Very late entry! #StillFridaySomewhere

I think we can all agree that the perfect place to play a sensitive power ballad is on the shores of a highly alkaline volcanic lake in inland California, decorated by bizarre limestone pillars! #tufa

From the shores of Lake Mono comes...

Cinderella - Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone): youtube.com/watch?v=i28UEoLXVF

Back to a steady course for "On the Water", and another tune about ferry boats –

Miles Davis, "There's a Boat That's Leaving Soon for New York" (recorded 18 Aug 1958, released 1959)

Gil Evans conducts the jazz orchestra for this version of a tune from Gershwin's opera. Listen out for the ship's horn …

Della & Lagi Jensen - TOFA MY FELENI

Tōfā my feleni,
'ole'a 'ou te'a,
'ai folau i le va'a
a le ali'i pule i Meleke.
Ne'i galo mai Apia,
si o ta 'ele'ele
'ae manatua mai pea,
le 'aupasese

Goodbye my friend,
I must now part company with you,
sailing away in the boat
of the ruler of America.
Never forget Apia,
loved place of my home
May the boat's passengers
always remember us.

Bob Dylan with Richards & Wood - When The Ship Comes In

Oh, the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind
Before the hurricane begins
The hour that the ship comes in

And the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
Then the tide will sound
And the wind will pound
And the morning will be breaking

Orville Peck - Let Me Drown

Don’t wanna wash you away
I swear there’s good things that are coming your way
And I can’t be the one left here dragging you down

Nothing left but the summer rain
Drag me ’round til I never complain

Baby, I can be the one you drown tonight
Well I had sun in my eyes and I’d confide
We’re no worse off than the worst of ’em – it’s fine

#Cramps #SurfingDead

Your carburetor don't carb, got a hammer down this
Your generator gens but your pistons don't work
Do the dead, run for ten
The surfin' dead, c'mon turn it in
The livin' dead insist, it's the latest twist, do the dead
Run, run, run, run, run, run

CW on the video which has some graphic schlock gore
