We Wannabe Surfing
We discovered this floating in our ODDpool. Twas dropped into waters upstream by RioGrandeMud yesterday.
“Fair spring evening, in the Garden of stone
Walked my fair daughter and I all alone.
We walked and I played, that grace so amazing
Two tenors, a base and chanter ablazing.
The grass wet and dark green, the sky give to night.
Steping amoung those who dared and gave fight.
Graves fresh and long gone, all generations.
A small prayer for peace, is my veneration.”
We are ODDly slow this morning - leftovers from a long march we took yesterday no doubt. You will find Dale Velzy in our list today - the Endless Summer man arrives just after the so-called start of the summer season. Apparently Dale was not the best of businessmen, but his creations were legendary. We also have Chicagoan Oscar Brown, Jr who was well respected around his home town for his music and stage work and well-known in Broadway circles too.
You might check the International Surfing Museum site for a bit of history. And Wikipedia has this to say about surfing in general.
We ODDfellows have had our hearts broken twice in the last 24 hours. First dear Paris plans to marry herself. Or did we read that wrong? Paris squared? Paris by the dozen? A Paris Push-me Pull-you? (Sorry Dr. Doolittle). And the other heart break? Equally harsh. Seems the Royalty of British music has decreed that the Spice Girls music does not fit with the seriousness of the Live 8 political message about poverty. Music from Sir Paul, U2, Sting, Outkast, Destiny’s Child, Linkin Park and others apparently is fit for poverty. The girls we read were “gutted” by the decision as they had hoped to make a bit of a comeback. Sigh.
Girl Power isn’t what it used to be.
