As I mentioned on the other thread, good job!!
It IS VERY COOL!! I like that it seems to breathe because you have that space in there.
It's like a living, breathing creation. I think it worked well.
If someone doesn't think so, they can go play some Howdy Doody music (or something of that nature).

Ilove that song
Buffalo Bob: Say kids, what time is it?
Kids: It's Howdy Doody Time!

It's Howdy Doody Time.
It's Howdy Doody Time.
Bob Smith and Howdy too
Say Howdy Do to you.
Let's give a rousing cheer,
Cause Howdy Doody's here,
It's time to start the show,
So kids let's go!


Yea Yea my last joke of the year

It was my fortune to witness some very bizarre but extremely moving African music.

The night before our assault group smashed the Terror camps in a place called Chomoio we hadn't been briefed but we all knew, somehow, that tomorrow was the attack.

After it got dark (we were camo-ed in a Tea plantation) the African Rifles guys began singing their war song (Hondo Hondo). They would go to each of our vehicles, have a hit of Dagga, sing a verse of the song, and move on to the next one. Sadly, the only words I can remember are the Hondo Hondo sort of chant. In some ways it was like the pre-battle singing in the movie 'Glory' only more somber.

The officers who normally might have intervened were as awe struck by this as the rest of it. We just kind of stood around saying nothing and understanding that not only were we facing real war in the morning, we were seeing something that most folks never will.

We served regularly with these guys but had never seen this before. It seemed to have to do with the scope of the upcoming battle.

Since I didn't want the white tribe to be outdone, I recited the 'Band of Brothers' speech from Henry the V to my team as we crossed into the river into Zambia.

Happy New Year

My neighborhood is chock full of real Africans, from Africa, even. They smile a lot (unless they're Muslims, then their kids don't even smile).

Now back to your regularly scheduled general musical chat.
