I would like to thank Le Chromosphere of Bhang Bhang Duc for not banjecting me up to this point.

Which part of Texas?

Unexpected this is.

Lots of Bauxite, and plenty of electrical power, needed for Aluminum...

Edit: first photo received. Looks good.

Something to really be thankful for on this Thursday!

The Yes Album including the song "All Good People" was released February 19, 1971. 50 years later, Perseverance lands on Mars.

It sounds better on the original vinyl.

"Starship Trooper" - Yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNCjQ1SulDI

Sister bluebird flying high above
Shine your wings forward to the sun
Hide the myst'ries of life on your way
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
What you don't know, I have never heard

Starship trooper, go sailing on by
Catch my soul, catch the very light
Hide the moment from my eager eye
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul
What you can't see, can't be very whole

Speak to me of summer
Long winters longer than time can remember
The setting up of other roads
To travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water
The proud sons and daughter
That knew the knowledge of the land
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

Mother life, hold firmly on to me
Catch my knowledge higher than the day
Lose as much as only you can show
Though you've seen me, please don't say a word
What I don't know, I have never shared

Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever
All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the facts there shown before you
Take what I say in a different way and it's easy to say that this is all confusion
As I see a new day in me, I can also show it you and you may follow

Speak to me of summer
Long winters longer than time can remember
The setting up of other roads
To travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water
The proud sons and daughter
That knew the knowledge of the land
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

Curse you Red Baron, I had planned to open with that song. 😀

Have to think of something else now.

*chuckles* One of my favorite books as a child was about WWI Flying Aces. The inspiration for Westwind Flying Circus. That and Snoopy.

"Snoopy vs. The Red Baron" - The Royal Guardsmen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icsHJhMeXYo

Achtung! Jetzt wir singen zusammen die Geschichte
Uber dem schweinkomischen Hund und dem lieben Red Baron!

After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the screamin' sound of a big war bird

Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany

In the nick of time, a hero arose
A funny-looking dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down -
"Curses, foiled again!"

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany

Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
He challenged the German to a real dogfight
While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight

That bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany

Well, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany

Why would I do that? You are the sort of guest we like - you interact with the region while following our rules. You're not spammy or anything like that.

Dionne Warwick - Walk on By

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO073fekFfA

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry

Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
That's all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye

Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye

Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Now you really gotta walk on by (don't stop)
Baby never even see the tears I cry (don't stop)
Now you really gotta walk on by (don't stop)

Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qrOvBuWJ-c

Oh

Oh, yeah

Ziggy played guitar
Jamming good with Weird and Gilly
And the Spiders from Mars
He played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man
Then we were Ziggy's band

Ziggy really sang
Screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan
He could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'em to hang
They came on so loaded, man
Well-hung and snow-white tan

So where were the spiders
While the fly tried to break our bones?
With just the beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands?
Oh

Mm-hmm

Ziggy played for time
Jiving us that we were voodoo
The kids were just crass
He was the nazz
With God-given ass
He took it all too far
But, boy, could he play guitar

Making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind, ah
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man
I had to break up the band
Oh, yeah

Ooh

Ziggy played guitar

David Bowie - Life on Mars?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AZKcl4-tcuo

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen

But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns

But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Donald Vails, Margaret Douroux - Give Me A Clean Heart

Give me a clean heart
so I may serve thee.
Lord, fix my heart so that I
may be used by thee.
For I'm not worthy
of all those blessings.
Give me a clean heart,
and I'll follow thee.

Funky Nassau - The Beginning of The End
https://youtube/p4OEIaXSAsk

Nassau's gone funky
Nassau's gone soul
We've got a doggone beat now
We gonna call our very own

Nassau rock and nassau roll
Nassau's got a whole lotta soul

Huh
Feel alright

Mini skirt
Maxi skirts
And afro-headed dudes
People doin' their own thing
They don't care 'bout me or you

Nassau's gone funky
Nassau's gone soul
And we've got a doggone beat now
We gonna take care of business too

Listen to the drummer, lay down his beat
Listen to the bass man play that same groovy beat
Attend the guitars if that sounds so tuned
L'organ aussi!
Et les horns, oui, oui
Hors

Funky nassau
Nassau funky
Alors, puis-je jouer s'il vous plait

New york you know
Has got a lot of soul
And London town
Is too doggone cold, too cold, hey
Nassau's got sunshine
And this you all know
But we all go funky
We got some soul

Trompette! encore une fois!

