By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. Confucius

Well I dreamed I saw the knights in amour coming saying something about a queen, there was peasants singing and drummers drumming and the archer split the tree, there was a fanfare blowing to the sun....

There was a fanfare blowing to the sun That was floating on the breeze Look at mother nature on the run In the nineteen-seventies I was lying in a burned out basement With a full moon in my eyes

I was hoping for a replacement when the sun burst through the sky. There was a band playing in my head and I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a friend had said. I was hoping it was a lie. Thinking about what a friend had said. I was hoping it was a lie.

Thinking about what a friend had said hoping it was lie. Well I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying in the yellow haze of the sun...

There were children crying And colors flying All around the chosen ones. All in a dream, all in a dream The loading had begun. They were flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home in the sun. Flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home.

Now with a little music to those lyrics Neil Young - After The Goldrush - Live 1982 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd_mXVtjQWQ

thanks Pat; as I said in the other forum, it was straight from my heart and soul; when you've loved a musician/artist/activist as long as I've loved Mr. G, you think about things a lot; I don't go anywhere without PG CDs in my car. I made my boss, who recently retired a "relaxation" cd with PG's music. Cloudless is track one; omg do I LOVE that song! the Blind Boys of Alabama are amazing and especially that one older dude (if you saw the tour you know who I'm talking about) with the round glasses and chubby cheeks; he and the young man were hitting the high notes and my (former) boss LOVED the CD; she keeps it in the bedroom and if she can't sleep, she plays it. Tickeled me and made me so happy to hear that. You guys rule; thanks for the nice words. Connie ConeHead

Have a nice trip Pat; where are you going? You're not sneaking off to a PG concert without us, are you? (j/k). Peace my friend ConeHead

Na bean do'n chat gu lamhainn' Is the Gaelic the motto of the Clan Macpherson: Be wary of the ungloved cat A Scottish wild cat with its claws extended can be very dangerous and one should avoid contact or suffer the consequences.

My Grandfather came over on a boat from Ireland with my Great-Grandparents when he was about 8 yrs old. His parents spoke gaelic. When my Grandfather married my Grandmother, they all lived together in Maine. After my dad was born he picked up the gaelic, as kids do, and would translate for my Grandmother, whom I guess would be going nuts because she couldn't understand what was going on.

Hi Connie -- Your idea of the relaxation CD for your boss sounds wonderful!!! (We could probably all use one of those once in a while, yeah? As for my upcoming trip -- no, sadly not sneaking off to see PG (although I've been known to be able to put such a trip together in a very, very short notice (Deb Grant would be able to attest to the fact that we once managed to put together a very quick trip -- and it remains the most memorable trip I've ever had concerning PG. ) For Big Time Ideas -- Nice to see you back again. Nice story about your grandparents also. The language is not the easiest to learn (from what I can tell). Every year when I would visit Eire (Kiltimagh, County Mayo), I would ask the children to teach me some words -- I'm hopeless at learning other languages, so they'd teach me some words and I'd immediately forget them . Although Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic are very similar, there are some differences. Also, did you know that in Eire, they refer to the language simply as "Irish"? (Just a wee bit of trivia for you in case you ever need it on Jeopardy or some such show. ) Kind regards to all,

BTI-Do you still have family in Maine? If so, which part of Maine? My Dad is from Maine, and grew up in Hancock County, in Ellsworth and we've got family ties to County Cork. Just curious...

And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker T.S. Eliot quotes (American born English Editor, Playwright, Poet and Critic, 1888-1965) "People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over." Jim Morrison "To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die." Thomas Campbell "Life is a brief intermission, between birth and death, enjoy it." M.K. Soni "I think of death as some delightful journey that I shall take when all my tasks are done." Ella Wheeler Wilcox "A day grows old as we do. Do not wish death upon it. Let it live, let it love, and only then should you let it rest in peace." Michelle C. Ustaszeski "We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late. Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it?" Buddha

Pat, Nemesis 47, the above song gave me a strong sense of harmony in thought last night would you both agree?

The Neil Young song???

Yes, Nemesis 47.

it's a very good song, kinda touches a chord in the soul - this is my fave Neil Young song - kind of light and airy but fun (I'd like to get a note from Page lol) Downtown lyrics There's a place called Downtown Where the hippies all go And they dance the Charleston And they do the limbo Yeah the hippies all go there 'Cause they want to be seen It's like a room full of pictures It's like a psychedelic dream Downtown Let's go downtown Downtown at night Downtown Let's have a party Downtown at night Yeah it's right around the corner Up and down the hill When you hear the band playin' It's gonna give you a chill Give your money to the gateman Young blood in his eye Hold on to your baby When you slip into the sky Downtown Let's go downtown Downtown tonight Downtown Hear the band playin' Downtown all right [solo] Jimi's playin' in the back room Led Zeppelin on stage There's a mirror ball twirlin' And a note from Page Like a water-washed diamond In a river of sin Goin' down like a whirlpool When you get sucked in Downtown Let's go downtown Downtown tonight Downtown Hear the band playin' Downtown all right [solo] Downtown Let's go downtown Downtown tonight Downtown Let's have a party Downtown all right [solo]
