Apache - Jump On It

Jet Harris, the original bass player with The Shadows has passed away age 71

So in tribute here are four versions of the seminal Apache - all classics in their own way.
This is one tune that really can be called a classic...

The Original (1960)

The Bongotastic (1973)

The Discoliscious (1977)

 The Hippety Hopper (1981)

In Memory of Smiley Culture....

Who died yesterday of 'allegedly self inflicted stab wounds during a police drugs raid' on his home (mmmh!!)  One of the originators.

Soul Train - Swans Way

Posting the video from Soul Train reminded me of this 80's classic

Vincent

While at Disney in 1982, Burton made his first short, Vincent, a six minute black and white stop motion film based on a poem written by the filmmaker, and depicting a young boy who fantasizes that he is his (and Burton's) hero Vincent Price, with Price himself providing narration. 

Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread

"Who are these superhuman beings, glorious and terrible, who share God’s joy when sinners repent, and who wipe out a third of the earth’s population near the end of time...Who are these heavenly messengers, not bound by time or space as earthbound creatures...? Are they omnipresent?...Are they all-knowing?...They are the army of God, the militia of the Ancient of Days....One can understand that when an angel appeared unannounced to Zechariah in the temple, he didn’t respond, “You little cutie.” Instead, “he was startled and was gripped with fear” (Luke 1:12)."

reminded me of this...

The Wisdom of Kelly

E before O except before E-I-E-I-O.
Feed a cold, starve for pizza. Starve a pizza, eat cold feet.
He who laughs last laughs West.
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have seen 'Lost in Space' at all.
It turns, therefore I am.
Make new thoughts, but keep the old, one is silver, and the other is old.
Mom and Dad are my relatives, therefore I am.
There, but for the flippers, go I.
They will never buy the cow if they can get the eggs for free.
Those who can - do, those who can't - do not.
Use a condom, go to jail.
from Bundyology

We should never let folk wisdom die away in these urbanated times, once gone this wisdom will be lost forever ....

If your'e standing in a field of sheep and it starts to rain...watch out for wet sheep.