Funky nassau, funky nassau
Funky nassau, funky nassau
Funky nassau, funky nassau
Funky nassau, funky nassau

We lived for a while in Fort Bend County, just outside Houston. Strange politics there, we had Ron Paul as our congressman, but just across the county line, Harris County had Sheila Jackson-Lee. Hopefully, you had a gas cooktop, so you could still boil water and cook.

Song for today:

Sukiyaki
By Kyu Sakamoto

Let us walk towards the top
上を向いて歩こう

Don't spill tears
涙がこぼれないように

Spring day to remember
思い出す 春の日

Alone night
一人ぽっちの夜
Let us walk towards the top
上を向いて歩こう

Count the bleeding stars
にじんだ星をかぞえて

Summer day to remember
思い出す 夏の日

Alone night
一人ぽっちの夜
Happiness is above the clouds
幸せは 雲の上に

Happiness is on the sky
幸せは 空の上に

Let us walk towards the top
上を向いて歩こう

Don't spill tears
涙がこぼれないように

Walk while crying
泣きながら 歩く

Alone night
一人ぽっちの夜
Autumn day to remember
思い出す 秋の日

Alone night
一人ぽっちの夜

Sadness is behind the stars
悲しみは星のかげに

Sadness is behind the moon
悲しみは月のかげに

Let us walk towards the top
上を向いて歩こう

Don't spill tears
涙がこぼれないように

Walk while crying
泣きながら 歩く

Alone night
一人ぽっちの夜

Alone night
一人ぽっちの夜

Cold Day In Hell - Gary Moore

So many times you tried to take the best of me.
So many times, now you're gonna take the rest of me.
Better look at what you're doing before it's too late.
It's a fine line you're treadin' between love and hate.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

So many times you tried to play a dead end game.
Yes, you did.
I tried to tell you, but you'd never wanna take the blame.
Now you've pushed me to the limit, and I can't take no more.
You'd better take one last look before I'm out the door.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

You never listened when I told you
that you were way out of line.
Too busy talkin' to listen,
accusing me of telling lies.

So many times you tried to get the best of me.
Yes, you did.
So many times, but now you're gonna take the rest of me.
Well, it's too late for sorry and it's too late for tears.
Better take one last look before I disappear.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.
Yeah!

Hawkwind - Silver Machine

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IfniG-AdSC4

I, I just took a ride
In a silver machine
And I'm still feeling mean

Do you want to ride?
See yourself going by
The other side of the sky
I got a silver machine

It flies
Sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign

I've got a silver machine
I've got a silver machine
I've got a silver machine
I've got a silver machine

It flies
Out of a dream
It's antiseptically clean
You're gonna know where I've been

Do you want to ride?
See yourself going by
The other side of the sky
I'm in a silver machine

I said just took a ride
In a silver machine
And I'm still feeling mean

It flies
Sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign

I've got a silver machine...

Jethro Tull - Living In the Past
https://youtu.be/YmPwYhHX_jY

Happy and I'm smiling
Walk a mile to drink your water
You know I'd love to love you
And above you there's no other
We'll go walking out
While others shout of war's disaster
Oh, we won't give in
Let's go living in the past
Once I used to join in
Every boy and girl was my friend
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
What they're fighting
Let us close our eyes
Outside their lives go on much faster
Oh, we won't give in
We'll keep living in the past
Oh, we won't give in
Let's go living in the past
Oh no, no we won't give in
Let's go living in the past

Don't Speak - No Doubt
https://youtu.be/TR3Vdo5etCQ

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying... are we?

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining

Don't speak
don't speak
don't speak

Oh, la la la la la la
La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh
Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me cause it hurts

For What It's Worth (2021 Stereo Remix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTHh8UxVhJY

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
