I've already decided what I'm having for dinner--coconut crusted tilapia.
Sirens don't offer that ff. It doesn't sound all that dangerous to passing mariners. I feel sure that mariners could take coconut crusted tilapia in their stride.

Holi was wonderful. I wish more of you had come along to dance and drum and eat. It was a terrific celebration. I'm a little tired and windburned now.
Celebrating spring by dancing outside when it's 3 celsius is challenging. Fun, but challenging.

Whence comes "never on Sunday" then Andrei?
Aha, a song cue...
We have that one on the Juke Box, Wassau, don't we?
Thank you for sharing that, firefly. But I'm begining to worry about Spendi, off in that curmudgeon chair over there, He seems to have started taking me, of all people, seriously. What's up with that?

This was one of the Weavers Billboard hits--with a very young Pete Seeger on the banjo.
People were much more well mannered then.

And not only that but he took an axe to the electric cable at Newport when Dylan was playing Maggie's Farm on full bore.
Poor sound quality was the reason Pete Seeger (backstage) gave for disliking the performance: he says he told the audio technicians, "Get that distortion out of his voice ... It's terrible. If I had an axe, I'd chop the microphone cable right now."[9] Seeger has also said, however, that he only wanted to cut the cables because he wanted the audience to hear Dylan's lyrics properly, because he thought they were important.[9] Rumors that Seeger actually had an axe, or that a festival board member pulled or wanted to pull out the entire electrical wiring system[7] are apocryphal. In the film No Direction Home, John Cohen of the New Lost City Ramblers, who is Pete Seeger's brother-in-law, states that Seeger wanted to lower the volume of the band because the noise was upsetting his elderly father Charlie, who wore a hearing aid.[10] In the same film, Dylan claimed that Seeger's unenthusiastic response to his set was like a "dagger in his heart" and made him "want to go out and get drunk".[11]

This is all very internecine.. the conversation, I mean.
As it happens, in preparation for figuring out how to get my turntable to work again so I can find out if my albums died in transit and storage (dys said maybe not), I dragged them out of the laundry room where I stuffed the container and typed up the titles. Interesting, interesting, at least to me, lots of memories that aren't in order since the albums are just there, perhaps as last played within categories. Among other things, the list shows what I kept for whatever reason, and it shows in my brain what isn't there, what I gave away, mostly to bro-in-law. Some, of course, I gave away before I ever heard of husband, much less the bro-in-law. Sigh: Belafonte.
Then there's the cache of albums that are unfamiliar since I never got around to playing them - before I left LA, I bought some classical stuff from a thrift shop on Venice Blvd.. but when I arrived in northern California, and set up the system, such as it was, sort of like tinker toys, I played my own loved stuff.
Speaking of music, axes and internecine...
Some of you know my employee, Andy, from the annual A2K NFL Pick-um thread. He, along with Spendius, has played that game in past years.
Today came word that Andy's band has been invited back to the semi-annual Goth Festival in Whitby, Yorkshire UK in November.
He says that the town is beautiful and the shows are tremendous fun.
There will be a couple tickets held for you at the gate, Spendi, courtesy of Andy.
Don't be offended, this is the coffee shop, nothing wrong with you sipping your coffee or any one of the boys and calling one of the girls a Siren....................
You might have told the denizens here (I'm off clientele--it's too posh), Johnnie, that I won back-to-back Pick-um titles in the first two years I tried, beating 20-odd Yanks.
And that when I tried to introduce a much-needed reform to the rules I was shouted down for shouting down's sake.
Give Andy my regards and thanks for the invite but unfortunately I am engaged with other distractions well into 2014.
