahh a bible message comes STRAIGHT tween d'Eyes on that one. great thanks again wombo, chance that's an excellent "i've never heard that one song" all i need now is to break the Hunter as my delivery Dr and i just might have it published.
No worries mate!! Grappa, strewth that'll purse ya lips jr.
