Early ,'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Ha! Now I'm curious which song it was.
I don't remember. I'll have to ask my brother, because I would bet folding money that my mom doesn't know either.
I walked down the aisle to Trumpet Voluntary which was the same song that Princess Diana walked down the aisle to.
Go on. Be surprised.
Awww, I've been to a lot of weddings that use Trumpet Voluntary, and I think it's really pretty!
I love it very much. It was gorgeous cause we were outside, in the late afternoon, in the summer, with wildflowers and such around us....
This may sound like a stupid question, but -- did a trumpet actually play it? Because I've been to weddings that use Trumpet Voluntary, but on an organ. Which isn't quite as grand as it ought to be.
Yes, but not a live trumpet. It was a recording.
Trumpets aren't alive, Aims, no matter what Em tells you.
Have you never been to Wonderland, young man?
Tep, I think it's great that your mom went for The Pogues.
In good news for a change, I finally got up the guts to call Amoeba Hollywood and see if the CD I'd consigned on Sept 17 had sold. It had. "Oh, this is strange. We ordered two more from CDBaby. We don't usually order from CDBaby." So while I'd rather they had called me and consigned more directly from me, someone at Amoeba felt strongly enough to want to seek out distribution for my album. Which is great.
That is great. I assume you followed up with more for them, right?
And thank you, Windsparrow. I definitely am dealing with the fallout from the suicide prevention seminar, but I think it was a great opportuinty, and I expect it to be powerful tool, yes, in my work. We run a small nonprofit that is a traveling music school. We go to places on the Navajo and Apache reservations and teach music to the kids, using music as a way to live out a little love to them. We work with a lot of marginalized youth from a marginalized culture, so suicide is a high risk. This past six weeks or so there were five suicides in one local town, three in another. In a neighboring county a couple of months ago, there were 38 attempts; 17 youth, and a total of 17 completed. So it`s a huge, urgent problem and I`m grateful to have had the training available, although I am extremely wearied by it. The SO is doing a good job of looking after me, though. So I`ll be all right, but will just take some time to process.
I went to a wedding where the couple's first dance was to Fairytale of New York, though not the Pogues version, but the assembled guests all sang along loudly. Which may have been the point.
That may be our first dance (the Pogues version) but it's kind of hard to dance to!
We're going up the aisle to a Tom Waits song "Never Let Go." It was one of the first things I decided about my wedding. I still have to work all the timing out on it.
You're such a great person, Liese.
