Annabelle Lee

Study of Annabelle Lee in YouTube... first a reading and photo collage in front of a fitting instrumental version of "My heart will go on"
 

 Then leave it to Joan Baez to put a lofty ballad to it... Not my favorite, only made it through 40 seconds.

 

Then there the lovely Sarah Jarosz with the all star Transatlantic backup band. She is a wonderful young musician.  I'd love to see her entertain LaCrosse at the Great River Folk Fest.

   

 Then there is this beautiful poem read to clips that belong to the BBC, Warner Brothers, ITV, and Pathé/Paramount Pictures. The song overlaid with the poem is 'Trees' by Keiko Matsui.

  

 This one surprised the heck out of me... STEVIE NICKS... The video about says, Taken from the iTunes Deluxe Version of "In Your Dreams", there's extra artwork, pics & song-info on that not on the regular or the Fan Edition CDs. Well worth the purchase IMO... Check out my Playlist "In Your Dreams"

 

 Now this one by a latin group Radio Futura is very interesting. Makes me want to grab the congas and start an version based on the groove in English.  

 Another group that was new to me, Sweet Sister Pain, is more in my vocal range, and I absolutely love the Cello and how the choir joins this mournful bluesy vocal.

The Mountain

Last March we enjoyed listening to Tracy Grammer, and one of her stories about her soul mate Dave Carter was listening to his hero, Joan Baez sing his song, The Mountain.. I did my usual search on iTunes to find Joan's cover but to no avail. So why don't you all email Joan to get it released

or yell the request to her August 7th at the Big Top. Don't try to get tickets they are already sold out.

Until then enjoy Tracy sing the song:



Here are the lyrics to The Mountain :
I was born in a forked-tongued story,
raised up by merchants and drugstore liars.
Now I walk on the paths of glory,
one foot in ice, one in fire.

I see the mountain, the mountain comes to me,
I see the mountain and that is all I see.

Some poor prophet comes, some find solace,
some lay him down in a junkyard bay.
Some will chase us and some will call us,
gone, gone, gone in a day.

gone to the mountain, the mountain comes to me,
i see the mountain and that is all I see.

Miller take me and miller grind me,
scatter by bones on the wild green tide.
Maybe some roving bird will find me,
over the water we'll ride.

over the mountain, the mountain comes to me,
I see the mountain and that is all I see.

Some build temples and some find altars,
some come in tall hats and robes spun fine.
Some in rags, some in gemstone halters,
some push the pegs back in line.

I see the mountain, the mountain comes to me,
I see the mountain and that is all I see.
