JSngry Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) Tex, you wanna help some of these fellas out? ← Gladly.Free For All posted a rather clever parody of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven in which the Raven was replaced by Vince WilburnI responded to the Raven/Miles reference with "Bye bye, Blackbird", another Raven/Miles referenceGreg K responded by wondering if I was cryptically saying that the set had been cancelledI responded negatory, good buddy, and in the course of clarifing that the reference of my response to Free For All's post was indeed nothing more that a Raven/Miles reference, I referred to Free For All as FFA.Clem then took the "FFA" allusion as an opening to quote a Terry Allen song called "FFA", which in this case stands for Future Farmers of America, a venerable agriculture-training program that has been active in America's high schools since its founding in 1928. ( http://www.ffa.org/about_ffa/html/ffa_history.htm ) Clem seemed unsure of whether or not I would get the reference.I responded by assuring him that I did indeed get the reference, and I added that although Mr. Allen's song was spot-on for certain FFA types (usually suburban), there was another, less smarmy side to FFA, a side that I saw first hand while growing up in semi-rural East Texas.Clem agreed with me that an honest life in agriculture is an honest life indeed, and then referenced Mr. Allen's referencing Texas beers. He also asked if I had toured the Lone Star Brewery in San Antonio, a tour that ends with free samples being handed out in a room that is veritably saturated with mounted big(and not so big)-game "trophy heads.catesta, ever the beer snob , overlooked the references to some of the worst beers ever made in the history of the world, and made a joke about farming subsidies.I recounted that I had indeed toured the LS Brewery, which, btw, I believe is now defunct. Not sure about that one though.People apparently got confused.Clem made the tag in the corner and left the ring, but not before giving one of those local food tours for which he is so justly famous.So that's it in a nutshell. Typical, one might even say definitive, O-Board Thread Sidetrack. A proud tradition 'round these parts, and it happens all the time. The Cellar Door delay led to Poe, which led to Future Farmers of America, which led to Texas beers & brewery tours, which led to a Diner's Guide For The Truly Hip (as well as a call to the bullpen, if I may be allowed to cross-metaphorize) and here we are. Although, to roughly quote Duke Ellington, at this point is becomes highly difficult to tell exactly whom is enjoying the shadow of whoooooooooooooom....

Nobody would/should claim otherwise. But the state is so damn big, and so dam geographically and culturally diverse that its only one type of "Texan". I.E. - I've played a few joints in (north) East Texas where the directons included the line "you come to the end of the dirt road and then you go..." Don't think they have that in Austin.

Guest Chaney Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) In-f*cking-credible. Oh well... As a preview / tease / set promotion / tribute / whatever, some intrepid soul has uploaded onto the Internet CD1 on the Cellar Door set. The RARed file is 78 MB in size and password protected. To get the password, send me a PM and I'll pass it along to you from the uploader. CD1 : 24 hours later, link removed. Be sure to check out the RODCAST of the entire set. The uploader will not upload or distribute in any way any more of the set so please don't ask me to ask him. The uploader will leave this up for 24 hours -- OR LESS -- from the time of this post. And for the record, like most of you, I've... errrr... the uploader has pre-ordered this set... what's it been... years ago? Jim A.: Feel free to delete this post if the uploader has forced me to do wrong. PS: Unless you're a member of Filecloud, you'll be made to wait before being allowed to download the file.

bertrand Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) What are you guys bitching about? It's just taking longer than expected for Vincent Wilburn to wipe out DeJohnette's drum track and record himself over it, that's all. No big deal. Patience is a virtue. Bertrand.
