The First Album
Gid Tanner & The Skillitt Lickers
Perry and the Pickers is that a great name for a band or
what. I would pay to go see a band with a name like that, I might even rescind
my number one rule about seeing bands play in fields if Perry and the Pickers
were playing in a field of mud near here.
That band ain't around now but lets ramble on with a cut from their first album, side one.
Black Cap Chickadees
For several years we have had a bird feeder fastened to the
side of the shed. Lately the squirrel wouldn’t even bother to get in it. I had
some spare parts, and another bird feeder that I stocked with black oil
sunflower seeds. I now have black caped Chickadees flying in and out like tiny hungry
missiles…
At The Feeder
Friends say that once you start feeding Chickadees you have
to do it FOREVER. Well you got some seed for now bird, but nothing
lasts forever…
Another of my favorite tracks from that first album also on
side one is…
Don’t make me flip you off
One of the worst things aboot breaking up with your ride is
when you hook up with your new ride, she never has a voice. She might have
three headlights but she don't have a voice.
Riding
home this afternoon in the sunshine, Terry Gross’s program Fresh Air is
interviewing Nate Silver
This is not only a great
interview but I can hear every sound because this bikes audio system is connected to headphones in
my hemit.
Nate Silver is sharp, then I see it, a flipping mini van racing down
the on ramp.
There is me in the left lane, a school bus in the right. This
driver never even sees me. I’m grabbing front and rear breaks so I wont be killed. Making space to let this A hole in the spot I was
in.
Swiftly gathering my composure I split the lane between them and the bus,
pulling along side I flipped them off. I stayed along side them flipping them
off. They had a look of total surprise like what is wrong with that biker? Why
is she flipping us off? At the traffic light they went by in the left turn lane
giving me a look, so I split the lane again, came up next to them and started to put
the kick stand down. I was just going to splain that they almost just killed
me. They didn’t stick around, running
the red light to get away, from this alive biker.
The last track on side one is one of my favorites.
There is no limit to
what ignorance can do.
I didn’t watch the big
debate between the man with a name like a cat and the president with dark skin,
because I would rather go to the eye doctor than have to watch that.
I did go to the eye
doctor yesterday and luckily it was
cloudy.
But Lucy splan to me
how the smiling man with a name like a cat can preach “Well sure tax cuts for
the rich hasn’t worked out so good for the last 30 years or so but once I’m in
charge its going to work great”
Are amerikans ignorant
and racist enough to fall for that crap again?
Next time side two
