The Rainbow Connection

I was looking for inspiration in my quotes book tonight, and look what I found.

"Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic...
... Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
... Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be...
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Peace,
Gabe

Oh hell Smoke

I am lashing myself that I didn't credit the lyrics. Off to sit in the corner.
Peace,
Gabe

Oh! You forgot. I thought you were just makin' me work.

No lashes... it's a real feel good post. But if you must, only 5 lashes with a wet noodle.

Hugs!

No, I'm in sack clothes and ashes

over this. I am a writer by hobby and I am mortified that I forgot to credit the words. Wet noodles will not do it. Someone tar and feather me please. Blech, I hate it when I forget my own rules.
Peace,
Gabe

Guitar and feathers? Okey dokey but it seems redundant. I positively guarantee you will not need to be tickled with feathers to induce laughter once you've heard me play the guitar.

Okay, I gotta know before I place my bet...is this a rumble or a feather-tickling event. We got wet noodles, tar and guitar, feathers, and Gabe goading a bunny-looking Dinotar.

I've got a front row seat and popcorn ready.

Golly gee willickers...

How did we get from rainbows to rumble? Somebody look for Gabe. She ran off with the guitar strings and not only does a guitar make a poor percussion instrument, but I don't know what she's up to.

No, no, no guitars!

Where there are guitars...there are musicians. And where there are musicians...there are drummers. ACK! *Gabe takes cover*
Peace,
Gabe

I just hope that if Gabe does find that pot of gold that she shares it with the rest of us!

Great message, Gabe, and not tar, guitars, feathers or wet noodles from me!

Just love & hugs, and maybe a trumpet!
Lyn

Mornin'!

Hey Gabe... here's a conversation I truly overheard.

K: My friend L is trying to put together a band.
Dino: Oh, he's a musician?
K: No, he's a drummer.

Tasteless drummer joke:

How can you tell if the stage floor is level?
The drummer is drooling out of both sides of his mouth.

Other tasteless musician jokes:

What do you call a musician without a girlfriend?
Homeless

What's the difference between a musician and a mutual fund?
Eventually a mutual fund matures and makes money.

How do you get a musician off your doorstep?
Pay for the pizza.

The mutual fund one is my favorite

I'm considering having a t-shirt made with that joke on it.

What do you call someone with a good-paying, 9-5 job and a stable home life?
An ex-musician.
