it's suddenly about talking to Dennis.
It was "about" Dennis Hammes from the first, the rep of these poetry

and voice an opinion on.

Hey, Will. I'm certainly not reading threads like this, nowadays;
I don't blame you - Hammes and his racist supporters have turned it into just another "Bash Will Dockery" smearfest, anyhow... so I'm adding your name to the subject in case you stop by, and perhaps make it easier to find in the rapidly approaching 1000 post mark.
though I come on to look for poems to read from time to time. Still
reading off line, of course; I nabbed a copy of Atwood's Selected
Poems last week, and am slowly making my way through it.
I found a great paperback of the collected poems of WB Yeats yesterday, for two bucks, and am learning a lot from that... plus getting heavily into the song-poems of Donovan on the car CD player, having found five of his albums for just over ten bucks over the past couple of weeks.
Interesting how things converge, though. Since Boxing Day I've been
reading and writing on the Ron Paul campaign. If you've been following
that, you'll know that the race card's been played against him.
Here in the USA, the media pretty much never mentions him at all, everything's Clinton-Obama vs. McCain-Huckabee, on the television, anyhow.
Some pals of mine are still behind Paul, though, notably trumpet player Riley Yeilding, and "Zorro" collaborator Jocelyn (second video)...
It's a
fascinating story, with all kinds of twists and turns, and I've fallen
I'll go have a look at that, since this is the most interesting election year in a long while... I see from your Google profile the other groups you're posting in, these days, so may pop in on some of that, as well.
I take it that 'Gerard' is OB - I remember when I was last here, you
were looking for his real name. Funny, I thought it was "Archibald
Cakesniffe." (that's what I remember reading on his blog 8)
The blog where he claimed his /real name/ was plastered all over it, right... heh.
Now he claims to not be Gerard Ian Lewis... wonder why he'd want to smear poor Lewis like this, then ?!?
Forgive me if I don't weigh in on the issue; I don't want to take the
time to read the 500 posts in the backthread, let alone the time to
get involved in the thread myself.
Yes, even more difficult to follow since I know you use Google groups to read this stuff.
But I wanted to let y'all know I'm still around, just one mention of
my name away.
Glad to know.
I wondered if you were okay, since Eileen has been including your email in on some of our music plans, which include the long-awaited "Lucky Penny" project, she does a pretty "Can I get lucky, can I get lucky, can I get lucky with you?" as I do a deadpan Leonard Cohen over the main lyrics, while Gene Woolfolk rinky-tinks a "Honey Pie" style piano... I /will/ make the prediction that the finished single will be pretty notable!

Poor baby. Do you need a group hug?
How can having the opinion that Will Drunkerty is a slovenly, drunken, ignorant, talentless hack be racist?

