Friday Jukebox: Je suis désolé Edition



Because, frankly, I am feeling desolate and far from home today.

But any day when Mark Knopfler can swing it zydeco fashion can't be entirely without hope.

  1. I just mentioned Knopfler a moment ago re. a really great drum line from a Dire Straights song which I had recently heard ... Sultans of Swing" or maybe, "Money for Nothing. I really appreciate good drums in Rock.

    Sorry you're feeling a bit low (well, I guess "desolate" lies below that.)

    You have a friend in FLA thinking of you, and hoping you rest well tonite :)

  2. Bad day; no work and nothing to do but be frustrated about that, and being away from home, and irked at the damn foolishness on the news...

    I'll get over it...but I am much beholden to you your kindness; "For this relief, much thanks, for it is bitter cold and I am sick at heart..."

  3. And for a gal who likes her drumming, here's a fun Knopfler tune with a terrific drum solo at the end:

    "Down in Louisiana there's a hurricane coming
    The little boy climbs the stairs
    And all along the levee all the people come running
    And the little boy's saying his prayers
    And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
    And he's asking for his G.I. Joe
    And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
    And says my little one I love you so

    Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
    Daddy leave a light outside the door
    Once upon a time there were cannibals
    Now there are no cannibals any more..."

  4. Per the news: indeed, for "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."

    I have been much busy, but I do think of you, and if I read that you are feeling down, I feel that immediately and am sad that you're sad.

    Thank you for the great link :)
