Mens Retirement Cakes

It 's not an error, the tune just so'.

I resigned. I love American music, country, folk. Massi 'also bluegrass, but I prefer songs that do not exceed the first two or three decades of 900. Guitar and vocals. Nude. Crude. When in 2 minutes, with only six metal strings and two vocal cords had to sing everything in life you can not stand: the encounter with two eyes that you enter the soul, your heart explodes for a smile, that does not soothe the pain for a start, your shadow reflected in the eyes of the lady who does not forgive, the whistle of the train, to see the good and evil, the presence hidden in the fog, forgiveness, the embrace with a friend found, the mystery of a child.

It 's not a new discovery, I know a long time. I have long wanted to see the casket of the Anthology of American Folk Music and consumed The Unbroken Circle. Magnets also find routes from the age old entries', I imagine embrace a guitar or a banjo on the porch in some land in Kansas. (Which, among other things, makes me 'forgive a little bit of the old Bob's voice).
And I love whoever takes the essence: as when Dylan sings This Old Man, Give My Love To Rose made by J. Cash, Frankie made by Beth Orton and Henry Lee by Nick Cave, The Band, ...

Friday 'last I enjoyed prepare a short CD for my daughter because at school, to learn the dozens, were planning a hunting nuggets and were dressed as cowboys.
The CD contains seven songs finished and I could clearly rifarne 100 with all other combinations ..
Choice is not easy in one evening, and having to mix what 'I love with music that could appeal to first-graders - leaving, alas, my mood more' triste' - by choosing from songs that had already 'had how to make her and tell her (which gives me enormous satisfaction) and between what I had on the fly in one evening.

tracklist are available and in any event and 'the following:
1. Keep On The Sunny Side (The Whites, O Brother Where Art Thou )
Wonderful glimpse of depression 20 years, made it big in the film.
2. Red River Valley (from Mickey's Top 40 Tunes
:-) Gran classicissimo. Amo questa canzone anche perche' mi fu cantata da un carissimo amico americano la sera che dovevo ripartire per l'Italia. Dopo qualche giro di birra e un po' di vodka, eravamo un po' alticci per l'emozione e con la chitarra in mano abbiamo ripetuto quanto fatto qualche mese prima la notte della nascita di sua figlia, e abbiamo cantato canzoni straccia-cuore fin quasi all'alba (da Napoli al Colorado). Nonostante i vapori dell'alcool ho la fotografia nitida di quella sala come fosse ieri.
3. Diamond Joe (B.Dylan, Masked & Anonymous )
Non so neanche cosa dica, ma so che mi si e' aperto il cuore quando mia figlia in macchina ha esclamato "papa' mi rimetti quella bellissima canzone Joe's Dylan? "
4. I Saw The Light (H. Williams)
When he sings" I Saw the llight " (with two or three 'l') feels that they do not know 'how to put everything in the heart of what 'he sings.
5. I Find Jesus (The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Will the Circle Be Unroken III)
Great song, funny and different to give different shades' of this kind of music .
6. Mama's Opry (IrisDeMent with NGDB, idem vol III )
That 'wonderful. It has an ambience fabulous. A tale of dust, of course, as they dance on wooden planks. Praise Mom confesses to his eyes shining with sognare di cantare un giorno alla Grand Ole Opry (stardome del country), mentre la figlia si rendera' conto che la vera Opry era in casa loro mentre cantavano davanti alla radio o stendendo i panni.
7. Pay Me My Money Down (B.Springsteen, The Seeger Sessions )
Chiaro che Springsteen non c'entra niente con questo post.. ma The Seeger Sessions e' un gran disco ed uno dei pochi dischi di springsteen che riascolto in continuazione. Finale forte, e poi i miei figli adorano soprattutto questa canzone e la sanno tutta.

Poi la volta che ho sentito Red River Shore... ma di quello ho gia' scritto.
