"Yer Blues"

 
 
 
 

Kitty says I've been a bit dour lately. And she's worried about me, re: "Free As A Bird." She picked up a vibe from that post. But the real story is: I was perusing youtube.com and typed in free as a bird, fab 4. Of course the video from the anthology popped up, and I enjoyed watching the mystery tour. And, er, wanted to show it with the viewing public. That's it in a nutshell.

Speaking of which, here's another favorite tune from back in the day. The song first appeared on the white album and was reprieved in the following video from the plastic ono band live in toronto.

Yer blues, er, my blues, v.c.

P.S. All we are saying is give v.c. a chance.

P.S.S. Jerry lee Lewis was on the bill, and that's Eric Clapton playing with the ono band. Also, Klaus Voorman plays bass, he of the "Revolver" design fame.

P.S.S.S. Who needs google when yer mind is full of useless trivia?


P.S. Unfortunately, the proprietor of the Pond can't find the video, so we'll go instead with John, Eric, and members of the jimi hendrix experience. And white men can't jump, eh? Posted by Picasa

P.S. ad infinitum: Usage Note: The word dour, which is etymologically related to duress and endure, traditionally rhymes with tour. The variant pronunciation that rhymes with sour is, however, widely used and must be considered acceptable. In a recent survey, 65 percent of the Usage Panel preferred the traditional pronunciation, and 33 percent preferred the variant. Pulled that one out me arse, eh?
