Papa Yabo - Baspel
The word “gospel”, as in “gospel song” is derived from “go(o)d spell”, the old English translation of the Greek “euangelion” (“good news”), so I guess you'd have to call this a “baspel song”.
Baspel
Back in the day life used to be simple
We went to church or mosque or temple
To pray to a god who didn't care
For the simple reason that he wasn't there
Every day the priests insisted
Obey our god who never existed
You shouldn't worry if you're poor
Once dead you'll be at heaven's door
They never taught you right from wrong
They made it all up as they went along
Fairy tales to scare and control you
Heaven above and hell below you
Fairy tales to scare and control you
Heaven above and hell below you
Fairy tales to scare and control you
Heaven above and hell below you

I don't have all that many fans, so I have to cherish them. So if one of them requests a song, I'll try to oblige. With a mandolin, in this case. "Dirty Old Town" is a song written by Ewan MacColl in 1949 that was made popular by The Dubliners and The Pogues. The song was written about Salford, then in Lancashire, England, the area where MacColl was born and brought up. It was originally compos...

In the short clips on my Facebook there often appears an Asian young lady who excels at playing pool billiards.

"Dirty Old Town" is a song written by Ewan MacColl in 1949 that was made popular by The Dubliners and The Pogues. The song was written about Salford, then in Lancashire, England, the area where MacColl was born and brought up. It was originally composed for the 1949 play Landscape with Chimneys, produced by Joan Littlewood and Theatre Workshop and set in a North of England industrial town. With the growing popularity of folk music in the 1960s the song became a standard in the repertory of British folk club singers. Dirty Old Town (Ewan McColl) I met my love by the gas works wall. Dreamed a dream by the old canal. I kissed my girl by the factory wall. Dirty old town, Dirty old town. Clouds are drifting across the moon. Cats are prowling on their beat. Springs a girl from the streets at night. Dirty old town, Dirty old town. I heard a siren from the docks. Saw a train set the night on fire. Smelled the spring on the smoky wind. Dirty old town, Dirty old town. I'm going to make me a good sharp axe; Shining steel tempered in the fire. I'll chop you down like an old dead tree. Dirty old town, Dirty old town. I met my love by the gas works wall. Dreamed a dream by the old canal. I kissed my girl by the factory wall. Dirty old town, Dirty old town.

Très belle musique
Une artiste hors norme.. Merci pour ta musique qui transcende les continents.
Another tune with some assistance from my olde classmate Jaq Verstappen, who contributed some slide and lead guitar. The lyrics date back to my “voodoo” period, some 15 years ago. Graveyard Shift You packed all my belongings in your nation sack Put a spell on my heart and a load on my back But I got me some witches candle and some graveyard dirt Took it home to sew it in the hem of your skirt Went to Dr Buzzard, got me a bottle full of snakes To bury on your doorstep and make you burn and ache I got my dragon's blood and my gravel root Put it in my mojo with the eye of a newt I burn my candle till the 9th needle drops Take my nine pins to make a double cross Nine pins, nine needles, nine full moons Feed you my gris-gris on a silver spoon Now I walked out and I closed the door You won't be seeing me anymore I got my little red flannel mojo bag I got my worn out shoes and my clothes in rags You packed all my belongings in your nation sack Put a spell on my heart and a load on my back But I walked out and I closed the door You won't be seeing me anymore
L'émotion quand j'écoute cette chanson ; je n'en reviens pas ! Merci pour tout Maman Ktino. Je t'aime tellement ! A jamais la Reine-Mère du bikutsi.

The music for this song by Bob Dylan was written by Rick Danko, from the band called, aptly, The Band, which Dylan worked with during the late sixties. It is probably best known in the version by Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger and the Trinity, who had a minor hit with it in 1968. The lead guitar part in my 2024 version was played by Jaq Verstappen, who was a classmate in elementary school and used to live down the street from me back when we were kids and whom we all very much admired because he had a real electric guitar with an amplifier which he could actually play. Later on he played for a short while with Gothic Novel, a band of a couple of my mates in high school. I myself didn't play guitar yet, in those days, so I could only look on in admiration. Here's a link to his UA-cam channel: ua-cam.com/channels/ol5udl5_TkQOi18QFnb8mA.html This Wheel’s On Fire (Dylan/Danko) If your mem’ry serves you well We were goin’ to meet again and wait So I’m goin’ to unpack all my things And sit before it gets too late No man alive will come to you With another tale to tell But you know that we shall meet again If your mem’ry serves you well This wheel’s on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode! If your mem’ry serves you well I was goin’ to confiscate your lace And wrap it up in a sailor’s knot And hide it in your case If I knew for sure that it was yours . . . But it was oh so hard to tell But you knew that we would meet again If your mem’ry serves you well This wheel’s on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode! If your mem’ry serves you well You’ll remember you’re the one That called on me to call on them To get you your favors done And after ev’ry plan had failed And there was nothing more to tell You knew that we would meet again If your mem’ry served you well This wheel’s on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode!

The Great Wall (Chí Bảo) There's a Chinese lady in my Facebook feed She plays 8 ball like a pro They never tell me what she's called But I sure would like to know She grips her cue, she hits the balls She pots them flawlessly Now look at me, poor clumsy fool, I hit them aimlessly There's a Chinese lady in my Facebook feed She plays 8 ball like a pro They never tell me what she's called But I sure would like to know I want her to teach me how to play To guide my cue when I aim for the hole But that's not going to happen I'd have to cross that old Great Wall
