Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now?

 

 

Occasionally I have dreams about authoritative people from my branch or ward reproaching me severely for some misstep or another. Once it was when a convention and General Conference were the same weekend and I went to the convention.

 

When I met the guy at Stake Conference the next month and told him about it, he did his best to try and reassure me about the subject.

 

Usually I find that I have to read the talks a month after the fact in order to gain much from General Conference because my mind keep wandering to other things during the live talks.

Wandering Ways

Great Big Sea

Farewell to the whiskey, tobacco and smoke,

Farewell to the rum and occasional coke,

Farewell to the girls who came ready to play,

For this is the end of my wandering ways.

 

Woke up one morning to the slam of a door,

my lady had left me, she could take it no more,

The note on the table, in black and white told,

my wandering ways had left her heart cold.

 

We met last December while out on the tear,

The laughter it flowed with the wine and the beer.

I promised her riches, I said I'd be true,

She gave me a baby and the party was through.

 

Farewell to the whiskey, tobacco and smoke,

Farewell to the rum and occasional coke,

Farewell to the girls who came ready to play,

For this is the end of my wandering ways.

 

Now I miss my lady, I miss her so much,

the smell of her hair and her comforting touch

and I miss my boy and his a-ready smile,

they needed a man but I was a child.

 

I hope this song finds her wherever she is,

and if you see her would you tell her this,

for ramblin' and rovin' I don't give a damn,

the boy she left has grown into a man.

 

Farewell to the whiskey, tobacco and smoke,

Farewell to the rum and occasional coke,

Farewell to the girls who came ready to play,

For this is the end of my wandering ways.

 

There's lots to be said for being out on the tear,

as luck would have it, the very next year,

I met her again, she'd seen how I've grown,

now we still go a-ramblin' but we do it at home.

 

Come on you young ramblers, wherever you are,

beware of the ladies you meet at the bar,

the promise of pleasure can change your whole life,

you walk in with a wallet and walk out with a wife.

 

Farewell to the whiskey, tobacco and smoke,

Farewell to the rum and occasional coke,

Farewell to the girls who came ready to play,

For this is the end of my wandering ways.

 

Farewell to the whiskey, tobacco and smoke,

Farewell to the rum and occasional coke,

Farewell to the girls who came ready to play,

For this is the end of my wandering ways.

A "double concerto" for Trumpet and Oboe by a composer named Johann Wilhelm Hertel that I'd never heard of before. Music Choice does some weird stuff sometimes. Occasionally their placards say they are playing works that don't exist like Tchaikovsky's seventh symphony (he only wrote six plus the program piece the "Manfred Symphony").

I have to periodically remind myself to pay attention and not fall asleep. I'm warm, comfortable and not doing anything but listening.

 

...I think I might have a touch of narcolepsy. I once fell asleep at a family reunion for the same reasons.

Back in the Saddle by Aerosmith from their Greatest Hits disk. A song which, IMO, deserves to be the backdrop for a Deadlands campaign, in which situation it would take on a rather ... different ... meaning.
