Nice guitar and the lyrics remind me of some of the things I have heard people say to me at the end of their lives.

Topic: Long As Your Happy (4 replies, posted in Poems)
Unfortunately when I play piano or guitar it is all done by feel. I would put this in as a song if I had the know how.. I have tried to make it work as a song but my bad piano playing and singing get in the way. I put it up on soundcloud in the hope oneday someone might have a go at making it into better song.

Long As Your Happy
I can remember seeing the rain on the window pane
One summer many years ago.
Were waiting to go out.
You all dressed up nice in your best dress.
You couldn't wait to get out.
Next thing I noticed you had gone outside the door.
Your running in the yard completly wet.
Your best dress was a mess as youd fallen in the mud.
And your hair was a bit of a mess.
Your mother was unhappy.
Why did you let her go out.
All I could say was this.
As long as she's happy.
As long as your happy.
I couldn't care less.
I couldn't care less about that dress.
When I saw you smiling at me.
As long as your happy.
As long as your happy I couldn't care less.
I wouldn't worry if your hair was in a mess.
All I worry about is your beautiful smile.
And I wouldn't worry to much about the mess
As long as your happy.
As your happy.
As long as your happy
I don't give a damn about the mess.

Saturday morning just waiting for the rain to clear and my mind to clear also, so that I can figure out some better way of doing a song I have writen.
When I thought about this clip I had seen on youtube which I think is a brilliant look at songwriting.

I have the greatest respect and admiration for Chris Thile as a musician but I think him trying to host a show to the same level that Garrison Keillor has achieved would be imposible for anyone. A Prairie Home Companion was a show I loved when Garrison was doing it , once Chris took over it didn't work the same for me. I haven't seen the film of the show but it is now on my list of films to watch eventually.

There is well-documented evidence to the use of teeth for identification began during 66 AD with Agrippina and Lollia Pauline case. Agrippina after her marriage with Claudius, emperor of Rome, Agrippina tries to secure her position. She feared about rich divorcee Lollia Paulina may still be a rival for her husband. She decided that it would be safer if Lollia Paulina was dead. She instructed her soldier to kill Lollia Paulina and further instructed to bring the head back. She was satisfied by Lollia Paulina death by the identification of dental alignments and certain distinctive characteristics. It was the first use of dental identification where there is a record.
The first forensic identification in India started in 1193 were Jai Chand, a great Indian monarchy was destroyed by Muhammad's army and Jai Chand, Raja of Kanauji was murdered and he was identified by his false teeth.
Peter Halket was killed in 1758 during French and Indian wars in a battle near Fort Duquesne. Halket son identified his father's skeleton by an artificial tooth.
At the battle for Breed's Hill in Boston, Dr. Joseph Waren was killed in the year 1776. His face was not able to identify as he suffered from a fatal head wound. A dentist, Paul Revere, identified Dr.Warren, dead body by a small denture that he had fabricated for him. The identification made by Paul Revere made it possible to burry Dr. Warren on April 8th, 1776 with a full military honour.
Breed's Hill is a glacial drumlin located in the Charlestown section of Boston, Massachusetts. It is best known as the location where in 1775, early in the American Revolutionary War, most of the fighting in the Battle of Bunker Hill took place.

CG I guess going to dentist in George Washingtons days was a bit of a risky venture . I have read Paul Revere best known for his midnight ride to alert the colonial militia in April 1775 to the approach of British forces before the battles of Lexington and Concord, dabbled in dentistry. He was a Silversmith but when times were hard to help make ends meet he took up dentistry, a skill set he was taught by a practicing surgeon who lodged at a friend's house. How much training Paul got I wonder. Imagine doing that, thinking times are tough I will get a friend to teach me dentistry and I will have a go at fixing some teeth for those who can afford my services. Paul Revere's friend and compatriot Joseph Warren was killed in the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. Because soldiers killed in battle were often buried in mass graves without ceremony, Warren's grave was unmarked. On March 21, 1776, several days after the British army left Boston, Revere, Warren's brothers, and a few friends went to the battlefield and found a grave containing two bodies. After being buried for nine months, Warren's face was unrecognizable, but Revere was able to identify Warren's body because he had placed a false tooth in Warren's mouth, and recognized the wire he had used for fastening it. Warren was given a proper funeral and reburied in a marked grave
