Music once again soothes the soul! Ted, I miss Ted. Ted come back! :(--> 'til the next time...

James Taylor an actor??? --> Ok, this evening I was watching a bit of television and happened to flick by this old,very dated, 'B' type movie. Low and behold, I see James Taylor in this movie. He looked just like what he looked like on the cover of his album, 'Sweet Baby James'. The movie was called, 'Two Lane Blacktop' (1971) The movie was veeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy slow and I did not watch in its entirety. Does anyone know of this movie and/or has seen it? I just kept waiting and hoping for him to break into song! :D--> 'til the next time...

Oak, Escaped name = Dan Moran 'til the next time...

Miss you too Chatty :(--> Cliff and you are both in my thoughts and prayers. 'til the next time...

Just three words...(well almost :P-->) Earth, Wind and Fire ~ any takers out there? I loved these guys in the mid to late 70's. I think I wore out at least a dozen pair of shoes dancin' to this stuff. All time favourite song - 'September' And one more question - maybe Socks or Ted you guys can help me out here. Were any of the musicians in Joyful Noise once musicians in Tower of Power? 'til the next time...

Ok, Popping in to say hello. Am listening to Linda Ronstadt do : Someone to Watch Over Me by Gershwin. Man that piece of music is timeless. Just a musical thought .. :D-->. Ok, I'm back, am listening to Nickel Creek with John Mayer doing 'NEON'. If anyone is an upright bass lover this is the song for you. OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU ~ soothing to the soul! ;)--> :D--> 'til the next time... [This message was edited by A la prochaine on January 22, 2003 at 12:55.]

Socks, I'm not sure what I have to do with all that rain you're experiencing but the theme song for today where I am should be... Gordon Lightfoot ~ 10 Degrees and Getting Colder! :(--> Actually this morning I woke to a lovely -20 Celcius ! Brrrrrrrr! But this thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy ! :D--> 'til the next time...

Socks, This Keb Mo is a special individual isn't he. Speaks right to the heart! 'til the next time...

Ok, I'm listening to Annie Lennox - 'No More I Love You's'. What versatility she has in that voice of hers. Such strength. I was never a 'Eurythmic' fan, but I love this song! I probably would have been a fan if I had not been so Way Brained! --> 'til the next time...

I just read the latest few posts here and wanted to add a bit of information. It may help, don't know... I remember during PFAL '77 we were put into twigs and one of our topics we were to research were these 900 promises. So each twig was given a certain chapter or section of the old testament to search. Then they recorded our findings and it was put into some computer. I remember them coming out and showing us the print out of all the scriptures that mentioned a promise from God. I think VP said it was the very first time in history that this was ever done. --> Ya, like those snowy gas pumps --> Hey Oak, I'm laughing my guts out here :D--> 'til the next time...

Buckeroo, Grrrrrrrrrrr How dare you mess with my sweet and innocent mind like that... 'til the next time... :D-->

Hoppie, I forgot to mention something... Check your private topic thingy ;)--> Thanks! 'til the next time...

Hoppie! :D--> So nice to see you here on my all time favourite thread! Yes, Ste. Anne's Reel is a fav. of mine. My mom plays it on her mandolin and I accompany her on the guitar. Gordon Lightfoot is alive and well. I was on Google this morning and saw that he is still touring. And, as far as I know he has done a 7 day in a row concert at Massey Hall in Toronto Ontario Canada every spring for the past 30 years. Yes, to see him in a small out of the way pub would be a dream. Aselin Debison I do not know, but I'm sure he is fantastic. Do you know of Natalie McMaster from Cape Breton and the Rankins are from Maboo Cape Breton. There is so much music there it's wild! About 3 summers ago Keynote, me and the family went there. HOLY CRAPOLA! We were in Baddeck Nova Scotia and we had just finished eating, strolling down the street and I heard this great fiddling music. We walked into this little community hall. There was this fiddler sitting in the corner, and people were dancing. It was a ceiligh! I was home!!! And that place, like the Highlands of Scotland! Absolutely beautiful. Cape Bretonner's have been able to keep their music (which was originally settled by Scottish and Irish Immigrants) due to their isolation. I have read articles where fiddlers from Scotland/Ireland go to Cape Breton to study their music they have lost. Don't get me going, I could babble on for hours... 'til the next time...

Buckeroo, About the name change. Have you tried e-mailing Paw and finding out or maybe you could just try re-registering under a new name. Many people have done this here at GS. It can be done. I'm just not sure how. --> But I like you as Buck. I don't think of you as the MCP you started out thinking you wanted to be, but rather the 'outdoorsy - Jeremiah Johnston - rugged, but softy' type you really are. Wrestled any bears lately? Actually when you started that thread about consensual sex, I did not find you were offensive, just being honest. 'til the next time...

Buck, Who is Gordon Lightfoot? He was mentioned here earlier on this thread. He is a Canadian Folk Singer who started in the early 60's. A true balladeer. His voice in the early days was smooth and rich and the guitar work was awesome. If You Could Read my Mind and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald were hits he had. You may have heard of these. But, to tell you the truth, I am not fussy on those tunes. It's his more remote stuff that I appreciate. Songs such as ***** Willow, Cattails, In the early Morning Rain, Steel Rail Blues, Cotton Jenny, Love and Maple Syrup, Summerside of Life, Boss Man, Pony Man, Did She Mention my Name are just a few of my favourites. Thanks for asking! :D--> 'til the next time...

