Yeah, it's a real shame - past US leaders have always been treated with

but somebody changes their mind about having
their house painted and the next thing you know - POW!!...or rather, not,

case may be...

The current round of shtick is being fueled just as much by (some)
supporters as
(some) opponents, and the idea that Obama is in more danger because of his
opponents than any other POTUS was due to their opponents

whole thing is as silly as suggesting that listening to

raving
psychopaths.

This PBS Gerhke was Edward not George, he of the ******* split cane
fly rod, Gink, and Xink fame and notorious for years on this group.
Edward was born in Wisconsin in 1906. George was born in 1933.

Did Edward, by any chance, single-handedly take out the Kaiser and the boche
over the Danube, nearly naked and alone, with nothing but his trusty
Sopwith-CamelFokker, a blazing Tommy gun, and his sidekick best pal, Tom Mix...?

I saw the episode on Glacier.
Great footoage of some of our nearby inns lodges and chalets.
There is a some talk on my music groups re the soundtrack which must be
stunning with atrists like Jay Unger and Molly Mason, Peter Ostroushko etc.

Ken Burns commissions and uses his musicians well.
Some of his soundtracks have blown me away

Agreed. Probably the best of what he does. Ashoken Farewell, written
for his Civil War series, is, far and away, the most requested piece
at any gathering of fiddle players (don't know about violinists).

All in all, however, I find this National Park series to be a bit too
fawning and saccharine. Yes, it is lovely.........but, hey, enough.

cheers

oz, who has been to most of them, but finds The Blackfoot Reservation,
near Glacier, to be better than any.

In The soundtrack for the sries Ashokan Farewell is written by and
performed by Jay Ungar - altho is origins may lie elsewhere-
Jay Ungar & his wife Molly Mason are great - check out Lover's waltz!
( I will send it to you if you want )

BTW Fiddles and violins sre the same - for me - I pay bluegrass and some
classical- I tend to call bluegrass, swing and jazz violins as- fiddles
Classical violins are the same - Violin is in the fiddle family of horsehair
bowed string insstruments - I interchange the names

I cocur w both of these astute .observations

Thanks

Good thing you requested that this message not be archived. That kind
of talk can get a boy into a heap of trouble around these parts. But
the locals got short memories. Um.....which should not be confused
with mammaries.
