To the toes that crushed the grapes
Upon that first day
To those that tasted juice upon ferment
To wine in all its – thank you, fuck, it’s Friday –
To those toes, and Aldis, bless you,
Heaven sent
To the toes that crushed the grapes
Upon that first day
To those that tasted juice upon ferment
To wine in all its – thank you, fuck, it’s Friday –
To those toes, and Aldis, bless you,
Heaven sent
Feet up, coffee, cig,
Anticipate dinner, wine, sighs,
Thankfeckit’sFriday

…….might even be my first……
So, by way of partial apology for not even looking at, let alone reading, other blogs in the last couple of days, I offer you this.
I’ve had the week from…..well, not hell, but not an easy one. We all get them. Life, I think they call it.
So I’m chilling. And loving it. A little bit of writing. Not fit for posting yet. A few haufs.
Nothing in my stomach all day, by the way, which isn’t good news for my stomach or tomorrow’s hangover. But appetite has gone somewhere. And I can’t find it.
Anyway, this guy I’m posting I’m proud to call Scottish. A guitarist, composer, singer, dreamer. He takes me back to my youth when I adored Dire Straits. ‘Sultans of Swing’ was my anthem for so long.
I find it hard to select which of his songs on this particular cd I favour most. I pretty much love them all.
But, if forced, I select this one.
Sung with James Taylor. Another hero. This song actually made me research the Mason Dixon Line. Because I didn’t know what it was. I even bought a book on their story.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Because the only thing I am doing tonight is listening to music. Having a hauf. And I might try to persuade my stomach to eat something. Anyone got any chocolate?
Btw, this is the B side of what I bought the cd for. And it’s my favourite side. Just goes to show…..we don’t always know our own taste.
My sixteen year old has just taught me how to insert a video. So easy. And I’ve been like a headless chicken about it for so long. Kids, eh? Wee shits. They kid you on they know nothing that matters. And then they come up trumps.
Anyway, I’m garbling. That would be the 3rd whiskey having its effect. Enjoy. I’m not listening to this ‘cos I’m starting the cd from the beginning again. And going with the flow. Happy weekend everyone.
