Contd from above - 10/12/23 - Here's a great song honoring his February 13, 1948 birth in Evansville, Indiana and Paducah, Kentucky's long time resident the late "Black Walnut King" James E. Cook of the USA's Mid-west Forests! WWW stands for World Wide Woods in Jim's life to make your life better and brighter with fine woods now found in the interior of our homes, schools or offices.

I chose this song for Jim because of it's full on energetic orchestration! Plus Jim loved Canada in Spring and Fall.

Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra - Procol Harum: "Conquistador"



Lyrics

Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company
And like some angel's hallowed brow you reek of purity
I see your armour-plated breast has long since lost its sheen
And in your death mask face there are no signs which can be seen
Though I hoped for something to find
I could see no maze to unwind

Conquistador, a vulture sits upon your silver shield
And in your rusty scabbard now the sand has taken seed
I know your jewel-encrusted blade has not been plundered still
Sea has washed across your face
And taken of its fill
And though I hoped for, something to find
I could see no maze to unwind

And though I hoped for, something to find
I could see no maze to unwind

Conquistador, there is no time
I must pay my respects
And though I came to jeer at you, I leave now with regrets
And as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
I know you came with sword held high
You did not conquer, only die

Though I hoped for, something to find
I could see no maze to unwind
And though I hoped for, something to find
I could see no maze to unwind

And though I hoped for, something to find
I could see no maze to unwind

Lyrics for "Slip The Clutch" by Irishman/SCANIA owner singer Marty Mone & keep an eye out for his red bull nose truck hauling a red cab forward truck with both being SCANIAs with MONE in the lighted marque on top.

Irish CB chatter

Slip the clutch in the bull nose truck
I'm heading for the boat
Well I never said goodbye to the woman this time
And I left her a note
Well I'm up three steps in Heaven
Well on the highway to Hell
And I know it'll be a while
Before I say goodbye
'Cause I know you're lookin' well; Hey!

It was just my luck to be given a truck
With an eeget of a load
And a vice gripes and hammer and adjustable spanner and a roarin' V8 STO
The tachograph was turnin' black as I passed the London Eye
With one eye on the road and the other on the phone
Took a selfie passing by
All chains and cranes up roads and lanes
And slurry and money by the tonne
Blowing the airhorn loud going through the towns
And starting her on the run
Hauling wood and grub up this double-drive tub
As the road was rubbing the flaps
Well there was a good laugh 'till I broke a half shaft
And busted the gearbox

Fifty toone plus and forty foot behind
Twenty-four-seven on the O 19
And baby I'm coming back to you
Oh slip the clutch in the bull nose truck
I'm heading for the boat
Well I never said goodbye to the woman this time
And I left her a note
Well I'm up three steps in Heaven well on the highway to Hell
And I know it'll be a while before I say goodbye
'Cause I know you're looking well; Hey!

Slap some grease on the fifth-wheel base
And legs and pipes and lights
Go under the Liffey in Dublin City
Like New York City at night
Hauling for the council with airbags
Bouncing and tipping ramp still up
Had to tip the load while still on the go
'Cause I hadn't got time to stop
Hauling meal and grain on boats and trains
And oil and fags and drink
And driving like Hell until the self propel
And hope that she don't sink
If your luck runs out come home on the bounce
And get super Hampton Boots
Buy a loaf and a V8 coat and twenty lamps for the roof

Fifty toone plus and forty foot behind
Twenty four seven on the O 19
And baby I'm coming back to you
Oh slip the clutch in the bull nose truck
I'm heading for the boat
Well I never said goodbye to the woman this time
And I left her a note
Well I'm up three steps in Heaven well on the highway to Hell
And I know it'll be a while before I say goodbye
'Cause I know you're looking well; Hey!

Doing the tonne while I'm down the M-1
When the limiter fuse did melt
When the woman rang and said sorry Tang
But you know I met someone else
With two chrome stacks roarin' up the back
On the bang flat out in top
My only fear in an understeer
Would I get her stopped at the dock
Rojo honey got the hammer to the floor
And if that's your twenty that's a big ten four
But baby I'm still coming back to you

Slip the clutch in the bull nose truck
I'm heading for the boat
Well I never said goodbye to the woman this time
And I left her a note
Well I'm up three steps in Heaven well on the highway to Hell
And I know it'll be a while before I say goodbye
'Cause I know you're looking well; Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
