Love like you've never been hurt.... Dance like nobody's watching..... And **** like you're being filmed!" Sounds like a code for living! |

I'm all for that. As for me, I never tried to make a lot of money or become well known. I was a whopping success.:-) Jerry |

25 Jun 02 - 05:48 PM (#736855) Subject: RE: BS: Code for living From: Roger in Baltimore You all oughta like this song. Come from the Heart Susanna Clark and Richard Leigh
When I was a young man, my Daddy told me,
CHO:
Here is the one thing I keep forgettin', Can be found on Guy Clark's (Susanna's husband) CD "Old Friends". Also a hit for Kathy Mattea on her "Willow in the Wind" CD. Guy swears that Susanna and Richard went off to write a song together and came back 30 minutes later with this one. Roger in Baltimore |

25 Jun 02 - 06:11 PM (#736880) Subject: RE: BS: Code for living From: Clinton Hammond It's also covered all to hell and back by Garnet Rogers on "At A High Window"... His GREAT version of this song is worth the price of the CD by far! ;-) |

26 Jun 02 - 12:09 AM (#737088) Subject: RE: BS: Code for living From: MudWeasel That, and most of the rest of the album! I keep "At a High Window", "Night Drive", and "Sparrow's Wing" on heavy rotation at the bookstore where I work, and it's amazing how many people ask me what's playing and where they can get a copy. I sadly have to tell them that US record stores don't have enough good taste to carry anything by Garnet Rogers. -MW |

26 Jun 02 - 08:59 AM (#737288) Subject: RE: BS: Code for living From: C-flat Thanks Rodger and Clinton, I'll certainly look out for the song. It's a nicer sentiment than my original post! |

28 Jun 02 - 06:42 AM (#738775) Subject: RE: BS: Code for living From: Blues=Life I was a philosophy grad student, and worked long and hard on rules to live by that would stand up to extreme philosophical scrutiny. I ended up with three maxims that have stood the test of time. "Never pour live beer on dead beer." (It makes the fresh beer go flat instantly, so get a fresh glass.) "Always make friends with the cook." (Even if everyone else hates your guts, you'll eat well.) Every other rule to living I tried to make an absolute, I ended up having to apply my "Rule 2". This came about when I was fencing, which rewards quickness, speed, agility, and which tends to favor small fast people over big fast people for those reasons. (I'm 6'4") I was fencing a small fast guy, who thought he was pretty good. I asked him if he knew the two rules of fencing. When he replied negatively, I recited them, while continuing to cross blades with him. "The first rule of fencing is that small people are faster than big people." "OK,"he said,"what's rule two?" I then nailed him smack dab in the middle of his chest, and replied, "Rule Two? There's always an exception to Rule One." So that has become my third maxim. Whenever someone comes up with an absolute rule of life, in the back of my head, my little voice says, "Remember Rule Two." Peace, Blues |
