Well... I gotta say that I read the 'Oh joy, oh joy it's snowing post before
this one and I thought 'seems I liked this Madgardner character in the past, but how can I take anyone *this* happy about snow?' Seems I'm about sick of snow. But... then I read this: "madgardener listening to John Gorka". Anyone who's listening to Gorka is OK by me G What CD were you listening too? Have you ever seen him live? We've got all except the last CD and have seen him maybe 7 or 8 times!!!! Do you have Temporary Road? If not, go to his website at http://www.johngorka.com/ where he's put it up (the CD in it's entirety) for download for free!!!!! How many artists are doing *that* right now? Anyhowz... seeinz how you appear to be living on a farm, here's a Gorka tune for just this season... enjoy! "Winter Cows" The cows in the moo yard are making their plans For the long winter nights and the cold winter hands Some out in the fields are covered with snow The black ones turn white and the white ones don't show Big lamps in the sunset, between bovine dreams Their icicled udders are waiting for spring And up from the road comes the sound of the wheel Just an old ice cream wagon, they say "I know how you feel" Some dream of India, where their cousins are stars But they don't like the crowds, so they stay where they are And some dream of Florida, of roaming the beach With metal detectors for gold they can reach Well, what can you do? It's the ice or the flies The temperature slowing, the tails going by It's a dairy existence, and I must conclude... Cold milk in a bottle still beats frozen foods GGGGG ralph -- Post or lose an 'n' to reply... "madgard" wrote in message ... arghhh more snow. but I have to admit, this one is going to be a beauty.

If it lasts any longer, it turns into the stuff you clean out of the gutter behind cows. John |

I gotta say that I read the 'Oh joy, oh joy it's snowing post before this one and I thought 'seems I liked this Madgardner character in the past, but how can I take anyone *this* happy about snow? yes, I am *this* happy about snow. It's poor man's mulch, moisture that is gentle, and keeps the little plants slumbering. And it makes the insects uncomfortable! When I lived in Denver's suburb, Aurora (I called it the "Armpit", I loved the feet of snow because it was a different kind. It was a "dry" snow.....and you got used to wearing the proper clothes, going about your day, driving in it, etc. Here in the hills of Eastern Tennessee, they're really not used to it much, but FINALLY we're getting some people living down here that's lived where snow was regularly a part of winter and deal with it. Like you do. They actually have learned to salt the roads with a liquid BEFORE the snow's come. Makes things a bit easier if you have to go into town.G 'Seems I'm about sick of snow. But... then I read this: "madgardener listening to John Gorka". Anyone who's listening to Gorka is OK by me G thank you Ralph. I love his voice and his sense of humor tucked into his music. He also has kick ass back up (Lucy Kaplanski, etc) and he's a great song writer. Loved his song about his then new son, "he looks like an angel when he sleeps, but he looks like Charles Bronson when he cries" that was sweet! I could SEE it!! I LOVE Michael Mannring's bass licks. I got to see him solo years ago in Knoxville and he blew me out of the water. I am still hunting for his cd (Mannring's) that's one incredible musician. That John uses him in all his albums speaks volumn's. (I also like David Wilcox and Chuck Broadski...two more good songwriter/singers) For an old broad, I like younger stuff, although John's last cd had MY song on it about getting old.....LOL What CD were you listening too? The one simply titled "Gorka" which came out on Red House in 1998. Have you ever seen him live? No, sadly I haven't. The closest he's come is in North Carolina (WNCW has concert information all the time, apparently North Cackalacky is popping with where it's at for musicians to perform) how I wish the idiots in Knoxville were more open to this jandrae (sp??) of music. I like all kinds. That's why I listen to Spindale. (that's where the station broadcasts from) and had it not been for me moving here, and finding this station, I'd never even had HEARD of JOhn Gorka! And alot of others that were out there, like Greg Brown, Patty Larkin, Dar Williams, Bill Miller, Richard Shindale, etc... We've got all except the last CD and have seen him maybe 7 or 8 times!!!! I have them all, I've made sure of that. I hear he's coming out with another one soon I get updates from Red House records on my e-mail. So is Greg Brown and a few others. Makes my times of low money a bit more intolerable as I love music as much as I love gardening and plants and all that it embraces..............I'd LOVE to see him!! Do you have Temporary Road? yes indeedy. I discovered an early one at my favorite cd source and that completed the collection until the newest release. Would you like a copy of this last and most recent one? I could burn it and send it your way if you're interested........ let me know. If not, go to his website at http://www.johngorka.com/ where he's put it up (the CD in it's entirety) for download for free!!!!! How many artists are doing*that* right now? not many, but the ones who appreciate that it's US that keeps them going are considerate like that. If you like diversified music, go to your Brower and type in WNCW.org and give the station a listen...........well worth a checking out. I support them as a listener because they're an NPR station, but beyond comparison to any station you've heard recently. They are unique. Anyhowz... seeinz how you appear to be living on a farm, here's a Gorka tune for just this season... enjoy! I live surrounded by pastures and other people's farms.........my front neighbor I speak of on occaison, Miz Mary is retired as a communications secretary at University of Tennessee in Knoxville and her brother in law is an owner/operator semi driver and he has those cows I speak of so fondly for their pies. The idiot across the shared driveway is a non-working whatever he is, living on what used to be a farm but is now in total shambles and over growth. All around me are little subdivisions where the older families children has split up the acreage and tucked in the hollers and hillsides are people who own either horses or cows. My land is tucked in an area that was rezoned agricultural. (the people here around me also grow a tobacco allotment each year for income) I myself am just a city girl who has found a little spot of wonder here in the hills and hollers of Eastern Tennessee G and that was on "I Know"...... I like the little remark he made in the album I was listening to, "now that I've moved to MInnesota, I had to remove the lyrics about whinning about the cold out, peer pressure" I say put them back in, John I wanna hear them! G "Winter Cows" The cows in the moo yard are making their plans For the long winter nights and the cold winter hands Some out in the fields are covered with snow The black ones turn white and the white ones don't show Big lamps in the sunset, between bovine dreams Their icicled udders are waiting for spring And up from the road comes the sound of the wheel Just an old ice cream wagon, they say "I know how you feel" Some dream of India, where their cousins are stars But they don't like the crowds, so they stay where they are And some dream of Florida, of roaming the beach With metal detectors for gold they can reach Well, what can you do?

I don't know, I wish I could be a teacher and stay home when the weather is
bad. How bout driving on ice, your car coated with white salt from following the snow plow, wondering if the ditch will become your friend I could win the lottery if only I played.

How bout driving on ice, your car coated with white salt from following the snow plow, wondering if the ditch will become your friend I could win the lottery if only I played. Carlotta Be careful what you wish for, Carlotta. I used to be a teacher in a school in northern MN in which school for students could be cancelled, but the teachers had to report or be docked. Fortunately I lived a couple of blocks from school, which meant many knee deep walks to school for me, but many fellow teachers weren't so fortunate. Interestingly enough we had a winter accompanied by a blizzard every weekend for five weeks. By the end of the worst part of the snow season, we had an accumulation in excess of 10'. That same winter included temperatures in which the high for the day was a -10. I have never cleaned so much snow from my driveway before or since and never want to! John |
