OK guys I have a longer post (even for me) - that if I wait til I edit it to
nearly no-error status- I'll never make it tonight...lol...cause I wanna post 10
new songs in lyrics fa(atics)as well, so if you'll permit me, there are some
thoughts here 'I wanna get down on blue' (corfid skin)(actually astutely-
chosen, because as a backdrop skin - it causes strong color, or in any event
brightness or hue to 'jump' off the page - especially red next to white - red
jumps up and to the left - its tru ! - I know I've stated this before, but I
never considered my own very statement of the phenom being most profound
on blue backdrop- especially on glass monitors "CRT's" - or blue glossyhard
copy eg maps).
So here is...what may take 2 posts due to 10,000 character restrictions (to
protect you from loquacious louts like me) - some thoughts on some very
thoughtful posts you've guys have penned since my last post....especially
Yuri - once again has outdone himself in expressing what I have tried many
times to, in a literate way that reads so engagingly for a firsst-person
read...which is hard by definition....others might express that his way is SO
literate in manner that he is 'erudite' in his means of comport of his nealry
omniscient Lightfoot-engendered feel for the deeply ingrained way so many
of us have Lightfoot stored in our memroy... .....well apllied here, overused
elsewhere, formerly by myself included....
I try not 2 lately, buy it fits here.... and all your comments are a real fun
read...thanks. And again thanks for pimarily putting up with my poor
editing/grammar/spelling and LENGTH of this post. I gotta nip in the bud a
new habit - I write heartfelt posts that invariably wind up long, and require
time to edit - and I save them to a temp file for edit later,,and there they
sit. -I have no less than 20 such files I could fill a thread with called "Steve's
potpourri'...lol.. here is is mine frm last night when I should have been posting
10 new Q's in lyrics - I gotta get around more in corfid and absorb more of
your guys stuff that I attempt to point out here: I am at least rtying to make
it easier to read in ONE way - by double spacing to save your eyes....
OK -oooOOOPS oh yeah its 16,00 characters, si I'll post it in its shameful
unedited state in two files back to back...and is not mean to catch or
comment everyone's posts, and in doing so being unintentionallyover-
solicitous as I have said... only when one strikes a note or funny bone in
particular... I'm not "hosting" this in any way, only wishing to enjoy it in the
same fashin you guys seem tobe so far....
Char
as always will moderate if necessary- but I DOUBT it will
be - its not a game with rules to apply equitably- she may censor
my ...uhm....all hot
and botherd description of my favourite chanteuses....lol... for common
decency in a family post...lol..
anyway, part 1 of 2

Yuri, with
you permission, I'd like to add a few thoughts to a 'paired-
down' abridged quote of your last post if OK by - I'll plead
forgiveness lol....

(See FOOTNOTE *1)
With the option to purchase individual tunes by downloading
codes <SNIP> Continuity is lost and the
album is no more! (See FOOTNOTE *2)
Steve (geodeticman) stated ...<SNIP>.... order is changed we
stop and wonder what’s wrong with the universe….
MUCH the same as I lamented with "equatorial shift - even pole
shift ! lol (See FOOTNOTE *3) - ..'HAB Theory'..
<SNIP>
Even though <SNIP>....... I too remember where and under what
circumstances I bought<SNIP>....
....<SNIP>...don’t have any 8-tracks, I also updated my
collection with every format of Lightfoot’s works....<SNIP>.....
Q for format on a few ? by me (See FOOTNOTE *4)
.....<SNIP>....paid off his Rosedale mortgage.......
($ for me)<SNIP>..... (format Q's on a few ? -
Songbook?) (See FOOTNOTE *4)
I have memories associated with buying each album <SNIP> ... I
think that youngsters today are missing .........<SNIP>........
in some random order just doesn't seem as
rewarding......<SNIP>....(comment by me as to
preceeding) (&a few more similar 4 me) (See FOOTNOTE *4)
Just my opinion, Yuri

geo-
Steve's
footnotes
pertaining to Yuri's many
thoughts:
*1- Funny you
know, I am a
dinosaur, in the sense that
I have never downloaded a song yet, except for the
'playlist' function in MySpace(d) -
I
grow....fatigued (as Khan would say)....by MySpace -
only for personal reasons - I know so many enjoy it, I am
finding it cloying, me-isms, and to 'structued' for genuine
self-expression - despite the admirable effort to provide a
venue for just that....no matter POINT BEING
-
I can't 'burn' those 'playlist' songs to a disc,
taken on faith as such - as I have not tried... but they are
said to be proprietary limited to use etc etc....lol..
so I have yes- downloaded that much-needing an
edit - but none other I could burn without remorse - are there
such Gord tunes you CAN ?
WHEN I DO UPLOAD--- which is
actually what I had referred to and was remiss in not
stating for clarity....
I re-order my own
purchased music uploaded and re-ordered/re-burned (I call it my
NASA-brat 'after-burner' lol) and LOVE my "outdoorsman' cut, and
my 'prosaic love Ballad' burn etc
....
but I AGREE COMPLETELY
WITH Yuri - as to
the
'sterility' and the
experience lost... .
...
its almost AKIN TO CHANGING THE ORDER OF
PAINT AS-APPLIED BY THE GREAT IMPRESSIONIST AND ETC IN ART -
HOW DIFFERENT THEIR PAINTINGS WOULD BE IF WE RE-ORDERE WHEN THEY
LAID DOWN RED VERSUS GREEN VERSUS YELLOW AND ALL
COMBINATIONS....IS IT A FORM OF DENEGRATION ? -
perhaps.... but I still enjoy my 'own
custom compilations' very much - but I
admit, trying to B w/o bias - I have not done so
(burned a CD vs. on-hard-drive
only)with my only 'downloaded' playlist ONTO CD.
Interesting, and even more so
the point well made by Yuri....
*2 - yes that
'continuity' - presumably as Gord intended -(
producers/adders of back-up singers such as
on 'High and Dry' not withstanding) is a thing
that , while humorous as I tried to express it, is actually
troubling... as was stated by one or more thers...
*3 akin to
equatorial shift as I first tried to quip, then added as to
closer to the real impact it has....of something wrong... albeit
histrionically exaggerated as 'Pole Shift' - it feels like
lol.... and the Great Book
'The HAB
Theory' I referred to on just that - fiction
based on science factoids eg Michael Crichton
et al...
