It's Good Friday

[Kidlicious]

Are you the dog's lawyer?

Good Saturday everyone!

[giblets]

Yes. It was only a matter of time before people started getting lawyers for their dogs.

[Uncle Sparky]

STFU and go try on your new tutu.

Sloww quotes from Billy Elliot!

[SlowwHand]

I don't know who that is.


EDIT: A movie?

[Egbert]

Do we really want to destroy any last shred of semblance of a "family friendly" site here?

Is there a last semblance to destroy?

[Uncle Sparky]

I don't know who that is.


EDIT: A movie?

Billy Elliot was a movie, then a Musical (with lyrics by Elton John) about a boy in a northern England mining town who wants to dance Ballet. 'STFU and go try on your new tutu'... isn't a direct quote, but does sum up his father's initial reaction.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Bumped over the 2005 threads.

[molly bloom]

Any thread gets trolled by sex related bull****, and ideally gays will be involved.


Pretty damned disgusting.

Thanks for the sweeping generalization, Slowwie.

[Imran Siddiqui]

... but is for marriage equality.

[molly bloom]

Slowwie hates gays, he's just smarter about it now than he used to be...

He hasn't been beastly to me. I may be the exception, owing to our common musical interests.

[SlowwHand]

Sweeping generalization? If you mean my reference to trolling threads, then yes. If you mean about gays, no.
I don't like PDA by anyone, straight or gay. I don't hate gays. I never said that I did. I may think individual gays are disgusting, but I think MOBIUS is disgusting.
I've said before that gays should be allowed a civil marriage and be eligible for benefits from such. What do you want? If you want more, it's too much.

[molly bloom]

Sweeping generalization? If you mean my reference to trolling threads, then yes.

This generalization:

Any thread gets trolled by sex related bull****, and ideally gays will be involved.

Now you can read that more than one way- you could mean that the big gay homos are the ones doing the threadjacking, or you could mean that non gay people threadjacking bring in homogay-related topics. If you mean that the mary queens are the ones 'ideally' threadjacking, I'd like to see some figures vis-a-vis this assertion, with a breakdown into:

hetero
homo
lesbo
bi
zip diddly

and maybe a geographical analysis too, if you're not too busy.

By the way, meant to recommend this to you ages ago, sorry for the delay :

LENA HUGHES - Queen of the Flat Top Guitar
Liner notes by JOHN RENBOURN.
LP/CD/DL January 29th, 2013

A musical “amateur” that best exemplified true artistry, Lena Hughes was born in Grape Grove Township, Missouri, in 1904. Though she never recorded any 78s and only one LP, Hughes was most influential through her steady performances at various fiddler conventions and folk festivals throughout the Ozarks. She was an excellent fiddler, banjoist and guitar picker who retained the largely extinct repertoire of parlor pieces and the variety of specialized tunings that were necessary to play them. She lived most of her life in Ludlow, Missouri and passed away in 1998.

Lena Hughes’ repertoire can be divided roughly in half: finger-picked numbers adapted from fiddle tunes and recast parlor guitar pieces gleaned from popular sentimental songs, hymns, and 19th century airs. As a faithful attendee at folk festivals, Hughes was accompanied by her guitar-playing husband, Jake. Her most mesmerizing performances, such as Pearly Dew, Spanish Fandango, and Kentucky Moon Waltz, depend heavily upon the resonance of the open chord as it relates to the picking of the melodic line, primarily on one string. This tonal reliance is most similar to the “celestial octave” that Washington Phillips employs, with similar effect, on his Train Your Child. This ethereal harmonic technique, which seems so natural in Hughes’ playing, is the holy grail for most finger-picking guitarists. Her lack of pretense and her mastery of this repertoire is what defines her legendary status.

These recordings were made in the early 60’s in Arkansas and released in very limited fashion as a private press LP. Remastered by Chris King. Designed by Susan Archie.

Released by: Tompkins Square
Release date: Jan 29, 2013
