flatbaroque Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Smart set of lyrics in this one...I like the chorus "Ain't no money in poetry, That's what sets the poet free, I've had all the freedom I can stand" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i80OUhmxkZo&feature=youtu.be Australia day here today - Jan 26.(like our 4th of July I guess. So throw some snags on the barbie and sink a few cold pigs ears!
AnneS Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 That's a fine job there, sir. Enjoyed it. Clark suits you nicely.
duluthdan Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Like this ! Rainbow Pie... wonder what that is.
kwalker201 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I enjoyed that very much. I like when you add your harmonica in those songs FB
MissouriPicker Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Good, good rendition. Clark has a "way with words" and you do this song justice. I agree with others. I find your songs easy-to-listen-to and your guitar technique reminds me of myself (not meant as a criticism...lol..)....BTW, from what I remember from my grandfather, cold dog soup is just a bowl of water. Rainbow pie (I think) is an analogy for not having a lot to eat. Rainbow stew used to be what hobos called a stew made from whatever was edible and had lots of color to it. Rainbow stew also means having a huge selection of colors in food. It's tough to beat a Guy Clark song that's performed well. Good stuff, FB.
blindboygrunt Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 The harmonica made the dog howl. :D Love that song , great version FB. As usual like
Mickthemiller Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks for reaching half way round the world with great song, well performed. Love the harp.
philfish Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 What a cover,I always enjoyed this song. Guy seems to talk the verses, really like yours. Flat have a listen to a John Prine song Late John Garfield Blues I'd like to hear you sing and play it
flatbaroque Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks everyone! Cheers Larry on those very plausible explanations of some of the lyrics.Yea and I understand what you mean about similar playing styles..a bit "loose"..bit of a strum, bit of a pick - all in the one song, as long as it sounds ok. Phil, yea I know that JP song..full of great imagery.
MorrisrownSal Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 FB i need your harp skill. I have trouble. Enjoyable as always!
Avery Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Now that was really special, man. I'm a big fan of your voice. I think I said this before, kind of reminds me of David Gray. And surprisingly I did hear about Australia day, just because I was reading an article about Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Matthew Dellavedova, an Aussie, and they kind of had some special festivities during the basketball game.
j45nick Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 " Australia day here today - Jan 26.(like our 4th of July I guess. So throw some snags on the barbie and sink a few cold pigs ears!" Translation from Fair Dinkum to American English: "throw some dogs on the grill and crack a couple of cold ones."
flatbaroque Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Sal,my harp playing is strictly suck it and see..not much skill...but sounds ok. Avery cheers mate.Basketball isn't big over here but I think I've heard of the guy you mentioned - so he must be doing well. Nick, your linguistic skills are beyond reproach! "pig's ears" would puzzle many Australians...outside my uncouth circle .
Fullmental Alpinist Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Q. Why is it better to play the harmonica instead of the banjo? A. Because when you play the harmonica you only suck on half of the notes. Nice work FB. You didn't seem to suck at all. FMA
j45nick Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Nick, your linguistic skills are beyond reproach! "pig's ears" would puzzle many Australians...outside my uncouth circle . I've worked with Australians (for better or worse) for the last 30 years. Spent a lot of time there as well. It's a wonder I still speak English.
BluesKing777 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Geez, the dogs are getting a pounding - cold dog soup and dogs on the grill...... I liked it - very Waits-y, but the Hound didn't! He didn't appreciate the finer points of the Clark lyrics, and he never wants to live in the Shire or wherever you dog grillers live.... stayin' here: BluesKing777.

I bet the Hound is the terror of that dog beach. He looks like the territorial type to me. He's clearly got an attitude.
BluesKing777 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I bet the Hound is the terror of that dog beach. He looks like the territorial type to me. He's clearly got an attitude. Nope, he would rather be there than pretty well anywhere else, especially watching me work on the computer! He may almost skip dinner to go there...nah, not quite. As we pull up in the car, he makes this weird breer..breer...breer...breer..quiet howling sound ("Let me out!!!), and we have to leave the lead on him or he won't come home! Sorry to derail your thread, FB! Whatcha think of my new boat? BluesKing777.

But now you are going to have to buy some carbon fibre guitars for marine enviroment!..It never ends BluesKing777.
BluesKing777 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Good idea! We were buying a new guitar every time the previous one got wet, a real nuisance. Hard to get them delivered too.... No cold dog soup here, as we pull over to let the dog meet his little friends at the dog beach. BluesKing777.
