Today's Fossilized Fud Music Selection features first, the New Christie Minstrels singing "Today." My sister Marina used to play her guitar and sing this song when I was a very small boy. Now, every time I hear this song, I am transported back to childhood, sitting on the floor in her room, listening to her sing and watching her fingers dance over the strings of the guitar. I'm sure I never told her at the time, but I loved to listen to her sing and play. Good times.
This one, she didn't sing, at least to my reocllection, which is probably a good thing, because it kind of freaks my kids out. "Why is she so mean," They ask. I have to say, "Well, it's just a silly song." They don't quite understand. I'm not sure I do either. But it's such a catchy tune . . .
Then there's this guy. Hillbilly music. Not the kind of condescending city-folk music that Myrna Minx might descend out of Manhattan to play at bars and such in Mississippi, but real hillbilly music. Not that she'd sing that kind anyway -- too white, of course.
