Not all the music made in the 60s was done by geniuses. Hendrix,
Morrison and Joplin had talent, sure (not to mention Santana, who's
still playing) but a lot of the stuff is remembered by absolutely
nobody, not even the classic rock stations. The 60s are OVER, David, get
used to it.

genii?


You HAVE been a professor for too long. "Geniuses" is the accepted usage
in American English. Hardly anybody who isn't an anal retentive English
professor (which you may be) uses "genii", although since "genius" is
indeed from Latin that would be technically correct. To the average
American, a genii is a magic person in a bottle who grants you three
wishes. Oh, and it was nice that you didn't tackle the meat of my post,
but instead made an issue over Latin vs English.

What do y'all call people who live in Mountain areas? Mountainbillies?
There is a big stereotype about Hillbillies,a stereotype that sure does
have a lot of people fooled Big Time! They are no different from anybody
else.Not enough hills,or big enough hills,here in Mississippi to be
considered Hillbillies.From in front of my house,the street begins to go
uphill,about six or seven feet high to the top,I think.I guess that
means I am a Hillbillie,eh? The side of the street I live on is about
four to five feet higher up than the other side of the street I live
on.Does that mean I am a Hillbillie? It does NOT!

The ONLY kind of Music I like and always have liked the best is the
old,old style of slow soft Music and Songs from the 1950's and on wayyyy
back in many years past.Of course,there is Ancient Irish and Ancient
Scottish Music too.

I apologize for not tackling your meat.

You are short-changing yourself.

Your Mind Is on Vacation

(Mose Allison)

Sitting there yakkin' right in my face
Coming on like you own the place
If silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime

You're quoting figures, you're dropping names
You're telling stories, you're playing games
You always laugh when things ain't funny
You try to sound like you don't need money
If talk was criminal, you'd lead a life of crime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime

You know that life is short and talk is cheap
Don't make promises that you can't keep
If you don't like the song I'm singing, just grin and bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
If you must keep talking please can you make it rhyme
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime

I have no doubts at all Morse Allison is/was a nice guy,whether he is
from Mississippi or your State,any State in U.S.A.or anywhere in the
World.The taste I have in Music are the same as since I was a little
boy,about sixty something years ago.I dont keep up with the "Joneses".By
the way,I love that old style Tin Pan Alley Music too.
