Spring Showers and Crucifixions - Show # 72 - March 25 2016


Dear fellow spirits,

 

(see tracklist below)
 
We can't help it, our head is all over spring!



Ah, beware the flowers of love past!!
Ah, beware the rites of Spring!!


Sigh no more ladies, sigh no more!
Ghosts were deceivers ever,
So listen to our music show
And be all blithe and clever!

By the road to the contagious sounds, we celebrate the arrival of the Spring with a set of songs devoted to one of our four favorite seasons.

We enter the world naked, uncertain of everything save that we enter!
And that it's THIS time of the year again... SPRING!

Which, at the House, means the time for LOVE,
the time for CLEANING THE THING ROOM,
the time Popoff gets allergic to Ashplant, Chrysanthemum and Asphodel pollen,
the time to grow new creatures in the four-dimensional bathtub,


the time for RAIN, acid or not,
the time when cobwebs bloom,
when spirits get high and the ravens return,
the time when Christs bloom in their crosses
when ouija boards say "oui" to love
and people shoot their albatrosses!

A terrible beauty is born! (Well, thank you, says The Thing).


(Popoff, right, and your Ghost indicating him where to plant the petunias)
