  4. Slim Dusty An Australian favorite of Seamus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E0aZ387M_I Thank you Gene, You were a fair good song and dance man In your own day. I know for a fact that Famous Seamus Loved An American In Paris especially Singing In the Rain Something he got plenty of practice at Living in Dublin. Slim Dusty's Obituary From The Guardian still a great newspaper: Slim Dusty Country singer famous for A Pub With No Beer Dave Laing The Guardian, Friday 19 September 2003 21.42 EDT The Australian singer Slim Dusty who has died of cancer aged 76, was best known in Britain for a record that fleetingly monopolised the radio waves in 1958 A Pub With No Beer. The song told of a parched stockman herding cattle in the outback who travelled many miles to a bar only to find it was dry. It had been an immediate success in Australia where it was the first and only 78rpm record to be awardeda gold disc. It subsequently became a top 20 hit in Britain the stuff of the BBC Light Programme Two-Way Family Favourites And an erratically sung barroom anthem. BBC television viewers meanwhile had seen Dusty in an interlude clip singing Waltzing Matilda on horseback. Dusty came to embody an ideal of rural Australia later symbolised by his performance of the same song at the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games three years ago In 1983 his recording was beamed down from the space shuttle Columbia as it passed over Australia Born David Gordon Kirkpatrick In the northern New South Wales coastal town of Kempsey Dusty grew up on a dairy farm in Nulla Nulla Creek Like many rural Australians he was drawn to the American hillbilly music of Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter family and he played a crucial role in the creation of an indigenous genre that fused the imported country sound with the traditions of bush poetry and song associated with Waltzing Matilda's author Banjo Patterson and others. He wrote his first song The Way A Cowboy Dies at the age of 10 and the following year chose Slim Dusty as his stage name At the age of 15 after his first broadcast on Radio 2KM Kempsey he made his first recording Song For The Aussies, a patriotic wartime number. In 1946,he signed a contract with EMI Records for whom he made 100 albums mainly of his own compositions. His career was part-time until 1954 when he launched the travelling Slim Dusty Show with his singer-songwriter wife Joy McKean. They toured small outback settlement and soon graduated to the more lucrative showground circuit Dusty became known for the simplicity of his performances appearing alone as a cowboy-hatted stockman with an acoustic guitar He once described his music as Songs about real Australians I have to be fair dinkum with my audience I can't see any other way of doing it His reputation in Australian country music circles grew gradually, but he did not impinge on the national consciousness until A Pub With No Beer In the 1960s he expanded his touring schedule to an annual 30,000-mile, 10-month trek involving more than 200 concerts He also performed in New Zealand Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands His biggest hit after A Pub With No Beer was Duncan in 1980, and he re-recorded the song with Rolf Harris 16 years later Among his biggest selling albums were Beer Drinking Songs Of Australia (1986) and G'day, G'day (1989). Dusty published two autobiographies, Walk A Country Mile (1979) and Another Day, Another Town (1997). The feature film, The Slim Dusty Movie, appeared in 1984. He received numerous awards including an MBE in 1970 and the Golden Gumleaf Heritage award at the 2000 Australian Bush Laureate awards In 1999 he was given the inaugural Senior Australian Of The Year title by the Canberra government In 1995 a permanent Slim Dusty exhibition was opened at the Australian Country Music Foundation in Tamworth. He is survived by his wife and two children. · Slim Dusty David Gordon Kirkpatrick singer and songwriter Born June 13 1927 died September 19 2003 Ar Dheis De Go Raibh A Hanam

  8. Seamus now wants me to play the song again, But sung by Slim Dusty's Daughter. Seamus is convinced that Anne Kirkpatrick Is the Reincarnation of Kathleen Kennedy JFK's lost sister. Seamus wants me to play this especially For William Aloyisius Kelly, And Robin Aloyisius Unger. I told him Robin is very good But Kelly is overrated, Of course Seamus would not listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EICe11W5tos I have to give a special Shout out to Robin Unger When I was in Australia Robin used BRUTE FORCE To keep me from Mobbing Anne Kirkpatrick

