Finally got a chance to use my computer - my so called roommate has been playing pogo games on it. Haven't been doing anything artistic for a while, lost my job been fighting to keep my apartment, being used to death by someone who couldn't care less about me and the bills are piling up.

Sorry state, but this place always cheered me up and I'm trying to remain positive and "I still live!".  

  My cat is doing well but she's been grounded for a couple days as when I let her out she ran off.

 

Put the cat to work while grounded

 

Happy to see that you "still live"

Sorry things aren't exactly going your way right now..hang in there, as they say...of course "they" probably don't know what they're talking about. :biggrin:

And in my final hours - I would cling rather to the tattooed hand of kindness - than the unblemished hand of hate...

I as well had a useless roommate/tenant in my joint but they're gone now and I can barely cover expenses so I sympathize...looks like I'll have to start playing in bars again....hard to do for a non practicing alcoholic but I'm not tempted by booze, just disgusted by the antics of the customers so I may well be a beer seller again...sigh...good luck finding gainful employment BM.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck with everyones job situation and roomates suck.  I have never had a good room mate experience.

Free men do not ask permission to bear arms!!

Murphy's safe.

I agree with AnnieD.  Put the cat to work while grounded.

"Take my true love by the hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye Charlie Brown "

um..er..bikermouse..you there???

I'm here . My last post quotes the old Lee Hayes song's second verse (the alternative version) with one liberty I replaced Sally with Charlie.    

and I was I think quoting Woodie Guthrie.. ...

ah phew.. those lines.."Say goodbye to everyone" sorta got me worried.....

There are two versions one is simply about moving to California where he hopes it'll be better and the other is a bit more morbid.  Mouse not morbid.

Woody Gutherie: Yeah that was my first thought too but I looked it up because I wasn't sure. http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/t/timesaregettinghardboys.shtml Well perhaps the website has it wrong. The internet is full of bad documentation.   

Ever since I attributed "... I'd walk ten miles barefoot on a frosty morning just to stand ..." to Susan Polis Schultz rather than to Richard Bradigan I tend to look stuff like that up but even so I don't always get it right.

 

Well I was assuming BM...as I learned it from the Cisco Houston Songbook which I lost shortly after learning most of the tunes in 1968, and he was mates with Woodie, I just assumed wrong I guess...trad sounds more correct but I wonder about Lee Hays being the original author no matter what the net says..LOL...but that's just cynical old me speaking.. ...he was more a recorder of other folks tunes than a composer if memory serves.. ...

As a side note it is owned by Folkways Music Publishers Inc. which point even pointier to it being an anon song as that's what they published in large part.. ...

and from a youtube

This song (chorus only) was in Carl Sandburg's book "American Songbag" (1927)
Lee Hays (of the Weavers) wrote the verses.

Yeah, from other sites it looks like Lee Hayes just arranged the song and it was what's called a "traditional".  The author (of the lyrics?) appears to be unknown.
