What I like best about Quebec is the folk music (Folklore Quebecois). La
Bolduc is my favorite. La Bastringue ... anyone?

The above is a live performance in a public setting. It is fine, but I will
always prefer a proper studio recording. It is striking how traditional
French Canadian dance music is so much like traditional Irish dance music..

Here is La Bolduc at her best doing La Bastringue. As you can see, I like my
traditional music to be as traditional as possible.

The Edith Butler rendition is also excellent. In fact, it is as good as it
ever gets.

La Bastringue is one of the world's great fiddle tunes, and here it is as
traditional as I can find it on YouTube.

There is is tremendous collection of Folklore Quebecois on YouTube. In fact,
YouTube is the greatest resource for all kinds of music on the web. If you
are willing to search, you can find just about anything you might want - and
then you can download it for free! Music lovers should take note of YouTube!


Don't neglect Pandora Radio, www.pandora.com

Once you register, you create your own internet radio station(s) by
typing in the name of an artist or group you like. It attempts to
find similar artists or similar pieces of music and puts them in your
playlist. You can further refine as time goes on by voting specific
tunes up or down. And you can establish multiple "stations" for
different kinds of music.

It's worked well for me with several genres. I haven't tried
Quebecois, but I bet it would handle that well.

No one will ever go to a link unless you explain fully what it is about.
Note how I did it. Also, you still do not know how to edit a post. You waste
your time like the fool that you are.

Wherever you are, I'll be there. Another recycled post with little
connection here, other than you...

There's something else common to Christianity and Communism:
HYPOCRISY.

Don't you find it amazing that 99% of Russians voted for the Communist
Party, and that some 80% of Americans and nearly 100% of their elected
officials are religious in this day and age?

Lots of camouflage in that POLITICAL JUNGLE, right?

Default Hey Ed, dodge this!

Ed, you are going to stalk me, and I will hunt you down with the
precision of the sharpshooter. These groups are not even important to
me. Very poor feedback though some have bravely come on my side. They
don't want to see the big picture. They are afraid of it.

I will keep recycling my posts here and I will let you know that the
bicycles are coming to town one way or another, bike lanes or no bike
lanes, politicians or no politicians, clowns or no clowns.

You sharpen my shooting skills and you keep me amused. I don't believe
in "turning the other cheek" BS, so you are fair game for me too. My
hot groups are Atheism vs. Christianity, and I will pepper you with
the subject.

I'm not a regular soldier. I'm a sniper and I don't waste words. Even
the links you refuse to open have a meaning, a distraction if you
will. Actually I don't write for you. I write for the others, however
few they may be.

You have chosen the path of evil and will make you trip along the way.

I am fed up with your animal metaphors. How about I liken you to your god
damn ****ing monkeys myself? Yea, I think you are really into monkeys. What
is there about them makes you want to fornicate with them? I think the rest
of us would like to know about the depths of your depravity.

And your attacks on Christianity are truly mind boggling. How would an idiot
like you know anything about anything so abstract as religion. You are
strictly a concrete knower, one who knows about monkey asses and penises and
not much else.

If there is a God, let us hope that He will consign you to Hell from whence
you came. Yea, I pray every day that some motorist there in Florida will
take you out of your misery. And the sooner the better!

There is no animal so disgusting, so vile that it deserves comparison to
you, for even the lowest, dirtiest, most parasitic member of the animal
kingdom fills an ecological niche. You fill no niche.
To call you a parasite would be injurious to the thousands of honest
parasitic species. You are worse than vermin, for vermin does not pretend
to be what it is not. You are truly human garbage.

You are an aberration, a corruption, a boil on the Net that needs to be
lanced. You are a poison we need to vomit. You are a tooth so rotten it
infects the whole body. You are sperm that should have been captured in a
condom and flushed down a toilet.

You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say
on Earth. I'll bet you couldn't pour **** out of a boot with instructions
from your ex-CO. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would
rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.

You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm
deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a
weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a
revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.

You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared
richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth
into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody,
abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and
then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.

I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as
you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought
of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are
vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of
this earth. And did I mention you smell?

Quebecois, but I bet it would handle that well.

Internet radio and programs like Pandora are great for getting free music,
but they are mainly good for genre, not for specific songs. I used Kazaa in
the past (and now FrostWire) to get specific songs. They are all golden
oldies, so there is no copyright infringement. But even so, I think YouTube
has got any other venue beat by far. One can always convert video to audio
only if you just want the sound.

The main thing you have to bring to YouTube is a well stocked mind.
Searching the site is pretty much a no-brainer. But still 95% of what is on
YouTube is kiddy crap. You have to know how to avoid the crap or it will
overwhelm you.

I'm a big Pandora fan now. I never used it much in the last few years
(or its ilk) because I don't listen to music much at the computer. Then
I got a "Chumby" and put in the kitchen (with amplified speakers) for
"WiFi radio". We did the same thing with various MP3 players over the
years, but Pandora is a better solution in many ways.

http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...rodid=11529965

I'm completely switched over to streaming now, for both audio and video.
I'd do it just to get away from commercials. Oddly, I still subscribe to
a couple of magazines and a daily paper, and read real books. I suppose
that will change eventually.

I have cable TV, but what ruins it for me are all the advertisements. It
seems like the ads are getting more numerous and lengthier every year. Even
PBS is not as ad clean as it used to be. You cannot escape ads on TV and
radio since they are time bound whereas you can escape them on the computer
and the Internet. Yes, the ads are there, but you do not have to pay any
attention to them since they are not time bound.

I used to be a book reader and subscribed to several magazines, but since
getting a computer and an Internet connection all that has gone by the
wayside. I was a librarian in another lifetime, but I don't know what we
need libraries for anymore, let alone librarians. It is all on the Internet
now.

I never look at newspapers anymore, partly because they are nothing but
liberal screeds. I can get all my good solid conservative viewpoints now via
the Internet. I think the e-book will be the death knell of printed books.
Newspapers are already going the way of the Dodo Bird. Have any of you
looked at Time or Newsweek lately. They are a mere shadow of their former
selves.
