RANDOM NPR POST
just an odd little post. go to beginning! ok. i guess in 1993 or so, i was back at art school getting my degrees and i was taking 'Poetry in the blues'. i love old blues. heh. started i guess with robert johnson. so, i had some money and was at the downtown The Exclusive Company. in front of the blues section. no idea about anybody in front of me and i had gotten one or 2 other Yazoo CDs. which one this time and i got it down to 2. and finaly took the Mississipp sheiks. ooh lucky me. great CD. is keeping me not thinking so much about keith. except that Blood in my eyes for you.
well, i did get a good grade, mainly because my end essay on the blues.
i have been playing it a lot lately and last week, or longer ago, it popped up on NPR. 1st one all thinhs considered. about how one song has been changed by the people doing it. i had re-read the liner notes and he 1st played a song by al jolson-sitting on top of the world. BUT BUT BUT that isn't the sheiks version. then he played the sheiks. and THEIR version is the one that was picked up by all the artists and changed.
then while at aunties,was listening to that music show out of New Orleans. and they played em.
o hope they get even more play.
and please baby was redone by the notting hillbillies. another great sheiks tune.
i suppose i am recommending them. listening to them right now.

ES-part 2 OOPS, i thought i posted this. but now it comes with pic. from the 'time capsule' sale.
went to attic. guy went downstairs with 2 big grey air-raid horns. more fans. ooh, very nice 1870's dressing table/comode? no mirror. keep going forward. piles and piles of blegh. near the front was a room. the parents bedroom? only big one. nothing there for me. nice fans tho.
back to first floor. in the 'kitchen' grabbed a large metal catholic pin that had the globe on it. hmm. st christ...., at checkout took better look at it. i have to have farmer post a pic. i think the 30's or 20's st. christopher. patron saint of travel. has a old old plane(think lindburg), a car, a train, and a ocean liner. oh, also took a old wood carved lions head glued on an old piece of a crate or something. the other side has part of a label or poster. found some photos in the front 'cell'. but that was it. paid too much. but it was better than a movie.
what i got was these were a poor catholic(children are not a burden. not at all)family. although i did see spats and many many many 78 album sets. they didn't start poor. maybe at 5 it went downhill. oh, i didn't mention the unpainted oak woodwork! ionic columns in the archway! and oh so deco light fixtures in the dining and livingroom. maybe they just had poor taste? or not shoppers. money to the church.
i wonder if i shall dream of current jam.

RANDOM ESTATE SALE FIND - the time capsule
i have no idea of the date really, but if you can tell, the plane looks pre-WW2, so i am going with the late 20's or so. and the car. and the train. and sea travel was bigger then. i don't think it's silver. i rarely find that in the catholic bits i find. not that i am insulting them(um, they do seem to adore linoleum!). maybe it's german silver. or plate. i will have to study it harder.
not gonna post any more pics from there. do not really show anything spectacular. i didn't get a good pic of the high deco light fixtures that were in the dinningroom and livingroom. hoping next week has some sales. i am going into withdrawl!
