2. Cab Calloway is:

My momma done tol’ me
When I was in knee-pants
My momma done tol’ me, “Son, What did she tell you?
A woman gon’ sweet-talk Yeah!
And give you de glad-eyes, Ah, ahh..
But when that sweet-talk is done: Keep on a- talkin’.
A woman’s a two-faced
A worrisome thing
Who’ll leave you to sing the blues... The blues...
In the night.” Yes, in the night.
Now the rain’s a-fallin’,
Hear the train a-callin’ - Oohee...
My momma done tol’ me. Oh...
Hey, that lonesome whistle’s
Blowin’ ‘cross the trestle. Oohee...
My momma done tol’ me. Hey, ahooee - ahooee!
A clickety-clackin’
And echoin’ back at the blues...
In the night.
The evenin’ breeze - The stars -
The trees a-cryin’ and the moon
‘ll hide its light
When you get the blues
In the night. It’s really tough to get the blues in the night.
Take my word:
The mockingbird
Sings the saddest kind of song;
He knows things are wrong -
And he’s right. Yes, he’s right to sing the blues in the night.

From Natchez to Mobile;
From Memphis to St. Joe;
Wherever the four winds blow; They blow everywhere!
I been in some big towns, Yeah!
And I done heard me some big talk, Ahh,ahh...
But there’s one thing I know: Keep a-talkin’.
A woman’s a-two-faced -
A worrisome thing
Who’ll leave you to sing the blues... The blues
In the night. Yes, in the night.
A woman will leave you singin’ the blues.
I know she will -
My momma was right:
The blues in the night.

[e-mail]

[prolesunited]

8. Well, if you had a star

and nine other people with them, I think you could make it happen. I'm sure you wouldn't have any trouble drumming up interest.

4. Me--I want a sleepover, dammit!

I just got finished extolling the virtues of sleepovers to another DUer, and dang.

Ah well. Things aren't going to change, and I've just got to live with it.

5. Singin' The Blues

Actually I am singing the Blues, along with WDET in Detroit. Blues is my favorite music. Just having some fun on DU, and rockin' and swayin' to Etta James and all the other GREATS!!

[bsuz]

10. Need BLUES Forum ( or Music Forum )

After this Election, the Blues just soothes me. I understand some people can't handle it, but that is their choice. All I know is that its the greatest.

11. I'm sittin alone, Saturday night, watching the Late Late Show........

Down to Seeds and Stems Again
Performed by: Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen (Bill Kirchen)
Written by: Frayne/Farlow

I'm sittin alone, Saturday night, watching the Late Late Show.
A bottle of wine, some cigarettes, I got no place to go.
Well, I saw your other man today; he was wearing my brand new shoes,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.

Well, I met my old friend Bob today from up in Bowling Green;
He had the prettiest little gal that I'd ever seen.
But I couldn't hide my tears at all, cause she looked just like you,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.

CHORUS:

Now everybody tells me there's other ways to get high.
They don't seem to understand I'm too far gone to try.
Now these lonely memories, they're all I can't lose
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.


Well my dog died just yesterday and left me all alone.
The finance company dropped by today and repossessed my home.
That's just a drop in the bucket compared to losing you,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.

Got the Down to Seeds and Stems again Blues.

13. me too! =)

fortunatly saturday is always hardest day at work... so all i can really do is sit, nurse injuries, and then sleep. wooooot!
(today is not an eating day so skipping the dinner)

anybody want a workaholic lefty? =)

[prolesunited]

19. Just wondering what this means

"today is not an eating day"

[meow mix]

22. too many calories in food..

so i like to run off reserves a couple or few days a week.
at 33, the war against age has only just begun =(

[prolesunited]

24. I really don't think that can be good for you

In fact, I'm sure I can find all sorts of links saying that it isn't. In fact, as you age your metabolism slows. Throwing yourself regularly into a state of starvation only makes it worse because your body thinks it has no energy and tries to conserve what few calories you have.

Building muscle mass, cardio and eating mini-meals throughout the day would be a much healthier way to go while still maintaining a trim figure. Just my 2 cents.

[devilgrrl]

14. So be it. We've got each other. Ain't that right people?

:grouphug:

[bsuz]

17. Anyone from the Detroit area ( actually 50 mi west )
