| My Dollar and a Half a Day (Lowlands)Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:03:05 -0800 by hultonclintIn this version of Lowlands, while the chorus of the sentimental Celtic shore-song is retained, the words to the solo couplets are totally replaced with the typical Blues-like lyrics that characterize many a chantey originating in the American South. They smack heavily of the trade of the cotton screwers, screwmen, cotton jammers, or hoosiers?a type of stevedore that specialized in forcing bales of cotton into the holds of ships by the means of giant jackscrews. This heaviest of labors was said to be more intensive than that of a sailor, however it seems the pay was better, too. This languid, pretty much un-metered capstan chantey would, like Shenandoah, in when the heaving of the capstan was very slow (like when trying to break the anchor free of the mud). Although it is not meant to tell a narrative, still it gets a bit confusing what perspective it is coming from; perhaps the versions given by Hugill are just a sample mish-mash of possibilities. A Black mans labors are mentioned as lower paying than a White mans. At the same time, a matlows (French sailors) pay is lamented as bad. A sailors pay is compared unfavorably to any shore worker, and the draw to screwing cotton is its higher pay. What makes it more confusing are the different dollar amounts. Hugills chorus has MY dollar and a half a day, while Doerflingers (talen from the singing of older sailor Richard Maitland) has FIVE dollars and a half a day. Doerflinger seems to think that English and Irish sailors brought the original Lowlands with them, then, whist working as stevedores in the Gulf port cotton trade, it was shaped into this form. I wonder if it was Blacks who picked up the theme and modified it, or if the European sailors imitated Black spiritual style, OR (as we usually say, to be safe) it was the shared creation of all engaged in that hard business.Since the screwing cotton aspect of sea chantey history figures so significantly in Stan Hugills exposition, I want to quote at length from a passage on the subject which gives a clear idea of what screwing cotton is as well as evidence to confirm its importance. It comes from Charles Nordhoffs The Mechant Vessel (Dodd, Mead & Co., 1895): Related: screwing cotton screwmen hoosiers worksong chantey shanty lowlands mobile galveston |

| Terminator 4 - La Salvación (segundo trailer)Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:18:47 -0800 by JuniorBudaEl fin comienza. Terminator 4 - Salvation. Segundo trailer de Columbia Pictures y The Halcyon Company (el primero era menos completo).Según Prodigy-MSN Video, Christian Bale interpreta a John Connor, el hombre destinado a liderar a la resistencia humana en contra de Skynet y su ejército de terminators en el año apocalíptico de 2018. Pero el futuro, el cual Connor creció creyendo es alterado en parte por la aparición de Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), un extraño cuya última memoria es haber estado condenado a la pena de muerte. Connor debe decidir ya sea que Marcus fue enviado del futuro o rescatado del pasado. Mientras que Skynet se prepara para su ataque final; Connor y Marcus comienzan una odisea que los lleva hacia el corazón de las operaciones de Skynet donde ellos descubren un terrible secreto sobre el posible exterminio de la humanidad... Lo que yo creo es que en ésta parte de la serie se revelará la paradoja del abuelo, donde John Connor se confrontará con él mismo, me parece que en esta historia siempre hay un desarrollo magnífico y una evolución que siempre va de acuerdo al momento actual...El contenido de este trailer así como sus derechos de explotación y demás que resulten así como las marcas que he mencionado son derechos legítimos de sus verdaderos propietarios. Así que espero no molestar a nada ni a nadie con la inclusión de este video en YouTube, es unicamente para fin de entretenimiento de mi parte ya que para mí ésta es la película más esperada desde Terminator 3, la cuál fué la más esperada por mí desde Terminator 2, así que soy FAN etc. etc. Related: terminator salvation la salvacion salvación columbia halcyon trailer español |
