Soap & Flannel - week of 15 January 2006

With Brian and Adam clashing over the best way to lift Home Farm out of the
depths of gloom and avoid the possibility of ruin, Alan and Usha also have
a heart-to-heart. The vicar suspects that Usha might be more uncomfortable
with the letters complaining about their relationship than she's letting on
- and he's right. What is it with Church of England bishops making their
flocks' lives difficult? You think they'd be grateful for anyone turning up
to church at all, especially turning up to run them in such godless
parishes as Ambridge. And there was you thinking that religion was all
about love.

If two people love each other, there can be no happy end to it. As Brenda
wonders whether to return to university, Tom finds it increasingly
difficult not to confess his feelings for her. There's no crime in wanting
to cheer her up, but is organising a surprise birthday party really the
best idea? "Hi, Brenda! I know your mum has just died, but have some ice
cream and jelly!"

At the Bull, Sid and Jolene worry that their pride and joy will be bought
by some soulless corporation and turned into the Pride and Joy. Or the
Snail and Canary. Or the Grouch and Bad Country Singer.

Yebbut these have all recently been redefined as "Americana" by the
Americana Music Association.  My "This is Americana" 2CD compilation
(a Christmas present from wofe's cousin who works for the South by
South West Music Festival) includes: Willie Nelson; Alison Krauss and
Union Station; the Jayhwaks (brilliant band); Lucinda Williams; Shelby
Lynne; Rosanne & Johnny Cash; the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with Kris
Kristofferson; Rodney Crowell; Robert Earl Keen; Michelle Shocked; and
many, many more.

Kinky isn't there, possibly for electoral reasons.

Into my heart an air that kills from yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills, what spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went and cannot come again.

If Sir likes this kind of thing, may I be so bold as to point Sir in the
general direction of "The Coyote Problem" (www.thecoyoteproblem.com)?

I happened upon them in a small bar in Fallbrook, CA last year, and was
somewhat taken by them.