Hi ya! Well, last night, little A la went out to the local folk club for the first time. I have lived in this town for 12 years and I have never sought out this place! What a freghen Way brain I have been!!! --> It was great. This individual got up and played about 5 different instruments and sang. His repetoire included Woodie Guthrie to gospel to blues. He was a master! He is local but has been performing and teaching for 30 years. He played and sang "I'll Fly Away" and played 'Ste. Anne's Reel" on this mandolin/guitar sorta' instrument. His fingers moved at about a million miles an hour! His voice was very similar to Gordon Lightfoot's when he sang the balladeering type tunes. If it hadn't been for this thread, I know I would have never gone out. This thread has brought out so much of the desire and passion I have had for music locked-up in my mental closet for so many years. I recently told someone I was IMing with that I remember asking God to take the passion I had for music away from me, since I thought it was a distraction and kept me from getting into the word. Since the way corps were not allowed any secular music for the first 4 months of their in-rez training, I figured music was a 'bad' thing and that is why we should control it's influence on us at all times. Thank you Chatty for your inspired Thread! It Rocks!!!! ----------------------------- Ok, I'm listening to Van Morrison right now, "Ain't no Sunshine" oooooooooooooohhhhhhh, How Sweet it is! 'til the next time...

Hello 10th Corps, I'm back just to say, Hello and Keynote has read your posts ~ he's madly getting his typing skills up to snuff so he can get responding to everyone. Hey, Buck, your stories, your stories... Keep 'em comin'! I was also thinking if some of you want to post some of your 'Way Orchestra' stuff on the music thread ~ I'm sure us 'music thread groupies' would love to hear about it! :D--> Thanks! 'til the next time...

Nighty night Oak! Thanks for dropping in before you retire! 'til the next time...

Wow Chatty, What a post. That was poetry. I ditto everything you said. I have often thought of starting a thread 'What GS has done for me'. And yes, the music in TWI is what kept me going through the tough times. Even the old gospel songs in the blue book were such an inspiration. The music was the thing that would often heal my heart from the abuse I was experiencing from certain leaders. Thanks for your post. It is wonderful. IGOT: Such a sweet comment about your wifey there. If I were her right now I'd be one big smile from cheek to cheek :D--> I know I'm a hopeless romantic --> 'til the next time...

This is for you Hope!(wink) ________________________________________________Stevie Wonder My Cherie Amour La la la la la la, La la la la la la My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day My cherie amour, distant as the milky way My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore You're the only girl my heart beats for How I wish that you were mine In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street I've been near you, but you never noticed me My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore That behind that little smile I wore How I wish that you were mine La la la la la la, La la la la la la La la la la la la, La la la la la la Maybe someday, you'll see my face amoung the crowd Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore You're the only girl my heart beats for How I wish that you were mine La la la la la la, La la la la la la La la la la la la, La la la la la la Enjoy!

Yes, I felt like this. Having pretty much lived all of my teen years in the word, I felt so resentful at times. I would hear of other teens having fun, going to concerts and doing 'teen' things together and I was sitting in a bible fellowship with a bunch of adults. There were never any teens where I was. So I was always with adults. I did make up for it at some point when I went to college and that was only because at the time I was not attending a fellowship. It was the greatest time of my adolescent years. Party time!!!!! :D--> PS I realize I'm not posting about the most recent posts. I haven't had the chance to read right to the end yet, but thought I would start by responding to the first few posts. Merci. 'til the next time...

Ahhh shucks Chatty, I'm blushing! --> Glad you are enjoying Norah. She's quite a lady! Ok... Steely Dan ~ here we go... ANY MAJOR DUDE WILL TELL YOU I never seen you looking so bad my funky one You tell me that your superfine mind has come undone CHORUS: Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again When the demon is at your door In the morning it won't be there no more Any major dude will tell you Have you ever seen a squonk's tears? Well, look at mine The people on the street have all seen better times CHORUS I can tell you all I know, the where to go, the what to do You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you CHORUS _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ And this next one was from the Nightfly album : 1980 ~ What a funky song! I.G.Y. Standing tough under stars and stripes We can tell This dream's in sight You've got to admit it At this point in time that it's clear The future looks bright On that train all graphite and glitter Undersea by rail Ninety minutes from New York to Paris Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K. What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free Get your ticket to that wheel in space While there's time The fix is in You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky You know we've got to win Here at home we'll play in the city Powered by the sun Perfect weather for a streamlined world There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free On that train all graphite and glitter Undersea by rail Ninety minutes from New York to Paris (More leisure time for artists everywhere) A just machine to make big decisions Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision We'll be clean when their work is done We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free ----------------------------------------------- Ahhh, that felt so good... :D--> 'til the next time...

Linda, You are a funny lady! "well, most of the dances." :D--> Thanks for putting a smile on my face! Ya' jocks in tights, not my thing either! 'til the next time...

Hope you are enjoying yourself there Socks! Look, I chose the 'corn girl' because she was the only one I could identify with at the time on these pictures here on GS. Later on I tried to change her, but with my limited computer skills, was unsuccessful. I think I need courses from Hope. I want to wink at all the men on this sight too! ;)--> HOPE: Sorry, you are right, Lisa T. but your voice has the heart with which Joni sang! So there! :P--> I mentioned Steely Dan a few pages ago, (maybe page 1 or 2)! Life doesn't get much better! I overdosed on these guys for about 4 years. Drove everyone crazy as usual! :D--> TTFN :D--> 'til the next time...

Socks, Quack back, translation: Oui, translation: Yes, just ask my family... 'til the next time...
