So what? I still like it!

Yes, yes, yes. I know that the whole Star Trek slash thing is waaaaaayyyyy overdone and most of it is pretty poorly overdone at that.

And I know that there's nothing tireder than pulling about bunch of clips out of context and assigning some sort of subtext to them.

But, I still like this video.  It's a great song by a great band.  And, for what it is, it's very well put together.

In an Internet FILLED with Emmylou Harris Videos....

How can one (not so) young man possibly pick a favorite?

Simple....

Just choose the one where she buck dances!





I mean, seriously, is that not just the best thing, ever?  Even with the lamentable video quality.

Monday Rambles

Okay, I know it's Tuesday, but this is still a Monday Rambles.  I finally switched to the new Blogger interface the other day, and I'm still getting used to it.  So much still getting used to it in fact that I accidentally deleted my 95% complete Monday Rambles post and cannot get the damn thing back!  That's the price I pay for late adapting--I guess.  Either that, or Blogger just hates me.  Either one works for me.

Finally started feeling better last week.  I took a few days off and did nothing but rest and that seemed to help.  Now I'm trying to get caught up. 

Never, ever make sales predictions about your booth.  No sooner did I start thinking that this was shaping up to be a good month, and sales tanked everywhere.  Now I'm scrambling and hoping against hope I can still make my sales goals.  The really frustrating thing is that the tanking started around the time I finally got my booths straightened up and well-stocked.  I should have left well enough alone, I guess.  Who knows?  The only real predictable thing about this business is that nothing is predictable.

I hit the first sales of 2012 over the weekend.  Nothing spectacular.  One was a fundraiser at a local college that has been pretty good in the past, but this time around was just "Meh."  I did buy a couple of things, but nothing to write home (or blog) about.  The other sale over-sold itself on Craigslist and turned out to be nothing but over-priced junk.

I'm going to try and finish up some posts I've had in the works for a while and get them up this week.  We'll see what happens.

One thing that makes my heart go pitter pat...

...is songs about Emmylou Harris!  (Or rather songs that mention her.)  Especially when they are as wistful and tender as this one.  I love the vid!

Not a one man band, but a five person guitar!

Neat concept and quite well executed!  Enjoy!



The guy with the beard on the end looks a little bored throughout, but he does some nice harmonies.  The first time I played this, it startled me when the guy in the middle started to sing. What a voice!  Anyone else have the same reaction?  They all look so relieved in the end for it to be over!

Some of you aren't going to get this, but I think it's hilarious!

Not to mention that I think it's pretty awesome to be able to pull it off at all!

And then there was the time that Emmylou Harris sang a Stephen Foster song

This is the first Emmylou video of the year, and that's a perfect sentiment to start the year off with, I think. Maybe this will counteract the effects of the first Friday the 13th of the New Year!