I found one of the earliest discussions on the "Lucky Penny" collaboration, all of it almost completely not applicable to the current situation, but worth a look, and there's some Dennis M. Hammes in his prime, here, as an additional bonus:
And just moving this from the other thread to here, a more appropriate place, with more thoughts to probably follow:
Intelligent and good for how it says that Lucky and Dan Quayle were
borne of the same cloth.- Hide quoted text -
Explain please.
Working on that, but sending this on, as-is, with more intended to follow... time permitting, or response prompting.
Hello, Jimmy (Great to see you here, and no, I haven't forgotten our
song collaboration, Life & all that keeps getting me lured away from
the internet... I'm game for it, but I need to also apologize
toGeorgeDance, who is still waiting for me to finish my collaboration
with him, "Lucky Penny"/"Country Woman", from now onto a year or
two...
No biggie. I realized there'd be some holdups. The big one has been
getting one of your music partners to get inspired by it, of course,
when they're too busy working on their own tunes.
Depends on how the piece is presented to them, and the levels that the piece is working on, and many things like that, and many things not like that. Real life, the actual working processes, and what jump-kick the new songs in the first place. Not to mention the fact that in many, most, some or all of the various collaborations and partnerships, there are completely (with some crossovers in various instrumental capacities such as bass, drum, & more icing-on-the-cake elements such as flute & vocals) different creators involved, with different agendas & goals, and the only element that is a constant on "Will Dockery" works is... "Will Dockery".
The quote that applies, and comes up more often than I would sometimes expect, is:
"Which side are you on?"
"Mine."
"Situations arise, in spite of the weather." -Lou Reed
I finally have the hook, whateverr-it-is, to get that done,George.
That is what I have, and concepts to get it done. Now I need time, and energy, and the proper players on the board while the tapes are rolling, to nail it.
And one or two things, which we'll get to directly, I think... see below, or next post. I'm hoping to have time for some Archive-diving, or if you have time, assemble some of the past posts, that's where I'm heading, to get a feel for just how many thoughts I had that might still be valid. Over 2 years time some are definitely in the past, some might be rekindled, and sometimes friends are over-rated.
If that makes any sense, which it does from my side of the fence. But I have some super-strong coffee a wealthy young lady gave me last night, along with the new Cat Stevens album (recorded under his new name, which I can't spell properly without peeking, or don't want to try, or to look right now) as Thanksgiving presents.
"Lucky Penny" lyrics... what was the deal with them, again? The archives may illuminate a slight problem, or not... may be a hazy memory misremembered.
It came to me riding shotgun with Brother Dave
behind the
wheel, Julie & Geno in the backseat, darkest dark of blackest pitch-
night in Phenix City, cutting across to the Krystal for coffees & WiFi
from Seale's Woods of Wonder. Krystal is located next to the Village
Green stripmall of crumbling early-1970s vintage, btw, so the smiling
drunkard spirit of Ray Davies -with a hefty shot of Paul Westerberg-
hangs over the area like Jack Rawshanks in The Fog, et cetera...
anyway, I began the bit:
Hey there Lucky Penny... can I get lucky with you?
and the sweet flute and chick "doo doo doo doo dah doo doo doo doo dah
doo" backing comes in, with:
Who, on the original recording you sent me, is Maureen herself, singing?
Can I get Lucky?
Can I get Lucky?
Can I get Lucky with you?
That sounds promising.
There are great possibilities, imo, with it... just as written (& recorded by you & M.) it is a very catchy bit of melody, that I felt then and still feel, could be pretty nice. See below, maybe, or above... or the next post. Something like that.
Anyway, back to the response to Jimmy, yes, let's work... will it be
through long-distance file trading? A bit tricky but I think we can
pull it off.)
Stuart, with his DQ & Lucky references, seems to be evoking Peter
O'Toole, the Greybeard Cavalier of LaMancha & his faithful pal Lucky
Sancho, who in the latest incarnation is a pretty little lady in
combat boots from the Green Islands of China... but more on that
later.
Ah, these ideas were taking shape last week but I got sidetracked from them... I should go back to some of that.
I see the Lucky Penny character emerging there, becoming more & more real in my mind... which takes it closer to becoming a part of The Agenda.
Some update questions on "LP/CW" that I know should be archived, but might help speed the project along, well, one main one, really:
Was there some statement at some point during the work, after I had taken on the idea of adapting "Lucky Penny"/"Country Woman" that you didn't want the words or melody tampered with (or changed, adapted) into something that expands on the actual pieces you originally created?
I'm writing this backwards, from the top up (a Chinese influence or something Eastern, maybe) (How Goober, right?) and so I may have asked that above since I see there's mention of the other creators I work with, and what may have held up work on "LP/CW" very early on... I'm going back now for the "lyric sheets" ---yet another hold-up since I have no printer & so have to make special moves (like asking someone at least once) to get hardcopy print outs. HC is good about getting prints of material he specifically has worked with me on, chords, charts, tabs & words, but as mentioned before, by you, above, this is almost always exclusively on something he has a direct interest in, ie "Dockery & Conley" material... but I digress, sort of.
I'll post this and try to get back and communicate what I'm trying to communicate in a moment, maybe see if I've done that somewhat, yet... there are about 3-4 aspects that should come together if they can, or if I have the moving room to get it out there. An opening was shown to me last night, and it may take some shape if everyone & everything flows positively to where my vision is going at the moment.
