Awhile back some friends wrote Haikus of their festival experience. Anybody else have a Telluride Haiku or any form of poem?
My feet are filthy
Sunburned and sore from dancing
I can’t stop grinning
Hurry up to wait
Set up and crack open beer
Useless smile day
great new friends are here
brought by old friends from last year
wrangled here by us
woken up slowly
where is my festival dress?
my tent gets so messy
Good times in mountains.
Honestly where the hell is
Watermelon man
Tarp line is starting
We’ll bring the party to you
No sleeping in line
There once was a mexi-cajun man named Ron…
Never mind, I can’t write that kind of stuff on this family oriented forum.
Boy, the way Glenn Miller played. Songs that made the Hit Parade.
Guys like us, we had it made. Those were the days.
Didn’t need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the days.
And you know who you were then. Girls were girls and men were men.
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
People seemed to be content. Fifty dollars paid the rent.
Freaks were in a circus tent. Those were the days.
Mares eat oats,
and does eat oats,
and little lambs eat ivy.
A kid’ll eat ivy, too.
Wouldn’t you?
I hadn’t heard that it years!!! :eek that brought me right back…
Brought by the music
nurtured by the endless love
its mountain magic!
Sam Bush dressed in drag???
What?!?!? is that really John Oats??? :eek
who dosed my water?? 
I actually have never tried a hiaku myself, here’s my first attempt, I think it is the right “tempo”…
Bluegrass Jam tonight
fingers fly to grateful ears
pickin till sunrise
not a Haiku but something remembered from a few years ago
welcome back…
you thought your mando was your ticket out…
welcome back…
to that same old place that you laugh about…
well the names have all changed since you’ve been around…
but those songs have remained though they’re turned around…
we all knew it would lead ya…
right back to the planet where we need ya…
yeah we’re a happy lot cause we’re going back to the spot…
welcome back, welcome back, welcome back…
with respect to the Kotter gang
There’s no way I can match Hooch’s post. That was terrific even if he borrowed the poetry!!!
Since borrowing is ok…
I wish that I could be a pirate
I’d sail the ocean blue
Way before the big liners
Started sailing them too
I’d bury most of my treasures
So I would leave a big hole
And the only real sense of pleasure
(That I’d get)
Is to sail free of my soul
Same ol’ river, same ol’ sea
Same ol’ water rushing over me
Same ol’ moon, same ol’ sun
Same ol’ race that we’ve always run
Same ol’ race that we’ve always run…
credit to Sam Bush of course
If you’ve never really listened to the lyrics of this song, look them up.
Its a great message and it has Telluride written all over it.
Thanks and see you at the FESTIVAL!!!
Peace, Denis
:lol :lol :lol :cheers :wave :wave :wave
'nuff said! HA! perfect . . .
t-ride t-ride, whoop!
soon i will be on to you
i just peed my pance
truck awaits departure
music screams, time to go now
packing telluride
Did you ever see All in the Family? That’s the song that Edith and Archie Bunker sing in the opening of the show.
Working like a dog
Just a few more days to go
Telluride YE-HAW!
Moon rises softly
music, laughter, up all night
solitude in multitude
That’s why I said Hootch “borrowed” his lines.
Oh no, I was way too young for All in the Family :evil
Actually the lyrics were written by Lee Adams and Charles Strouse and there’s another verse that didn’t get sung on the show. It goes:
Take a little Sunday spin, go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day that cost you under a fin.
Hair was short and skirts were long. Kate Smith really sold a song.
I don’t know just what went wrong. Those Were The Days.
You might be interested in knowing that the song at the end of the show, “Remembering You”, was written by Roger Kellaway and none other than Carrol O’Conner. But Carrol wrote the lyrics, not the music and they were never sung on the show. And here they are:
Got a feelin’ it’s all over now - All over now, we’re through.
And tomorrow I’ll be lonesome, Remembering You.
Got a feelin’ the sun will be gone - The day will be long and blue.
And tommorrow I’ll be cryin’, Remembering You.
There’a a far away look in your eye when you try to pretend to me,
That everything is the same as it used to be.
I see it’s all over now - All over now, we’re through.
And tomorrow I’ll be startin’ Remembering You.
Not bad for an actor, eh?? :lol :lol :lol
Actually I did know that but just didn’t want to post all that. But I’ll be singing Remembering You around June 23rd.
Box canyon reunion
Frost on my sleeping baggy
Stars so close to touch
Sammy we love you
Bela aint too bad himself
Emmylou woo hoo!
now thats just fun to say! :cheers
