The soul feeds on more than words.
When the talk stops but the silence can't go on . . .
Rodeo posters, old photographs, movie clips, comedy sketches,
spoken word, storytelling. . . what've you got?
I'll kick it off with Willie Nelson's "Gravedigger".

And one from Shawn Colviin singing a favorite Tom Waits song, "Hold On":

Music's only one thing. What else?

Rodeo poster…
My favorite, by far, souvenir from my recent Wyoming trip is a rodeo poster.
Check out the link.

Hulett was sold out so I picked up the 2011 Black Hills print.
The artist is amazing, and works from his studio in Hulett, at the antiques store on the corner across from the aptly named “Corner Store” on 24.
I got a signed print and a great conversation with his family for $20.
That…is the Art of Liberty to me!

Holy Smokes, that guy is terrific! It takes a while for his pictures to load since
he probably can't bear to cut them down to web size.
And all this time he's been right there in Hulett. . . . .geez.. . . .glad you
found him on your trip!

Terence,
He only does one poster a year. The entire poster is a copper etching, I mean, how many people still do this? He said he snuck into an etching class during college to learn it. They moved out to Wyoming I think he said about 10 years or so ago. He estimated the time involved to create them at about 4-6 months!

Extraordinary. I predict something from this talented artist is going to make it into our house!

Here's 75 covers from Liberty Magazine.
http://www.libertymagazine.com/art.htm
I made up the term "Art of Liberty" and a web search shows one
or two references to the term though nothing serious. It would make a good
name for a T-shirt and/or logo company.
Enjoy the magazine covers. . . .

Born in Philadelphia with every relative I ever heard about. . .
The first musical memory of my dad was around
this Elton John live Soul Train performance (On a Heathkit TV he
soldered in the garage) of "Philadelphia Freedom".
Note: John belts it out with no song track and a LIVE mic, unheard of today!
Parse the lyrics and the song is still inspiring . . .

Some lyrics from Liberty. Performed by the Grateful Dead, written by Robert Hunter.
Saw a bird with a tear in his eye
Walking to New Orleans---my, my, my
Hey, now, Bird, wouldn't you rather die
than walk this world when you're born to fly?
If I was the sun, I'd look for shade
If I was a bed, I would stay unmade
If I was a river I'd run uphill
If you call me you know I will
If you call me you know I will
Ooo, Freedom
Ooo, Liberty
O... Leave me alone
to find my own way home
to find my own way home
Say what I mean and I don't give a damn
I do believe and I am who I am
Hey now Mama come take my hand
Whole lotta shakin' all over this land
If I was an eagle I'd dress like a duck
Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck
If I get a notion I'll climb this tree
or chop it down and you can't stop me
Chop it down and you can't stop me
...

Nice tune. Would've never found that without an Atom. Here's the
music to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKYqIOh2Kcg

Not a night goes by
(That) I don't dream of wandering
Through the home that might have been
I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
Now everyday i wait again
In a house that might have been.. . .
"A Home"

Enjoy!
Neil Young, "Here We Are in the Years"
Time itself is bought and sold.
The spreading fear of growing old
Contains a thousand foolish games
That we play.
While people
planning trips to stars
Allow another boulevard to claim
A quiet country lane
It's insane.

I really love the power of a story to illustrate things or communicate concepts. This, from Erik the Viking is so America today.

Very good clip to illustrate "America today".
With a nonchalant wave of dismissal, the father character says at 1:39, "It's alright, it's not happening."
I know too many people who think the same way.

I thought this was neat, and here was as good a place to post it as any. Years ago two homeschool families got together and decided to make an epic motion picture. This was a big undertaking. Can a homeschool families make epic motion pictures? The 2008 result was Pendragon: the Sword of His Father. It is one of my kids' favorites. They are now releasing their second film, Beyond the Mask. It is a Revolutionary War flick that I think looks pretty good. Here is the trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pX6Ih7YhQ8
and here is a youtube about the movie's making and ideals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6_GceQWxZM
Their website is
http://www.beyondthemaskmovie.com/home
There anyone interested can find out if it is in their area, or try to get it there. (Not that a mere movie is necessarily worth too much effort)
