“Classic” Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks
June 12th, 2009 by drs
This is the Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks I’ve been listening to since I was a kid. The music ALWAYS boosts my mood and I can never stop my toes from tapping!
Anyway, I just ran across this video on YouTube and I thought I’d share some of my favorite music.
From the YouTube notes:
Dan Hicks and the “classic” lineup of his Hot Licks – Sid Page (violin), John Girton (guitar), Jaime Leopold (bass) and Lickettes Maryann Price and Naomi Eisenberg! – performing “By Hook or by Crook” and “Shorty Falls in Love” – identified here as “Another Night”. I would venture that this is perhaps a rehearsal for the Flip Wilson show of 9/28/1972 – of which there is a video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWZ8wj… – because the backdrop is the same. There is also “strange”, misplaced laughter and applause, which might indicate that something else was going on at the same time.
America The Beautiful – Ray Charles
December 27th, 2008 by drs
America the Beautiful
O beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.
O beautiful, for pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev’ry flaw;
Confirm thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law!
O beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
‘Til all success be nobleness, and ev’ry gain divine!
O beautiful, for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!
