All Around the Watchtower--Happy Birthday Bob Dylan

Amazing poet. Happy birthday, Bob.

All Along the Watchtower

"There must be some way out of here" said the joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion", I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.

"No reason to get excited", the thief he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late".

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Bob Dylan - All Along The Watchtower

Just couldn't not include Jimi's version.

All American Music To Grill To

This is mostly for Americans. And maybe you wish to grill in quiet--that's okay, too.

Multi-generational fun.

But for us in the States, these might be fun tunes.

1. Born in the U S A Bruce Springsteen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZD4ezDbbu4
A traditional song sung with soul.

2. Ray Charles - "America, the Beautiful"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRUjr8EVgBg 

Maybe this is Juneteenth.

This includes some good ole America poetry with the music.

3. Ragged Old Flag * Johnny Cash * USA 

Johnny makes non-verbal comment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIHYNPjUd50&feature=related 

 While we're on Johnny Cash and poetry, the lyrics began as a poem by Julia Ward Howe

4. Johnny Cash sings The Battle Hymn Of The Republic 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9quPWDoLxF0&feature=related 

Friends can have a cook out, too.

5. Simon & Garfunkel - American Tune 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBqCpd31JPA&feature=related 

6. Bob Dylan "With God on our side" 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCp8Q2S_bZQ 

7.  Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Fortunate Son"

Good field for football later, or soccer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU7H--USv6Y 

Here's classical based on the Quaker tune, "Simple Gifts." Another poem.

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,

And when we find ourselves in the place just right,

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gain'd,

To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,

To turn, turn will be our delight,

Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.^[2]

Earliest American Bar B Que: Jamestown

8.  Aaron Copland - "Appalachian Spring"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U7hPHSkNJo 

9. God Bless The USA (Lee Greenwood) 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWC8liHX_G8 

Little known fact about Jimi Hendrix--he served in the U S Army as a paratrooper. 

Jimi in the 101st

 

10. Jimi Hendrix - "The Star-Spangled Banner"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMhq1L0cJf0 

And just a little homage to my home state--

11. The Beach Boys California Girls

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boVY83PQvX8 

Beautiful place for a picnic

I've heard many folks say, who were from other nations on the continents of North and South America, that they, too, could claimed to be Americans.

America the Multicultural.

So, here is Celine, our Canadian friend, to sing God Bless America.

12. God Bless America - Celine Dion (With Lyrics & History) 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXLQ2RPLO78 

 Don't forget the marshmallows and s'mores.

Music For Muddling Through

 

This song won the Academy Award in 1959; it was used in JFK's bid for the White House in 1960.

High Hopes

Next time you’re found
With your chin on the ground,
There’s a lot to be learned, so look around.

Just think what makes that little ol’ ant
Think he’ll move a rubber tree plant;
Anyone knows an ant can’t
Move a rubber tree plant.
But he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes.
He’s got high apple–pie–in–the–sky hopes.
So anytime you’re gettin’ low,
‘Stead of lettin’ go, just remember that ant.
Oops! There goes another rubber tree
Oops! There goes another rubber tree
Oops! There goes another rubber tree plant.

Verse 2: When troubles call, and your back’s to the wall,
There’s a lot to be learned, that wall could fall.

Refrain 2: Once there was a silly ol’ ram,
Thought he’d punch a hole in a dam.
No one could make that ram scram,
He kept a buttin’ that dam.
Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes,
He had high apple–pie–in–the–sky hopes.
So anytime you’re feelin’ bad,
‘Stead of feelin’ sad, just remember that ram.
Oops! There goes a billion kilowatt
Oops! There goes a billion kilowatt
Oops! There goes a billion kilowatt dam.

[Repeat from the bridge:]
So keep your high hopes, keep your high hopes,
Keep your high apple–pie–in–the–sky hopes.
A problem’s just a toy balloon,
They’ll be burstin’ soon,
They’re just bound to go “Pop!”
Oops! There goes another problem ker-
Oops! There goes another problem ker-
Oops! There goes another problem ker-
Plop! Ker–plop!
