*races over to check Bob's Soundtrack*  It was me!  I didn't even realize until you pointed it out, Sarah!   Thanks for that.  I posted another comment on his new entry to hopefully clarify.  I was indeed agreeing with his post in general.  Ha, I confused Bob!  Part of me is amused and part of me feels like an idiot.

God's favorite joke since 1984.

"If you don't think, you shouldn't talk!" - The March Hare, Alice In Wonderland

See??? That's why I haven't posted there yet.  I just know that no matter what I say or how long I brainstorm and pre-write and sit with my brain in a cramp, it'll come out sounding like crap.

Bobby loves me, this I know, because my Seannie tells me so...
"Alan's true calling [is] to be a whacko percussionist... to hit things with mallets." ~ Sean McCann

Really? I'm the first to notice?

Bob has a new soundtrack up... hippies and the Moody Blues today.  :o)

Desperate times call for desperate measures
Open your mind to all life's little pleasures
The hole in this world could be healed if by chance
everyone just stood up, took their pants off and danced

~Bruce Guthro

WooHOO! Thanks Bob! Love Moody Blues!!

Hmmm...perhaps, as a people, they are better suited to hard times than dancing around with flowers in their hair.

Nah!

Today's newest Soundtrack from Bob is something I can totally relate to.

The music of the later 70's...Boston, Yes, Rush...synthesizers.  I don't know Max Webster, but in my "mind's ear" I could hear his sound.  It was all just too familliar. 

In fact I was listening to Yes when i was reading it!  Made me laugh.

"If we ever get around to doing our Canadian cover album (along with our kids album, our Oysterband tribute, our instrumental album, etc.)..."

Do you think he's being facetious, or can we hope?

I'm sure I've told this story before, but the first nice thing my brothers ever did for me was sneak me in to a Max Webster concert at Lord Elgin High School when I was still in grade 8, which would have been 1979.  The album of which Bob speaks is one of those great ones that transcends time-unfortunately our family copy was lost in the Great Basement Flood of 1990.  I'll have to see if it's available on CD, and get me one!  GREAT stuff. 

  If Bob covered "Let Go the Line" I'd die a happy woman. 

  Didja notice, tho, that he doesn't mention the christmas album in the list of projects on the back burner?  sigh.

In the social order, I accept the bottom rung, until the wine is pouring and the Lord commands a song!

Dude!  Sorry Sharn, just HAD to call you Dude.  Did you know that Max Webster did a reunion gig in T.O. last week?  No, I wasn't there.  Sigh.

Hit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highway"

Dude, no way!!  I would TOTALLY have been there if I still lived in the province!  Provided the tickets weren't priced like the Police reunion tickets-wholy moly!

Bob's Soundtrack made me feel so proud to be English tonight!    I remember listening to the program he referes to, "Last Night of the Proms",  with my parents.  The American version may be something like Arthur Feilder and the Boston Pops playing on the Mall in DC on 4th of July....Last Night of the Proms is THAT kind of patriotic.

I thought of my Grandad, the RAF Pilot, whose picture hangs in an RAF museum in Edinborough Castle.

I thought of the many visits back to Egland's green and pleasant lands every summer with my Mom.

Of the magazine This England that came 4 times a year and sat on our coffee table in NJ full of pictures of the bucolic places and sentiments Bob describes.  It did exist once.

Of cousins, grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, and far distant places that used to be 'home'.

It makes me want to belt out RULE BRITANNIA!

Loved this soundtrack!

Ooohh, Bob discussing 18th-century poetry is certainly swoon-worthy! 

(Okay, as an English prof who teaches pre-1800 literature, I'm a bit biased.)

Bob never fails to deliver with his Soundtrack. No matter how informative and a "window into his creativity" the writing may be, there is always at least one line that gets me laughing and shows me what a sense of humor this guy has.  Whether it be the "Fire in the Burin" or appeciating Beyonce's "genetics", he has a very appealing wit. 

Now who else was happy to read this line,"In the midst of this current phase of studio productivity..." ?
