I Love Folk Music

I really have always loved music and my family had a pretty good collection of acoustic (singer -songwriter)records. I always toward people who could play music and sing. I remember visiting the beach where a hurricane ,Bertha was expected and singing an ensemble version of the Grateful Dead's,"Bertha"{ don't you come around here anymore} It didn't😁

Anyway The British group The Magic Numbers don't make purely folk music but have been compared to The Loving Spoonful and The Mama and The Papas,because they are made up of a pair of brothers and sisters.
But they're quite comfortable doing unplugged performances

@bookerdana Yeah, I know I put myself here. Politics literally drives me crazy. It takes a while for me to post anything now and I can't message anyone.

@Oberon1 It drives everyone mad and at the end of the day nothing is revealed or changed,at least you can comment...just avoid cussing overly much and everything is jake

@bookerdana I made a few predictions that could easily be interpreted as veiled threats, and my insults were pretty harsh. I am enraged and grieved by what I am seeing, and the emotions are always intense; whether dormant or active.

@Oberon1 I still have the ol',I'm a barbarian and I approved this message avatar,should you need it!!!
I didn't see the comments but the whole nation is divided ,even by such an issue as whether to wear a mask in a pandemic..but they did that in 1918..just hang fire for a bit. I always thought the EP self restraint worked well,but a lot has changed

@nedkelly Well, I let my anger get the best of me. You're a good man, Ned.

@bookerdana I see my country being tortured, raped, and slowly murdered. I am too patriotic for my own good, but my inflammatory rhetoric is a better option than some other activity.

@Oberon1 Yeah no kidnapping Governors! I think to state the obvious there are two camps and we better recognize the other..we actually have a mutual antagonist the large international corporations that thrive no matter what happens

@bookerdana Social ideological polarization is a hot bed for opportunists who will exploit it.
I am simply an angry and distraught patriot, and there are millions upon millions just like me.
bookerdana · M
@Oberon1 And there an equal number of patriots on the other side,myself included..I only want what is best for thee land that took in my Grandparents.The U.S. is still a mighty power in the world ,with a lot more resources. Other nations are able to address these issues in a somewhat civil manner

@bookerdana I see the "other side" hell bent on poverty, social decay, crime, addiction, and homelessness, oppression under state control, loss of autonomy, moral bankruptcy, and eventual ruin and complete submission to China, if not nuclear war.
It's epically tragic.

@Oberon1 It ill serves anyone to keep going back and forth as infinitum as individual conclusions may vary..and since this somewhat fortuitously is the I LOVE FOLK music group this is how I've felt the last few years

I don't know a soul who's not been battered
Don't have a friend who feels at ease
Don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to its knees.
But it's all right, all right,
We've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on,
I wonder what went wrong,
I can't help it
I wonder what went wrong.
And I dreamed I was flying.
I dreamed my soul rose unexpectedly,
And looking back down on me,
Smiled reassuringly,
And I dreamed I was dying.
And far above, my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty,
Drifting away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying.
We come on a ship we call the Mayflower,
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come at the age's most uncertain hour
And sing the American tune
But it's all right, its all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest,
That's all, I'm trying to get some rest.Paul Simon

@bookerdana I apologize, but I can't PM anyone, so I will stop littering your post. I love folk music too. Some people even call me a folk musician! 😉
bookerdana · M
@Oberon1 WELL duh,cause you are a folk musician!Feel free to litter my posts such as they are anytime till PM is restored..you still @ the same e mail?
I hope you're up and melting us snowflakes real soon!
Oberon1 · 61-69, M
@bookerdana I just have to maintain civility, and skillfully intellectualize my insults. Perfect the art of derisive rhetoric through sesquipedalianism, and etymological camouflage.
bookerdana · M
@Oberon1 🤣 Make it extra obscure and...FOCUS! still have the old e mail?
