La Vie Dansante

Post by Col Angus »

Excellent lyrical expression of some of life's truths ("They could come take it all away') and some excellent suggestions for deal with 'em ('..live when a new surprise surrenders')
It's the name of my current sailboat.
Col Angus is an acquired taste. If I wear out my welcome, just tap me on the head.
You've only got two options, havin' fun or freakin' out.

this is a great album but i would have to pick Le Vie Dansante (afterall, it is my new signature)
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want, La Vie Dansante

Who's the Blond Stranger?

I love it because it always reminds me of a soap opera.

I have to go with La Vie Dansante because it's such a fun song. Mrs. Wino has a convertivble, and I always think of Rag Top Day when I'm in it, so this is a close second.

I really love this album! It is hard for me to pick one favorite song on this album. She's Going Out of My Mind is one of my top faves just because I love the way he sings it. Ragtop Day totally rocks. Bigger Than the Both of us, I love it because I am a romantic, and I just cant' help it. When I listen to this album I get the sense that Jimmy was going through a lot of stuffat the time, and some of the best songs come out of contemplation.

It's the child in us we really value
Here we are, with our fins up and our feathers flashing
Here we are, with our coconut shell brassieres chanting

Not my favorite CD, but Who's the Blond Stranger is pretty good. Ragtop Day, La Vie Dansante are also in mix.
