yes, good one too. That was a classic session they did together. I'll enjoy listening to this. Thank you. Had thought you would like the cigarette wisdom.
Never heard this original until recently, but never liked the Janis Joplin version much; too screaming. Read in a bio or heard in an interview, don't remember which, that they met in SF, I think at the Fillmore, and she told Janis, who was smoking a cigarette, to quit, or she was going to l...
one more and I'm done: so many renditions:
Here's another informative article. https://www.americanheritage.com/searching-shenandoah
The chief's daughter story is suspect for being true. Also, the part about getting the chief drunk and stealing his daughter in not in most versions.
I was...
Thank you. What a long history! Could have come Ireland still, possibly, though wiki does not trace it further back than its U.S. history except with anecdote. I like the story of the Oneida chief Shenandoah and his daughter the best. So many different verses of it. I do like the German...
Yes, I did not know the origin. You are correct, I believe. This short video explains it. Originally a sailor's song. Irish immigrants crossing the Atlantic?
Also,the word "Shenandoah" has several meanings derived from different Native American languages:
In the Algonquin language, it...
Pretty cool that you got his signature. Treasured memory. I shook BB King's hand once in '71 after a performance at Kings Castle in North Lake Tahoe, Nevada, after his set, having a drink at the bar (dark something on the rocks) and a cigarette. Very memorable.
Like this song and looked for...
Agreed. Funny image of Pat Boone singing that! That Shaft rendition reminded me of a record my father used to play that we all used to laugh at. Not good.
"How blue can you get".
Thought BB King was the original but here is. Popular earlier in 40's and 50's. (as in 10 dollar dinner) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Moore%27s_Three_Blazers
Know this is subjective, but I do like BB's cover better than the original which is OK too.
I think that really scared the farm animals, though I liked the banjo farm version best. I got high anxiety now listening to that, though. :)
Here's something different, pretty good cover, I think
but always tough to beat original, especially when she could act too. From my favorite...
The first sentence is correct English, the second not. Sure sounds the same, though, easily misused, probably.
I like how the German word for clarification means clearing, as in clearing up the confusion which led to the lack of clarity. (This problem does not have clarity; it needs...
Yes, I meant no disrespect to Dr. Goodall. Thank you to Mentor for helping on that. I was going to followup too.
I heard the story on the radio yesterday. After Gary Larson and "Far Side" published the joke, her foundation reacted furiously against it, but when Goodall saw it, she laughed and...
