I answered him back with a tear in my eye How many dark ships in the forest" ....or multiple trad. variations thereof. I used to think the origins of these lines were lost in metaphor and mythology until I saw this odd (but not deliberately surrealist) film by Werner Herzog, "Aguirre: The Wrath of God", which contains a scene of a boat in a tree. |

A link with the word 'naval' was the clue that she meant the nave - the roof being like the hull of an upturned ship. The branches of trees in a dark forest could give a similar effect. |

17 Apr 05 - 12:24 PM (#1463593) Subject: RE: Surrealist folk From: Severn Surrealist Folk-Southern Style "On our Turpentine Farm", originally done on 78 by Pigmeat Pete & Catjuice Charlie and later revived by the NLC Ramblers, gets kind of bizzarre! Imagine The Katzenjammer Kids raised in the American South with a whole slew of animals and some turpentine to experiment with. It'd make a helluva great animated cartoon and would make the PETA folks foam at the mouth. The Ramblers also revived Red Henderson & Emmet Bankson's "Automobile Trip through Alabama", which one friend of mine once described as "Folksong as written by Captain Beefheart" Both can be found on "The New Lost City Ramblers- Vol.2 1963-1973" on Smithsonian Folkways |
