logicbdj- You've got mail...

Peace Lily- Sorry to hear about your dad and all the negativity you are having to face right now. I'm with Tracie, though; if losing an arm means saving his life, then there is light at the end of the tunnel. I wanted to email you something, but don't have your address. If you want, mine is usaf_eod_03@yahoo.com.

My guitar spent its first night away from home last night... It is in the hands of (hopefully) someone who knows pickup installation like the back of their hand. Should have it back with the Mo' Joe, PAF Joe and the Hi-pass filter installed this afternoon. Getting excited!

Also, Just got an e-mail from Amazon.com; BSAWW Tab book has been pushed back to July 5th. Cancelled my order and went to ebay. Seller says they have more than 10 IN STOCK and that my order will ship TODAY!!

If I were you guys, I'd cancel from everywhere else and head on over to the bay.. It cost me a little extra, (19 and change w/ shipping) but it's definitely worth it to me..

Let me bring you songs from the wood:

to make you feel much better than you could know.

Dust you down from tip to toe.

Show you how the garden grows.

Hold you steady as you go.

Join the chorus if you can:

it'll make of you an honest man.

Let me bring you love from the field:

poppies red and roses filled with summer rain.

To heal the wound and still the pain

that threatens again and again

as you drag down every lover's lane.

Life's long celebration's here.

I'll toast you all in penny cheer.

Let me bring you all things refined:

galliards and lute songs served in chilling ale.

Greetings well met fellow, hail!

I am the wind to fill your sail.

I am the cross to take your nail:

A singer of these ageless times.

With kitchen prose and gutter rhymes.

Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust

An October's day, towards evening

Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough

Salt on a deep chest seasoning

Last of the line at an honest day's toil

Turning the deep sod under

Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone

Flies at the nostrils plunder.

The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie

with the Shire on his feathers floating

Hauling soft timber into the dusk

to bed on a warm straw coating.

Heavy Horses, move the land under me

Behind the plough gliding --- slipping and sliding free

Now you're down to the few

And there's no work to do

The tractor's on its way.

Let me find you a filly for your proud stallion seed

to keep the old line going.

And we'll stand you abreast at the back of the wood

behind the young trees growing

To hide you from eyes that mock at your girth,

and your eighteen hands at the shoulder

And one day when the oil barons have all dripped dry

and the nights are seen to draw colder

They'll beg for your strength, your gentle power

your noble grace and your bearing

And you'll strain once again to the sound of the gulls

in the wake of the deep plough, sharing.

Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill

Up into the cold wind facing

In stiff battle harness, chained to the world

Against the low sun racing

Bring me a wheel of oaken wood

A rein of polished leather

A Heavy Horse and a tumbling sky

Brewing heavy weather.

Bring a song for the evening

Clean brass to flash the dawn

across these acres glistening

like dew on a carpet lawn

In these dark towns folk lie sleeping

as the heavy horses thunder by

to wake the dying city

with the living horseman's cry

At once the old hands quicken ---

bring pick and wisp and curry comb ---

thrill to the sound of all

Soooooooo..... Joe is confirmed to be at a music festival in Quebec this summer with Metallica....

..........sooooo just wondering Joe, got any other tour plans for the rest of the summer, or is this a single show? :)

Quebec is lovely.

This bird could give dancing lessons!

P. Lily, sorry yer dad has to lose his arm. That stinks, but if it prolongs his life it'll all be worth it. Cancer changes lives forever - that's one sure thing in this life. I'm trying not to think about my pop's next appt. They found a polyp and he'll get the biopsy results then. Makes my belly giddy just thinking about it. ((hugs))
