Sag Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind

My favorite anti-war song.  Marline Dietriech singing "Sag Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind."  There is quite a shift in the English ("Where Have All the Flowers Gone?") in tense and action.  As for the English, think Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Fidelity

Quote of the Day: the "central issue of our culture is fidelity, not adultery or sex abuse."  -Alfred McBride.

Crushing Grapes with the Turn of the Season: The Seekers and "Turn, Turn, Turn"

Pete Seeger wrote "Turn, Turn, Turn" with his Co-Author, God.  The words are straight out of Ecclesiastes (no, not Ecclesiasticus or the Wisdom of Ben Sirach, one of my favorite books in the bible.)  The Byrds made it wildly popular.  The Seekers take us the the Barossa Valley in South Australia at wine harvest season to make it real.  An absolutely beautiful version.

The seekers did the haunting Beatles ballad, "Yesterday."  Judith Durham makes entirely forget that it was a guy singing.  It's worth comparing with the Lennon McCarthy gang.
