  1. The great jazz pianist Oscar Peterson died December 23, 2007 at the age of 82 from kidney complications.A sad day in music it was.The funeral was held in Mississauga, Ontario his residence for years. A great loss but his music still lives with us. I thought this clip was fitting yet it is old... is still very fresh. He performed pretty much up 'til his death. One of Diana Krall's mentors, she had the honour of performing at his funeral.

  2. oops! ...I thought this thread was about why there are low sperm counts ...sorry!

    Tom... I spewed my tea all over the screen when I read this! :biglaugh:

    OH... BTW...

    I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ANSWERS...and when people come to me for answers I say," I'm all out." :blink:

  3. Socks...

    Thanks for the Brother James videos...

    I have a few songs I downloaded a long while ago of James and the Chicks live... wonderful tunes

    Been listening to Brother James' Christmas album all day... must say it's in the top 3 christmas albums for me, if not... i might have to say right now, it's the top one in my books.

    peace

  4. Don...That video of Bella and Dave Matthews.. had me dancin' all around my den!!!Who is the string poppin' fiddle maniac....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... musical inquiring minds want to know!had to add this... funny but amazing too!

  5. Socks...Vince Gill.... ooooooo.... Vince.... my favourite... i know i mentioned I wasn't much of a country fan... but Vince... well... he's not country to me....like you said... i feel the same... he's a blues player of sorts.I'm posting one of my all time favourites... this song is about his dad and he wrote it after his dad had passed away... still brings a tear.

  6. socks...

    um..... don't know who they are or who he is... but he's doing a pretty good job of vince gill's song ... which i believe is a pretty hard act to follow.

    not alot of men have the high range that Vince has.

    Don....

  7. Chatty...

    That has got to be the most amazing video i've seen in a long long while!!!

    Heck.. call me slow... but when I was first looking at this video... I was watching this guy ... and thinking.. Oh Cool... he plays left handed...on a right handed guitar... (note pick guard is at the top)

    then he lifted his head... OH MY... it was Jimmy... MY OH MY... and it was unplugged...

    YOU GOTTA LOVE THIS VIDEO... helps me appreciate him a whole lot more!

    Thanks My Sister... you made my day (and possibly week)!

  8. Does Dwight get his jeans spray painted on?

    I love all those studs playing in their 'guido' shirts... and then the fiddler in his jean shorts, ankle socks and untanned legs...

  12. Doug,

    Great song... Don't Let It Bring You Down!!!

    This is one of the first songs I ever learnt to play on the guitar. I was but a young 14 yr old...and had NO CLUE who the song was by 'til quite a few years later.

    Thanks for the memories..

    was this from the video recently released of his 1971 performance at Massey Hall in Toronto Ontario???

  13. Socks,

    thank you very much for your thoughts.

    Things are good and returning to normal.

    Everyone's thoughts and input has helped me tremendously put things in the right place and sort my thoughts.

    You are all a wonderful and soulful. glad i'm here.

    xoxo

  14. TO EVERYONE WHO HAS POSTED HERE ON THIS THREAD:

    I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for pouring your thoughts, your soul, your heart into these posts. Your input has helped me tremendously to see the darkness, the evil intent in which this thinking stems from.

    I remember when I first came here to GS, listening to an audio sharing that was posted somewhere in the documents part of this site. It was one that D. Martind*le shared when a certain ex-cabinet member's daughter had died in an accident. She shared that the father having left twi, was the reason for this child's death. ONLY someone with Cult Thinking could make sense of that.

    Like Doojable shared, 'God needs another rose petal in heaven' teaching is outshined by this type of judgment and thinking.

    Krys, your words are beautiful and heartfelt. I too sometimes beg forgiveness for my way of thinking and especially the harshness in which I used to treat people.

    Thank you again everyone. All of your words have helped me tremendously.

  15. To everyone,

    Thank you for the comments and condolences.

    I didn't want to make the recent death the subject here but rather the thinking that TWI bred.

    Thanks for the comments... keep it coming!!!! I agree with you all!

  16. Does anyone remember being taught in TWI that the word promises a 'peaceful death'?

    and if so.... where is it 'da word?

    and if so... what about those who don't die a peaceful death? is it a reflection of that person?

  17. you started a thread about a walmart flashlight???

    maybe someone should check out toomuchtimeonyourhands.com....

    :ph34r: ... hiding and ducking ... as socks decides to throw something at me :unsure:
