Rothko Chapel
Today I heard what I thought was...Is, a way cool song on WNCW. Just as I was getting to work, I had to sit and listen to it finish. It's by David Dondero and the song is "Rothko Chapel". It's an MP3, so, if you have dial up, be patient, try it late at night. It struck me. There is a Rothko Chapel, I found, way down in Texas. I couldn't find the lyrics...Shucks, I beleive Charlie Parker may be the Jazz legend, yet, I'm not sure.
"If you don't live it it won't come out of your heart, chances are you'll never be reborn".
Yeah, I know, rockabilly hill billy nerd...

Correction, "If it down come out of your horn", not your heart...Better clean my ears...
You're right - I think he was a Jazz "Great" from the 40s and 50s. Seems there was a movie Clint Eastwood did that honored the guy... I could be wrong about the Eastwood thing.
I didn't know Clint did one. Honestly, I didn't know who Charlie Parker was until I did a google search. Gunner, your just so full of knowledge.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend cutie!

Yeah, it's Friday, you have a good weekend too, Lee Ann.
Yeah, but it's the truth. I just wish I could get there . . . reborn. I'm still tryin' to understand some of it on my clear days . . . but I can't get much further than Standin' in the Need of Prayer or Amazing Grace, but it is said that there is Hope even for me. It made me angry (not directed at you) because I/you/we don't have to put down, excuse, or turn up our collective noses at hillbillies . . . sorry my slip is showin' . . . but you can stumble on the truth in a lot of places and hillbillies are pretty good stumblers . . . me too. The English Chappel/Church up 276 . . . doen't it have services? I want to go there for church service some day. I promise to sit in the back and be quiet and listen and watch. Oh! I hope you weren't late for work . . . it is hard (I thought so anyway.) to come off active duty and adjust to "work" time. Take care. Bill Sipes
Hey, Bill, I'm not sure what you are saying made you angry. The song is not sacreligous in my opinion. When you have relation, not religion you find God in non traditional things. To me he see's the girl as a blessing. But it is funny, me and my co worker think, that her heart is a "somewhat comforting" "Cold dark void". woo hoo! My kinda woman! I'm not going to get into religion...
Yes, the English Chapel is still a going. It's Methodist. I'm Baptist(was in a Methodist church last month ought to post on that)Since Baptist can read so much now, there ain't no real difference in the two...Joke.
For ya'll reading this, it is an old rock church on Davidson River inthe Pisgah National Forest inmy sick, but beloved Transylvania County NC. It sits next to a camp ground.
Most everyone in Southern Appalachia are Baptist or Methodist, but, being true Hill Billies, not all of us always agree with the churches we attend.
