In Flanders Fields


In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

We remember with gratitude those who, throughout the generations, have given the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation, securing our freedom through military victory!

The Pizza Tapes

One of my favorite CD's is a collection of recordings from a historical meeting with Tony Rice and Jerry Garcia--the only time they ever played together. They were brought together by mandolinist David Grisman, and the fruit of this meeting was called The Pizza Tapes.

According to David's website, "Legend has it that a pizza delivery boy lifted Jerry Garcia's cassette tape of two evenings worth of very special music from his kitchen counter, thus paving its way into underground tape trading circles and giving a handle to these incredible performances. Now at last, from the vaults of Dawg Studios comes the sonically superb official release of this historic jam session, the only meeting of guitar greats Jerry Garcia and Tony Rice, introduced to each other by their mutual friend and musical associate, mandolinist/producer David Grisman. The Pizza Tapes capture these virtuosos at a rare moment in time, free of pressure, hassles or any given agenda other than making music and having plenty of fun."

Someone posted a sample from The Pizza Tapes, the song Shady Grove, at:

"Deacon Dan" Crary, Flatpicker Extraordinaire

Dan Crary (a.k.a. "Deacon Dan" Crary) catagorizes himself as a "solo flatpicker." He is, in fact, one of the greats, up there with notables like Doc Watson, Clarence White, Norman Blake and Tony Rice. Born in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1939, Dan has quite an intesting background as seminary student, a philosopher, and currently a speech communications professor at California State University, Fullerton. Dan is one of a handful of guitarists who played a role as establishing the acoustic guitar as a solo instrument in the bluegrass genre. Check out this exciting performance by Dan:
