One like we heard last month, Eric.

Do you plan on having another show like the one back in January?

As in the Campbell Scott reading or the Slideshow?  The slideshow was fun and very emotional, wasn't it.  I don't think I've recovered from the carpel tunnel from that one yet.  :laugh:

The slideshow, Eric. You and Milli both did a brilliant job with it!  :D

And I do realize it took a lot of work! Thanks for doing it for us.  :)

OK, I will throw in another song!

Ricky Lee Jones - The Horses

We will fly
Way up high
Where the cold wind blows
Or in the sun
Laughing having fun
With the people that she knows
And if the situation
Should keep us separated
You know the world won't fall apart
And you will free the beautiful bird
That's caught inside your heart
Can't you hear her ?
Oh she cries so loud
Casts her wild note
Over water and cloud
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
We'll be riding on the horses, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up

You will grow
And until you go
I'll be right there by your side
And even then
Whisper the wind
And she will carry up your ride
I hear all the people of the world
In one bird's lonely cry
See them trying every way they know how
To make their spirit fly
Can't you see him ?
He's down on the ground
He has a broken wing
Looking all around

That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
You go riding on the horses, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
Can't you hear her ?
Oh she cries so loud
Casts her wild note
Over water and cloud
I'll pick you up darlin' if you fall
Don't worry 'bout a thing little girl
Because I was young myself not so long ago
And when I was young
When I was young
And when I was young, oh I was a wild, wild one.

That song "The Horses" was recorded in the 70's here by an ausralian group called "Sherbet"......its on limewire if you are interested....and it has got great words.
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

Yeah, it does have great words and yes, I will look it up on Limewire, thanks!

I love this:

I have refrained from sharing this one song in this particular thread, as the sentiments conveyed are distinctly heterosexual, and in that sense do not bring Jack and Ennis to mind. But this Thin Lizzy classic (from their 1976 LP Jailbreak) is about the myth and the romance of the cowboy, which is what Ennis and Jack always wanted to be, and what they saw in each other, and from this angle I think this wonderful song is quite apt here. The lyrics alone don't adequately convey the robust, bittersweet beauty of this work, which is one of my very favorite songs in the rock canon, and is my single favorite Thin Lizzy song. So here it is, from 1976, Thin Lizzy's 'Cowboy Song':

I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
A starry night, a campfire light
The coyote call, the howling winds wail
So I ride out to the old sundown

I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
Lord, I’m just thinking about a certain female
The nights we spent together riding on the range
Looking back it seems so strange

Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Running free with the buffalo

I was took in Texas--I did not know her name
Lord, all these Southern girls, they seem the same
Down below the border in a town in Mexico
I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo

Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Riding in the rodeo

Roll me over and set me free
The cowboy’s life is the life for me
