With June only a few weeks away, Brides will be putting the finishing touches on their special days. But of course, none of it would be happening if it weren't for The Proposal. And Lightfoot's "Go   more...My Way" is a wonderful one. :)  less

The beautiful insects come in a rainbow of colors, eat those pesky mosquitos, can fly as fast as 36 miles per hour, and only spend a month or two of their lives as what we know as an adult dragonfly.   more...

Tribute to Linda Ronstadt - for Surfcottage.

Many people say they want to be a cyberspace friend. Some never contact you again. Others are generous with their ideas, time and talents. A precious few you are certain you have known for a lifetime   more...- even longer.

MyLady Lynn is a special cyberspace friend - I thought it the right time to share some of Mylady's channel with you to the sound track "Precious Friend" written by Arlo Guthrie and sung by Pete Seeger.
Thank you for being you MyLady - I viewed every image, every friend and every uploaded vistory as of October 24th - 2007 to get the images I needed to create this tribute to you. Your world, in a word, is Generous.
Thank you

Some of the "Greats" of all-time, and our time who have, and continue to "Make Em Laugh".

LVO2... second one.. AND.... LOVE TAG!!! Strong Hollow Production...Chris de Burgh

Miguel, to me, is Gordon Lightfoot's "El Paso" -- the sad story of a hard life, bad decision, untimely death and an everlasting love. It was difficult to find "period" pics for this   more...one, so I must thank Tj for coming to my rescue and providing some of them. That's what made this truly a "team" effort!
Miguel (Summer Side of Life) 4:12
Never had much to say
He traveled alone with no friends
Like a shadowy ghost
At dawn he came and he went
Through the woodland swiftly gliding
To the young maid he came riding
Where she'd run to meet him
By the garden wall
Oh my sweet Miguel
I will never tell
No one will ever know
What I know too well
And he'd smile and lay his head on her breast
And he'd say I have no fear
They're waiting for me to cross the border, to swim the river
‘Cause I've done that before
To see my true love's smiling face
A hundred times or more
Oh my sweet Miguel she cried
I'll love you ‘til I die
He was born to the south
In Mexico they say
The child of a man
Who was soon gone away
But his mother loved him dearly
And she would take him yearly
To the great cathedral in St. Augustine
Oh my young Miguel
Listen to the bell
Of my poverty
You must never tell
And he cried himself to sleep in the night
And he vowed to make things right
So he took the gun down from the wall and he paid a call
He knew she'd understand
A lawman came to capture him
The gun jumped in his hand
Oh Miguel the mother cried
You must run son or you'll die
So the story is told
Of his true love 'cross the line
As strong as the oak
And as sweet as the vine
And the child she bore him
Came on the fateful morning
When they sent him to his final rest
Oh my sweet Miguel
Listen to the bell
No one will ever know
What I know too well
Then she'd smile and lay the child on her breast
And she'd say I have no fear
I'm waiting for you to cross the border, to swim the river
'Cause you've done that before
To see your true love's smiling face
A hundred times or more
Oh my sweet Miguel she cried
I'll love you ‘til I die

"Chick Habit" by April March

Tagged by Hundamit, this is my opinion of LV "Drama". I choose not to tag anyone -- it's time to end the "Drama". ;)

Dreamland conjured images of a multiple marriage life. Who other than Elizabeth Taylor could guide us through the emotions of this song. This is another in the Gordon Lightfoot series, 46 of which can   more...be viewed at the Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Channel http://ca.youtube.com/user/thomasj157. More to come!
Dreamland (Endless Wire Album) 2:53
You come to me in times of need
When you can't find anyone
You seem to be much better off now
There's a rainbow number one
We could see life through the gutter then
Till it caused my heart to break
There was too much toil in dreamland
And too much love to take
Sometimes I remember when
We were all dressed up in style
I don't recall the gist of it all
But you drove the young men wild
You could wrap me around your finger
Till it caused my heart to break
There was too much toil in dreamland
And too much love to take
So if you need me near you
Y' can do it if you choose
There was too much toil in dreamland
And too much love to lose
Instrumental
You make me do what you want me to do
Then you run the rules on me
You seem to be the wiser now
Could it be you've been deceived
Anytime you felt like tryin'
You would cause my heart to break
There was too much toil in dreamland
And too much love to take
So if you need me near you now
You can do it if you choose
There was too much toil in dreamland
And too much love to lose  less

Old, abandoned, and uninhabited -- or are they?? Many of these "Ole" houses are reported to be haunted. Happy Halloween!

Something Very Special brought old Hollywood to my mind and who better to depict old Hollywood than Katharine Hepburn. With a career that spanned 73 years, she holds the record for the most Best Actress   more...Oscar wins having taken home the statue four times in 12 nominations. The American Film Institute ranked her as the greatest film star in the history of American cinema in 1999. Katharine Houghton Hepburn died of natural causes on June 19, 2003, at 96 years of age.
Something Very Special (Did She Mention My Name) 3:19
She was something very special to me
The kind of girl you'd like to see
In a movie or a rosary
She could be straight-laced or homespun
Or free and easy on the run
She could be meek and mild or full of fun
She liked country lanes and aeroplanes
And cigarettes would make her strange
And when she wanted you she made it plain
She would never say where she came from
It didn't seem that she had anyone
To answer to or dwell upon
She liked candlelight and good wine
And I would call her any time
Of day or night she didn't mind
The was nothing that I wouldn't do
To prove to her my love was true
And she gave to me a dream or two
There were times when she would never appear
For days and then she'd disappear
But now the days have turned to years
I was something she could use
Like a good friend or a pair of shoes
Or any kind of good news
Now the eastern sky is crimson and red
As I lie here in my lonely bed
And think about the things she said
She said darling there will come a day
When I must run far away
I will go my love and you must stay
She departed in the early spring
She didn't leave me anything
To follow or to find her
She was something very special to me
The kind of girl you'd like to see
In a movie or a rosary

Thank you for the Feature LV!! I am discovering and enjoying a treasure trove of beautiful, emotional, heart-wrenching songs as we get into the lesser-known creations from our consummate story teller,   more...Gordon Lightfoot. ~~ Lynn
On The High Seas (Dream Street Rose) 3:15
Was it someone she met that's so hard to forget
Was it some kind of an ocean of changes
I don't remember where she said she would be
And since I don't know, let me guess
Was it somewhere in Michigan or the Lake of the Woods
Up in old Montreal or Toronto the good
Somewhere in Reno or somewhere in Rome
And when all is said and done
Will she leave me alone
I don't want to get so low
And as for my sadness, it comes and it goes
I don't remember where she said she would be
Back in the city or on the high seas
Was it up in Hornepayne where the trains run on time
Was she drinking champagne when she made up her mind
North of the border or down in South Bend
And when all is said and done
Is there no rainbow's end
I don't want to own the key
To some ghostly mansion where souls are set free
I don't remember where she said she would go
Straight for the highway or down the low road
I don't remember where she said she would be
Back in the city or on the high seas
