depending when that was a 5 peso note could have been worth close to 1 dollar U.S. or a thin dime. when I first got there in the early eighties the exchange rate was 7 pesos 50 centavos to the dollar when I left about ten years later the exchange rate was near 50 pesos to the dollar.

it could be i was so fucked up that i missed that five dollar bill.

given the attitude of the lady, though, and my habitual money tracking ability, it still seems likely to me that she stuffed a five-dollar bill into by shirt while i was asleep.

but maybe i'm just trying to

I sent out a kid with five bucks U.S. for some smoke, he came back with a half kilo of buds and 50 pesos change. that was early '82 and the exchange rate was still under 10 pesos to the dollar.

a girl picked me up in seattle, took me home with her, introduced me to crosby stills and nash, most especially "judy blue eyes".

a neophyte, stoned to the gills.

i told her that if young men didnt enjoy war, there wouldnt be wars. she was outraged.

even when they had the travel restrictions in the late eighties due to zoomies in Angeles City getting themselves shot I would go to places 'canos didn't go, learning Tagalog had its advantages. if one did not speak Tagalog if they went into a pinoy bar they didn't stay long. every one I went into for the first time they would show their displeasure of my presence by breaking ashtrays and glasses on the floor where I was sitting I'd just say "hoy pare bukit ganya ka?" after that it'd be like we'd been drink buddies for years.

I really like the Cornbread Red rendition of Southern Cross and as I've never been to Seattle I'm fairly sure I know not the gal of which you speak.

"hoy pare bukit ganya ka?"

dont know what that means.

i was the typical military tourist, and languages didnt make much difference... context defined the natives, and if they were mildly goodlooking girls in a bar, that's all it took.

hey pal why do you have to be like that? is the basic translation. I didn't like paying tourist prices for beer so I was more likely to hang out at a sari-sari store and drink or the pinoy bars. the bars that catered to 'canos would charge from 10 to 20 pesos for a beer, I never paid more than 6 pesos a beer at the pinoy bars and as little as 3 pesos at the sari-sari stores. hinda ko kariput, ako yagit! I'm not a cheapskate, I'm poor!

the really fun part was establishing what dialect the person you were talking with spoke, my wife is from Tabaco Albay so I speak what's called the Bicol dialect and the majority of persons I'd come in contact with spoke Papangan so I learned both but here in Texas we just speak Bicol to each other, it drives the mexicans nuts.

should you feel the urge check out the bumper music for the Agenda 21 talk show they play various cuts by Cornbread Red with Southern Cross being one of them.

good grief.

i couldnt seem to access cornbread red by the link you posted, but i googled them.

good stuff.

all we got to do now is convince them to write songs that matter.

#146. To: IRTorqued (#144)

the problem for me, in particular, seems to be, that i cant play worth a shit, my voice takes a lot of getting used to, and i'm running out of what it takes, assuming i ever had what it takes in the first place.

cornbread red has the tools... maybe i will listen longer... maybe they're saying stuff that registers in the long run.

of course not they are the bumper music for the shows you have to listen to the shows to hear the bumper music and the shows them self are very interesting. some of the best parts are when Gary from Georgia calls in, that guy knows some law and legal process.

well, whoever's putting the recordings together is doing a great job with the talent, and the talent is boggling.

but it always boils down to the same thing: if the music isnt relevant, it might as well be lady ga ga.

i gots to listen more to try to figure out what they're saying, keeping in mind that the perfect song is so ambiguous that everyone thinks the song is about them.

google shows four songs from cornbread red, and apparently you can play the songs, full length, once... then you have to dump your cookies, etc, or you'll only get 30 seconds.

Lord, I hope not. Taps were all frozen this a.m. and no H2O for the little lady to take a shower. 16 degrees here this morning. Never seen anything like it. Forecast 20 tonight and 25 for Sunday overnight. Lows should be back in the 30s for Monday night.

All my faucets are dribbling now and I have an outside spigot with icicle hanging from it. Looks like the pipe split. Hope we make it through the weekend here without any damage. Got the fireplace on and the furnace up high enough to roast chestnuts. Brrrr. Sick of it.

Try Montana in the winter - when the daytime high is -15 and you think of that as a "warm-up". (Of course that is why I DON'T live there and am not inclined to move back.)

Although Montana really does have 4 seasons:

Almost Winter
Winter Still Winter
And
Road Construction.

Success. I turned on the water this afternoon and no leaks. It's still getting down to 25 tonight along the Red River but I'll leave the water on and run a steady trickle through the indoor faucets.
