ANDY ~ First let me thank you for showcasing the UNIQUE PATSY CLINE born 1932 ~ died 1963 aged just 30 (Plane Crash). A unique voice and her recording of Willy Nelson\'s CRAZY is one of the greatest recordings by any female Country Music Star. The pathos in her voice always makes me CRY !
I understand your poem ~ You are not against AA ~ GA ~ CA etc because these habits do ruin Society as a whole and many many individuals ! I support PROLIFE which is Anti-Abortion and Christians Against which is Anti-Dept ! But I deplore POETS ANONYMOUS who would seek to cure POETS of their MUSE ~ we would all die of deprivation. However I would support and GROUP that was ANTI-MODERN POETRY ~ Amen Thanks for caring & Sharing BRIAN & ANGELA

Andy,

The only thing that harms is the self serving malicious critic with unconstructive criticism who thinks that their s*** doesnā€™t stink!

Write on my MPS friend...
youā€™re one of the best!

Well, I\'m a \'watchdog\', not anonymous, if any \'naughty\' people don\'t tick poems as 18+, if they should be! Got a terrible loud bark, and might bite too! Down, Rover! Woof!

Some folks just do not understand the need for writing. While others just can\'t stop. You my friend keep feeding your addiction of words. I love to read them!

It certainly is for you. Don\'t ever stop writing because you are a bar of writing gold. Keep hols of your treasure and take care of those people who you write about. A touching piece.

Hearing The Lone Ranger.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks for your Poem ANDY and the quote which triggered it ! I am familiar with Rossini\'s |~ William Tell Overture but I was born 25 years after the last Lone Ranger Film was made. Consequently for me (being under the age of 40) the tune is a piece of Popular Classical Music and it does NOT invoke the Lone Ranger ~ Silver & Tonto ~ BUT it will now ! Despite what Dan Rather says (which triggered ~ or was that Roy Rogers ~ your Poem) I am NOT an Intellectual Snob ~ just someone under 40 ! Please check our Collaboration Poem On \"Rest ...............!\" ~ Yours Brian & Angela.

Andy,

When I was a little girl and watched ā€œThe Lone Rangerā€ with my dad, what I loved the most was the theme music...at the beginning and at the end! I wasnā€™t aware then that it was Rossiniā€™s ā€œWilliam Tell Overtureā€...I discovered it later on! One of my favorites!
It is one of his best known works! After that one, he did more cooking than music! I call him ā€œThe Galloping Gourmetā€!
Thank you for the memories!

~Laura~

P.S.- my mom still watches all the reruns of ā€œBonanzaā€ along with ā€œMr. Edā€ and ā€œRin Tin Tinā€!

dusk arising said:

Kimmo sabbe! My dad used to tell a wonderful story about the young man who played \'the storm\' in an effort to conceal the realease of his flatulence from the young lady he had just taken home. On his third \'need\' to play this piece his lady friend asked if this time would he mind missing out the passage where the lightning strikes the sh+t house! I\'m no intellectual snob but it\'s that story which comes to my mind.

I screamed with laughter - Forget William Tell - love Dan Rather..... and Tonto! My all time favorite is Roy Rogers and Happy Trails though.....

orchidee said:

I\'m no expert on classical music, but the build-up in this reflects the temperament of (some at least) Italians, as Rossini whips it up - not forced, but a thrilling sound!
Did we ride horses like this in 1066?

dusk arising said:

Whilst visiting my son many moons ago i met my ex mum-in-law who conversed exactly as you describe today. For me two days of this was truly frustrating. Your love and faith is so strong yet you are only human. Your faith tells you you are created in God\'s image therefore any failings you may feel you succumb to cannot be an evil.
I wish for you strength to persevere, yet be gentle with your soul.

It\'s the letting go that\'s hard isn\'t it Andy.... and the feeling guilty if you do. It\'s such a hard process...... I\'m glad you have friends and family to talk to. There\'s nothing wrong with wanting to live.... she\'s going where things don\'t hurt her.

No TV - outside right now! Those were the words I was brought up with............ sunny day - out! Plus an occasional spanking which I always knew I deserved and which hurt them more than me.........love the music!

Ultimate Chastisement.
Michael Edwards said:

Sad reflection on the way (some) parents bring up their children these days. One of my grandchildren has just spent a few days with us and not once did he look at an electronic device except to look the name of a song he\'d been singing with his Dad - we had a great time and he didn\'t want to leave - he\'s 6 by the way.

One of the first things the EU did to us was to remove the right of a parent to chastise their child. Did that improve our society?
I like it when you get political. Unlike politicians Goldfinch, you use common sense.

I shan\'t tire if u play more sinatra. I have high regard for his singing and learned so much from him. Limited range and amazing phrasing.
Great piece today G. A fine tribute to those brave ladies piloting all sorts of aircraft without ammunition in wartime.

Great write. I\'ve never flew in a plane as of yet. Guess that makes me behind many. Enjoyed the flight!
