Buffy Sainte-Marie, I'm Gonna be a Country Girl Again
Buffy seems to have got herself into a heap o' trouble making like Elizabeth 'Fauxcahontas' Warren. No time to weigh in on this tonight, but the combox is open. She had me fooled, high cheek bones and all, but I've loved her music since the far-off and fabulous '60s, and always will.
Hoyt Axton, Greenback Dollar
Nanci Griffith, Boots of Spanish Leather
16 Horsepower, Wayfaring Stranger
Stanley Bros., Rank Strangers
Bob Dylan, I am a Lonesome Hobo. Have you heard this version?
Bob Dylan, As I Went Out One Morning
Highwaymen, The City of New Orleans
Kenny Rogers, The Gambler
Buffy Sainte-Marie, Cod'ine
Bob Dylan, Only a Hobo, 1963
Highwaymen, Ghost Riders in the Sky
As the riders loped on by him
He heard one call his name
'If you wanna save your soul
From hell a-riding on our range
Then, cowboy change your ways today
Or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies.'
OK Brother Bill, if you are going to post Ghost Riders in the Sky, you have to include the Baja Marimba Band’s version, complete with yells. Enjoy !

I look forward to hearing more about the Pretendian. Was your remark here in any way related to a recent email of mine?
That’s nice, Joe. Los locos Vaqueros!
But I prefer something a bit more edgy. Check out the Spiderbait version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AvSKuNpfr0
This one goes out to Mike Valle.
>>Was your remark here in any way related to a recent email of mine?<< It was indeed, Oz, and I thank you for that e-mail. I was hoping you would jump in here and tell the story with links, etc. I mentioned your man Ockham a little below in the post pile; comments?
Thanks Bill. I am a bit under the weather with a really bad cold. Perhaps early next week.
Happy advent! Here is the Bach-Busoni arrangement of “Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV 659”. The German translates the Latin “Veni redemptor gentium” (Come, Redeemer of the nations), a Latin Advent hymn by Ambrose of Milan.

Joe,
Word came from Jean H that Sally S died on December 1st. I was going to call her. Too late, she’s gone. In memoriam: https://youtu.be/v7om-hZgVbs
Sally, quintessentially of the ’60s, its virtues and it excesses, would have liked this tribute.
Dear Sally knows the truth of it all now. God bless her and may she rest in peace, great peace.

Thanks, Oz, for the Bach. “Without music, life would be a mistake.” (Nietzsche)
That is our hope, Joe, that at death the curtain does not fall, but rises.
