This week’s song is “I Found The Lilly In My Valley” by Quinton Mills. This was one of Pa’s favorites that he sang all the time. Unfortunately I do not have on online copy of him singing it, but this will work.
Okay, so my song for this week is “O Fortuna”, which we have all heard a million times. It is a great piece, and one of my favorites in all of classical music.
The video is a bit…different.
The creator took three different remixes of O Fortuna, and made this epic Akira video with them.
So you get Akira. +10
O Fortuna +10
Crazy Aphex Twin remix of O Fortuna +10
This adds +30 to your dork quotient, if you watch this video, and get either giddy, or teary-eyed.
Spring is starting to get going well finally, and I am itching for a weekend at the old lake house. I have to get at least one in this month. April is shaping up to be to dang busy to get out there, so it is now or never.
There are bass to be caught, sandies to be caught and eaten, and maybe even some old channel cats looking to take a trip in the fryer!
Soon, hopefully soon. I want to be floating along the shore, casting and winding, and waiting for that tug on my line.
Here is another of my favorite country songs. It is real country, not like all that new fangled crap.
“Old Habits” - Hank Williams Jr.
This is really, one of my very favorite songs. It does what country music should do, move you emotionally. The thought of losing my wife, in any way, is horrifying to me, and Hank has captured that emotion in this song.
