My Grandmother Whitley put a huge influence on me one summer, 1970 seems to be the one, since 1969 and 1971 were vastly different mini-lifetimes (interesting how childhood can be like that, isn't it?). That summer, she seemed determined to steer me and my talents into a "Gospel" or "Christian Rock" direction (before the latter genre really even existed), as at the start of my summer vacation, most of which I traditionally spent with her and my Grandfather W.C. Whitley in LaGrange Georgia, she sat me down and showed me C on the piano, and gave me simple finger picking (hunt & peck) melodies that I needed to play every day for an hour or so, and to read some King James passage she picked out, for me to memorize and repeat. I saw how all this could be combined up and turned into some interesting "songs", but I was pretty busy with comic strips around that time, several vast epics of my original superhero and monster characters (The Assemblers, Major Liberty, Splut et al) done in "newspaper" comic strip style of a few panels a day, progressing really slow, like Dick Tracy, Mark Trail, and so on did, a story style mirrored in those incredibly static soap operas of that era.

My son Clay actually has a website up devoted to these bizarre little comic strips, if there's any interest in that. Linked above.

And, oh yeah, Happy New Year, Bill, Corey and all our comrades.

Which of the words, "homework", "courage" or another?

Try defining mutual, Will. Thanks for your time.

Why don't you start first, for a change?

Sure. Mutual means in common.

These two words are interesting in that they /are/ definitions, themselves.

Off topic, but a little more on the poetry of Muhammad Ali, June 1975 was quite a month for Ali and his poetry:

===================================================================

http://blog.mewe.org/2014/07/08/launching-mewe/

In June 1975, Muhammad Ali was asked to deliver a commencement address at Harvard University. As the story goes, Ali was nearing the end of his speech when someone in the audience exclaimed, "Give us a poem!" Everyone quieted down. Ali paused, then responded with two words:


"Me, We."

MeWe takes inspiration from the spirit of individual and collective empowerment this phrase conveys.
========================================================

And... so it goes, on and on...

"These two words [welcome and appreciate] are interesting in that they /are/ definitions, themselves."

Please explain that sentence. It doesn't make any sense to me. Thanks.

Some words of English just /flash/ like lit by neon: Stop, Go, No and so on.

To me, Welcome and Appreciate are just a step of two higher in instant meaning, like a flash.

I mean, seriously, who in 21st Century America does /not/ instantly know what it means to be welcome and/or appreciated?

Two basics of good home training, and manners, by my definitions.

:D

If this were so, Corey would have felt that welcomed by you at the Do-Nanny.

 After Corey posted the violent threats to me just days before the
 Doo-Nanny, and I clearly wrote after that he was not welcome, he drove
 1,000 miles secretly and just showed up. Under those circumstances, I
 think Corey was treated better than he actually might have deserved to
 have been.

http://s184.photobucket.com/user/Parnellos-Pizza/media/Shadowville%20All-Stars/Shadowville%20All-Stars%202013/aar67.jpg.html

 After that weekend, though, I and at least a dozen of my friends did
 indeed welcome him, and I added Corey to /my/ friends list.

 Whatever his perspective is of that weekend, those are his own, and may not
 (and doesn't have to) fit my perspective and feelings about it.

I think you both agree that he was treated well (above and beyond considering the threatening nature of his posts).

But is it Corey's perspective that's different, or do you just have different definitions of the word "welcome"?

IMO, this thread reads like an argument over semantics.

I'm sorry. Who was treated well? I got lost somewhere.

Me.

I'd have to know the context before knowing what these words
mean.

Welcome to my parlor, said the spider to the fly.  You are
so kind to visit me.  It make me appreciate you all the
more.

Could be that Butch Anthony, the owner of the land the Doo-Nanny is on, and host of the festival, did not welcome Corey.

I know for a fact that I and my friends included him in on all our shenanigans, although I think everyone liked Corey's weed best.

Since I didn't smoke any weed at all, I don't know, but from the moment Corey walked up to me and told me who he was, I know for a fact I put any offense over his nasty, threatening and rude posts to me here on Usenet, of the week before our meeting, and treated him in a completely friendly manner.

Corey knows this, or should.

:D

Either the black pigs of poetry or the Rastafarians.  The chick in the sunflower dress seemed to have gotten a rough turn from all concerned.

Thanks, Michael.

The girl named Raine did survive, though. I saw her at a Circle K gas station on Victory Drive last summer, two decades older and worse for wear, and seemed to be still geeking. 

She walked by while I was sitting at a red traffic light and didn't seem to recognize me, and I just sat there and looked at her for a moment. Then the traffic light turned green and I let the past go, since I couldn't even remember her name.

I could remember her name (Raine) from the poems, but her "real name" I had trouble remembering... several hours later I did remember, so if I ever see her again I may speak to her, but maybe not, since all she seems good for now is turning tricks, and looks so rough I doubt those come quite as easy as she needs them to.

And so it goes.

Makes me think of one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs, "Spider and the Fly", which is a great way to start the day, some good black coffee and a Keith Richards riff in my head to get the adrenaline pumping.

Oh, okay, that was probably you at Doo-Nanny, being treated well, Corey:

Don't worry about how I was treated.
I knew what I was getting into before
I went down there. You could have
blown my head off when I showed
up, and I'd have no room to complain.
The question is, how were you treated,
given the fact that you felt so threatened
by what you'd read here only days before?

THIS GHOST WAS NEVER EVEN A HUMAN.

Here is what I saw, and a every picture tells a story, don't it?

I sensed that you were "okay", the moment you walked up to me, while the Bibb City Ramblers were already into their set. So, I feel I was "treated" okay... and, yes, I'm glad neither of us were packing heat (that I know of).

You may have a good idea for an epic poem there, Matt... roll with it.

Ain't no poem there, my friend.

Only one of the scariest photos I've ever seen.

: )

Yes, EXACTLY! Every picture DOES tell a story!
Now we're getting somewhere! GREAT! So,
If we accept as fact that every picture tells a story,
then we must SIMILARLY accept as fact that every
picture, simply by virtue of its being a picture, has
some intrinsic value, and that value is commonly
understood to be a thousand words, as in 'A
picture is worth a thousand words.' So, what
I obviously need you to do now is explain exactly
what that picture means to you in a way that a
poor writer like me can truly appreciate. Thanks!

I already did go into great detail about why that photograph is important to me, and is even commented on by Bill in the same discussion, Corey.

So... can you be more specific as to what you are asking?

:D

Yes, I can. Thanks for asking.
You touched on Cyrano. Tell
me more about that. Thanks.

That's Doo-Nanny... Mardi Gras scary.

:D

I don't get the association except superficially,
as it relates to their large noses. I'm trying to
get a better understanding of what the picture
means to you as it relates to me, specifically,
since I'm in the picture beside you; i.e. how
much you appreciate the fact that I'm in the
picture, and what it took for me to be there.

I asked Jeanette Crawford what she thought about the photograph and she wrote:

"Agreed, Will! I miss me some Doo Nanny madness and music!"

And so it goes.

:D

I don't know what she agreeing with you
about. I don't know Jeanette Crawford,
and I'm sure she doesn't remember me.

That's a few of the reasons that the rare, unique photograph is of such importance, historically, personally, and in other ways.

Asig.

You can't bring yourself to do it, can you?
That's okay. It's not that important anyway.

Bring myself to do... what?

I see you can't "bring yourself" to quote text or otherwise provide context for those of us who requested it, yet you don't mind making your endless and absurd demands on others, don't you?

Don't bother to answer...
