I get a kick out her poetry — was thinking of posting this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v9yUVgrmPY
but afraid it seems ‘dated’.

Gosh but it reminds me of winter in northern Ohio during the 70s.

[andyssister]

I've watched that four times since you posted it.

They perform it so well together...*chills*

My niece is named after that song.

[RunningWolf]

Yes it is ironic, I really do think.

[andyssister]

This thread is useless without some funk...

No video, just the song Sly and the Family Stone-If You Want Me To Stay

The Brothers JohnsonStrawberry Letter 23

Cool!!

Thanks for nudge. She is very, very talented. *chills, again*

Now I know who I'll be listening to for the next several days!

Is she Irish? I hope so...

You want some funk? I thought of the James Gang, but then drifted to a memory of a James Gang song ‘requiem for a dead princesses’ I cant find it though.

[be4everfree]

Your very welcome.

She may be Irish but, not from Ireland. Kansas I believe.

[andyssister]

...and I saw Blondie live years ago. I don't remember too much from that night

Well, color me jealous!!

How is Fiona not incredibly famous? She took a George Harrison song and made it even more plaintive and touching.

That vid is beautiful. It made me want to cry..( a little.)

[andyssister]

Well dang.

I'm Irish, but I'm from New York!!

It's always good to have a little Irish in ya..:)

[andyssister]

I don't know about "Requiem For a Dead Princess." But you might like this.

The Eagles doing Funk #49. Sweet!!

[RunningWolf]

Fiona Apple, She was so hot and I always wondered what happened with her.

I remember that Beatles/Lennon song. It was a very dark time for me, and then boom Lennon was killed and they were paying that song all the time.

I might not have agreed with his politics, but his death grabbed me.
