Blue Yodel No 9 In Black & White-Louie & Johnny Do Jimmie Rodgers

I was arguing with some folks about black & white music & whether country & blues had common roots. I was right, of course. Here, Johnny & Louis recreate a session that Louis had with the Singing Brakeman in 1930.

And for old time's sake. Here's Blue Yodel #1.

At Last There's Help .



I wouldn't trade ole Jumbo for anything, but lugging him around has taken its toll. With this book, I don't feel so alone anymore.

"I Ain't Dying for No White Man"

This now appears on the internets in Abie Baby Not Three Five Zero Zero as I remembered it. They have obviously changed it. "Those bastards" as young Art would say.

If You Had To Buy A Used Car from One of These Men, Who Would You Choose?


"Collateral damage" -God Help Us.

It may be my cultural bias, but I don't believe that we would do this deliberately and the Taliban would because the fools, not unlike some similarly idiotic Christian and Jewish groups, believe that it's ok to burn the skin off children in furtherance of their sicko interpretation of God's will. See, Civilian deaths in US airstrike overshadow Obama's Afghan summit
I realize that I'm looking through a glass darkly and but if you are a loving and omnipotent God, please stop this and open the eyes of those who think they are serving you including me.

What a Wonderful Mystery. St. Theresa's Prayer and Blind Rigid Idolatry Claiming the Same Source .

St. Theresa's Prayer:
May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

Thanks to Eileen
