![]() I've got some 1960's yellohed paper around here somewhere On the left, the artwork is Huff again and Guy Beining on the right.Ĭlick the image to read poems & see artwork close-up The poems are "How She Slumbers" by Albert Huffstickler and "After Sex" by John Grey. While looking through this issue, I was struck by the presentation of art and poems over these two pages so thought, for a change, I'd scan them in for perusal. This week's selection comes from Lilliput Review#61. ![]() (*** The decidedly less ugly version became available, so I've posted it side-by-side above ***) However, working with the old lemonade from lemons theory, I am going to try the reverse and whip up a giant widget covering all the songs featured to date. All I can say is that you should have seen it before I edited it down. ![]() There doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it at the moment perhaps I'm just caught between changes or the GS people are just looking for some more real estate. You will notice that the Grooveshark widget, above, has gotten decidedly ugly. Thy holy mountain be restored, thy mercy on thy people Lordįor a taste of what the band was like at its peak, here they are covering Bo Diddley's Mona with a two guitar attack and lots of groovy dancing! Oh thou that dwell on many waters, rich in treasure, wide in fameīow unto a god of gold, thy pride of might shall be thy shameĪnd only God can lead the people back into the earth again It shall cause thy tower to fall and make it be a pyre of flame On Babylon that mighty city, rich in treasure, wide in fame Shout a warning to the nations that the sword of god is raised Those who put their faith in fire, in fire their faith shall be repaid Terror is on every side, though the leaders are dismayed Their mighty men are beaten down, their kings have fallen in the ways Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust againīabylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame Turn around, go back down, back the way you cameĬan't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the dayĪnd behold the mighty city broken in the dust again Here's Gordon Lightfoot's version for comparison. Quicksilver's take matches that power as a folk tune, it has a different kind of power. It's another LitRock song that takes its storyline from the Bible it's lead guitar line, by the late John Cipollina, comes directly from heaven, no intermediary necessary, thank you very much. The song is the opening cut of their debut album and was written by musician/actor Hamilton Camp. This week's Issa's Sunday Service selection is from one of my favorite bands from the 60's, for which I took a lot of riding from my friends: Quicksilver Messenger Service. John Cipollina of Quicksilver Messenger Service
