theme thursday = statue

Sculptor of Statue Of Liberty :

Frederic A. Bartholdi

Pertinent info can be read by clicking on SOL link.

When I saw this photo, I started thinking about
what this statue could tell us, about all the people
who came to America through Ellis Island and
what she may have heard people say, their languages,
their hope, fears, excitement at being in
the land of opportunity at that time in history.

And then I thought of this song:

This Is Nobody's Land
John Lee Hooker

coffee and such

Although a coffee tree can continue

blooming for 50 years, the best crops

come between the 5th and 15th years.

This caught my eye, not only the name, but
the description that was used. Must have
been the time period?

Don't forget, tomorrow is the 4th
Bloggers Silent Poetry Reading.

I'm not sure who started this
since it is my 1st time to play,
but it has been played 3
years previously. Don't know
how I missed it.

Laurel & Hardy

Thursdays have become Theme Day

for a few bloggers and although there
have been only 2 so far, they look to
be quite interesting. Creativity is the key
and the rest is up to you. I will put the
theme in the sidebar on Mon/Tues,
once I hear what theme has been decided.

Won't you join in?

=======================================

The folk-era coffeehouses of the sixties,
particularly in New York's Greenwich Village,
birthed many budding poets,
folk musicians and actors.
Woody Allen,Pete Seeger, John Cage,
Allen Ginsberg among many.
Similar to the first coffee houses in Turkey AD 1554,
and the Europeans in 1824.

The music for coffee did not end with Bach.
The very first Moog Synthesizer used in
pop music was a song called "Percolator"
where the synthesizer imitated
percolating coffee.
