thanks for that james. iam becoming more and more of a cash fan thaI thought I would have done.
Cant listen to him much in the house when my wife is in as she doesnt like his stuff ( in fact, she doesnt like much msic i like apart from the trad. stuff)
Anyway, funny thing about this thread is, I was ging to start a thread about Johnny Cash, but I tihnk I will just have my wee say here about a song of his.
the song is called " Ragged old flag"
I am not one for loving americans for their patrionism as I think lots take it a bit too far, as do some scottish, so I am not just disliking americans here for taking patrioism (is that a word?) too far. I myself hate myself sometimes for the way I go on about scotland, na!!, i never hate myself. Hate is too strong a word to use here, so, hmmmmm, pain in the bums is what I will use instead of "hate"
Aye, so?????? where was I going wit hthis?
oh yeah, this song " ragged old flag" is surely one of the best ( not thee best though) for a patriotic song. I dont even mind it is about the American flag
if ye have never heard thi song and yer american Ican guarantee ye, ye will love it.
If yer not american I still thnk you will like it a lot for the words in it. It is more of a poem than a song. Like a poem with some soft music through it, not county or country and western sounding at all.
there,
jus thought I would share that wit hye all
( and for any lovely american folk that think I am doing a bit of american bashing, Iwasnt,or not fully, but with me being half american I think I would have the right to half bash them ,lol, joking!!!!)
Ken
ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending
