Re: Watcha listening to?
"Wind and Rain" by Gillian Welch
From the Songcatcher Soundtrack
There were two sisters of county Clare,
Oh, the wind and rain
One was dark and the other was fair,
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain
And they both had a love of the miller's son,
Oh, the wind and rain
But he was fond of the fairer one,
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain
So she pushed her into the river to drown
oh, the wind and rain
and watched her as she floated down
oh, the dreadful wind and rain
and she floated till she came to the millers pond
oh, the wind and the rain
dead on the water like a golden swan
oh, the dreadful wind and rain
as she came to rest on the riverside
oh, the wind and the rain
and her bones were washed by the rolling tide
oh, the dreadful wind and rain
and along the road came a fiddler fair
oh, the wind and rain
and found her bones just a lying there, cried
oh, the dreadful wind and rain
so he made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone
oh, the wind and the rain
he a made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone, crying
oh, the dreadful wind and rain
and he strung his fiddle bow with her long yeller hair
oh, the wind and the rain
he strung his fiddle bow with her long yeller hair, cried
oh, the dreadful wind and rain
and he made a fiddle fiddle of her breast bone
oh, the wind and rain
he made a fiddle fiddle of her breast bone, cried
oh, the dreadful wind and rain
but the only tune that the fiddle could play was
oh, the wind and rain
the only tune that the fiddle would play was
oh, the dreadful wind and rain"Don't ever miss a good opportunity to shut up." - Harvey Davis "Gramps"

Listening to Theatre of Hate on Spotify. Current song, "Americans," soon to be followed by "Poppies."Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom.

I'm watching (and therefore listening to) the documentary American Mystic, which follows a Feri practitioner, a Native American (I think Lakota), and a member of the Spiritualist Church on Netflix. Its pretty interesting.Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible

... Do you know Songcatcher?!
I thought I was only one of two people to even see that movie!
Unless you haven't, and just know that song, in which case move along, nothing to see here....
This sounds like a bizarre version of the song "Two Sisters" I know from Tom Waits. I sang that to both my kids when they were babies.

And, in regard to the similarity to the Tom Waits version, give this a read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twa_Sisters"Don't ever miss a good opportunity to shut up." - Harvey Davis "Gramps"
