[There were countless skirmishes on the Great Lakes between ships and boats of
All makes and sizes during the War of 1812-14. "Well", Stan said, "we won the
Damned war but from some of the accounts you'd really have to wonder how!"]
The clothes men wear do give them airs, the fellows do compare.
A colonel's regimentals shine, and women call them fair.
I am Alexander MacIntosh, a nephew to the Laird
And I do distain men who are vain, the men with powdered hair.
I command the Nancy Schooner from the Moy on Lake St. Claire.
On the third day of October, boys, I did set sail from there.
To the garrison at Amherstburg I quickly would repair
With Captain Maxwell and his wife and kids and powdered hair.
Aboard the Nancy
In regimentals bright.
Aboard the Nancy
With all his pomp and bluster there, aboard the Nancy-o.
Below the St. Clair rapids I sent scouts unto the shore
To ask a friendly Whyandot to say what lay before.
"Amherstburg has fallen, with the same for you in store!
And militia sent to take you there, fifty horse or more."
Up spoke Captain Maxwell then, "Surrender, now, I say!
Give them your Nancy schooner and make off without delay!
Set me ashore, I do implore. I will not die this way!"
Says I, "You go, or get below, for I'll be on my way!"
Aboard the Nancy!
"Surrender, Hell!" I say.
Aboard the Nancy
"It's back to Mackinac I'll fight, aboard the Nancy-o."
Well up comes Colonel Beaubien, then, who shouts as he comes near.
"Surrender up your schooner and I swear you've naught to fear.
We've got your Captain Maxwell, sir, so spare yourself his tears."
Says I, "I'll not but send you shot to buzz about your ears."
Well, they fired as we hove anchor, boys, and we got under way,
But scarce a dozen broadsides, boys, the Nancy they did pay
Before the business sickened them. They bravely ran away.
All sail we made, and reached the Lake before the close of day.
Aboard the Nancy!
We sent them shot and cheers.
Aboard the Nancy!
We watched them running through the trees, aboard the Nancy-o.
Oh, military gentlemen, they bluster, roar and pray.
Nine sailors and the Nancy, boys, made fifty run away.
The powder in their hair that day was powder sent their way
By poor and ragged sailor men, who swore that they would stay.
Aboard the Nancy!
Six pence and found a day
Aboard the Nancy!
No uniforms for men to scorn, aboard the Nancy-o.
Stan Rogers (1949-1983) è stato un cantautore canadese di grande talento e sensibilità. Nato a Halifax, Nuova Scozia, Rogers ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70, conquistando rapidamente l'apprezzamento del pubblico con le sue canzoni folk che raccontavano storie di vita quotidiana, mariti e tradizioni canadesi. La sua voce calda e rassicurante, unita a una chitarra acustica dal suono inconfondibile, lo hanno reso uno dei cantautori più amati del Canada. Rogers ha pubblicato diversi album di successo, tra cui "North Country Blues" (1978) e "Fogarty's Cove" (1980), che contengono brani diventati classici come "The Mary Ellen Carter", "Barrett's Privateering" e "Northwest Passage". La sua musica ha contribuito a diffondere la cultura canadese in tutto il mondo, lasciando un'eredità musicale duratura. Rogers è morto tragicamente nel 1983 all'età di 34 anni, ma la sua musica continua ad essere ascoltata e apprezzata da generazioni di fan.

Il vient de loin, d'une terre riche de culture et de traditions millénaires, une terre qui surplombe le Pacifique, mais qui se baigne aussi dans les Caraïbes et qui ces dernières années est surtout connue pour les terribles nouvelles liées au trafic de drogue
C'était le 5 avril 1980 quand un groupe inconnu et sans nom a joué dans une église désacralisée de la ville universitaire d'Athens en Géorgie. À peine deux semaines plus tard, ils ont choisi un nom R.E.M. , et ilt ont sortiun single et en 1983 un album "Murmur".
Avec 7 albums à leur actif, le groupe est une source d'inspiration et de créativité au niveau mondial, au cours de ces 20 années il n'a cessé d'influencer le paysage musical et de créer des tendances.
Nous continuons donc à voir un balancement entre les festivals d'été et non, nous devons les annuler car nous ne pouvons pas garantir la sécurité.
Il sont 7, ils ont presque tous la vingtaine, ils aiment le post-rock et aussi expérimenter différents sons. Plus qu'un groupe, Black Country est une communauté.
J'ai l'impression qu'avant d'aborder le sujet traité dans cet article je dois faire une prémisse: le reggaeton n'est pas vraiment mon genre préféré, il se réfugie dans un rythme très banal avec des textes que 99% du temps décrivent la femme comme un objet disponible à l'homme macho.