  10. Whispers from the Silent Generationby Rex Bradford May 2013 This talk was delivered at the 2008 November in Dallas conference. IntroductionMany of you are familiar I’m sure with Larry Hancock’s book Someone Would Have Talked, which grapples with the question of why someone didn’t “spill the beans” in the JFK assassination. Larry looked at what some interesting people did say, both before and after the assassination, and used that as an approach to connecting the dots between likely players in the murder of President Kennedy. I want to talk today about a whole other set of people - the political elite class in the country, from Lyndon Johnson and Robert Kennedy to their aides and other highly placed people. What you’ll see is that many of these people also “talked,” though they often did so only many years later, sometimes in private and sometimes on the record. We’ll find that in many ways this group shared with the rest of us disbelief in the lone disgruntled gunman story. What we don’t find for the most part are strong indications that they really knew the answer to “Who killed JFK?” beyond intelligent hunches. But some of their statements offer interesting clues and point the way toward information they had which has since gone missing. Perhaps as importantly, looking at their statements can help us understand how it is, 45 years later, that the American public still doesn’t know how its 35th president was felled. DissentersAs many of you already know, three of the seven Warren Commissioners expressed disbelief in their own conclusions, particularly the single-bullet theory though not limited to it. Richard Russell told Harold Weisberg: Warren Commissioner Richard Russell “We have not been told the truth about Oswald.” [ 1 ] Hale Boggs turned against FBI Director-for-life J. Edgar Hoover shortly before his plane disappeared over Alaska, and an aide of Boggs’ said that Boggs told him: Warren Commissioner Hale Boggs “Hoover lied his eyes out to the Commission – on Oswald, on Ruby, on their friends, the bullets the guns, you name it…” [ 2 ] John Sherman Cooper was part of the group that attempted to get a dissent into the Warren Report until talked out of it in the Warren Commission session that was never transcribed. David Wrone found a draft of the Report in J. Lee Rankin’s papers on which Cooper had written this: Warren Commissioner John Sherman Cooper “On what basis is it claimed that two shots caused all the wounds?.....It seemed to me that Governor Connally’s statement negates such a conclusion.

  11. Robin: Seems I am not allowed to post images, or else I just don't know how to do it. Could you please post some autopsy photos For comparison?.
  12. Sean is nearly always right But sometimes even Homer nods, Like in his refusal to accept The sworn, UNCONTRADICTED testimony Of Mrs Jereldean Reid.

  15. Elvis called to say Move over Patterson I am the King! He would like to sing the song How it should be sung In memory of Famous Seamus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEHnzFC7M9A
  16. Famous Seamus and Frank Patterson Were great friends. This song was written by a New Yorker who took his wife to live in Ohio. She was always homesick for New York, So he wrote this song for her. Of course the thieving Irish stole the song and made it their own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpOvbfptWEY
  17. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-UuxRNA3pw The Irish Chamber Orchestra will unveil two major new works at a concert in Carnegie Hal l on Tuesday, March 15 which celebrates the life of the late Irish tenor Frank Patterson The first work will feature an interpretation by Irish composer John Kinsella of three poems by Nobel Prize winning poet Seamus Heaney which will be read by the Irish actor Des Keough The work entitled Triptych features a musical rendering of poems written by Heaney in 1966, 1981, 1984. Heaney himself helped to make the selection, choosing a larger selection of his favorite poems for Kinsella to interpret. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-UuxRNA3pw
  18. It seems Seamus Won't leave me alone. He is so excited about Robin Unger's latest Darnell frames That he wants me to play Another Aussie anti-war song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COrC1QRejQ0
  19. Robin, Thank you so much for uploading these higher-quality frames from Darnell. I certainly will not be renaming Prayer Man 'Prayer Woman', because the frame above puts the matter pretty much beyond doubt: This is Lee Oswald. The womanly appearance is due to the fact that a ) his sleeves are rolled up; b ) the eye is confusing the back of a woman's head with part of Lee's torso. Here's the woman in question's lower leg and foot: If you place your finger to the screen to cover where her head should be, the chief source of the 'Prayer Woman' illusion becomes apparent. This is Lee Oswald. Just look at the hairline. ** And speaking of hairlines, this frame tells us something else: Buell Wesley Frazier knew--knows--Lee is innocent. Someone urgently needs to show this image to him. Bravo Robin! Forget The Pub With No Beer This calls for the real Aussie Anthem, A song Seamus Heaney loved so well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDit0DyItsM To my compatriot Sean I say be careful about approaching Frazier. We need to do more homework before approaching Frazier. What was the story about his brother -in-law who was returning from Austin that day. Years ago I was looking at Frazier and got the feeling that his brother-in-law was in trouble with the law which might have been a pressure point. Has anyone ever looked into this?
  20. It is a good thing I still have a land line Because Keith Richards and Mick Jagger Called me at the same moment Keith and Mick and what's his name Ronnie Wood Want me to play their tribute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P3t8_5hOj8
  21. CATCH-22 I met an attorney once in Orlando Named John McCormick A lovely old man who was a WW2 Air Force pilot Flying out of Italy, like Yossarian Everyone kids John and asks him to sing Because of the great John McCormack A great favorite of Seamus Heaney Like Famous Seamus, I grew up in a family where John McCormack was revered http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peiCk4jvjiE My Florida friend tells a story that is straight out of Heller: McCormick was shot down over Poland And held in a POW camp He made friends with another pilot named Joe Who was forever bitching That he had already completed 50 missions While the Air Force had claimed 49 The next batch of prisoners brought a fellow from Joe's unit with good news: The Air Force had double checked And Joe was right He should never have been sent on his final mission
  22. Famous Seamus would have got this right away CATCH-22
