Hey Bruce, cheers for the heads-up on the romanisation topic on the forums. :) I see you're a poet and author...cool! I love to write, but I'm not sure my writings pass muster.--[[User:Yim Kai-mun|Yim Kai-mun]] 02:01, 8 April 2007 (CDT)


== Caliphate ==
Bruce, will you send me an email address so I can show you what Soleiman sent.  I'm at Anthony_Sebastian@msn.com.  Thanks.  [[User:Anthony.Sebastian|Anthony.Sebastian]] 22:34, 28 April 2011 (CDT)
 
My Oxford Dictionary gives the form without the 'h' too, but Wikipedia spells it with an 'h' in its articles on both Caliph & Caliphate, so it's probably just an alternative transcription. Unfortunately there's so far no Arabic at [[CZ:International]]. [[User:Ro Thorpe|Ro Thorpe]] 10:46, 25 February 2008 (CST)
 
Of course I only noticed the final ‘h’ – I blame the pesky italics… I googled around a bit, and it would seem that 'khilafah' is indeed the –ate version, as you suggested. As for which page to use, I think it’s better to use the addressee’s talk page, as it announces ‘you have new messages’. Nice talking to you - [[User:Ro Thorpe|Ro Thorpe]] 16:45, 25 February 2008 (CST)
 
==Gonzales==
Check out Gonzales now.  I think I fixed it by editing the page.  Sometimes the categories do not take after the metadata pages is changed until a minor edit to the article page helps resolves the categories.  I'm not sure why that is the case. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] 13:17, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
:Bruce, nice job slogging through all those abc changes. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] 17:14, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
 
== Townes Van Zandt ==
As a poet, I am sure you would love some of the lyrics of [[Townes Van Zandt]]. He was much more a poet and not such a good singer.  Check out some lyrics on the web.  The likes of Willy Nelson, John Prime, Lyle Lovett, EmmyLou Harris and many others have covered his tunes.
 
Look for these lyrics for a few good samples:
* Flyin' Shoes (covered by Lyle Lovett, who sang it at Townes' funeral)
* Tecumseh Valley (crushing dispare)
* Pancho and Lefty (made famous by Willie Nelson)
* When He Offers His Hand (Gospel)
* White Freight Liner Blues
* No Place to Fall (wife and I love to play this one)
* If I Needed You (covered by several people)
 
Here's ''Maria'', really depressing:
 
Artist: Townes Van Zandt
Album: No Deeper Blue
By townes van zandt
 
I stood in line and left my name
Took about six hours or so
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
Said they'd let me know
I put in my time till the pocono line
Shut down two years ago
I was staying at the mission till I met marie
Now I can't stay there no more
 
Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man
To move some old cars around
Maybe me and marie could find a burned-out
Van and do a little settlin' down
Aw, but I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride
And the junkyard's a pretty good ways
That job's about a half week old besides
It'd be gone now anyway
 
Unemployment said I got no more checks
And they showed me to the hall
My brother died in georgia some time ago
I got no one left to call
Summer wasn't bad below the bridge
A little short on food that's all
Now I gotta get marie some kind of coat
We're headed down into fall
 
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good
Hustled up a little dough
But I got drunk and I woke up rolled
A couple of months ago
They got my harp and they got my dollar
Them low life so and so's
Harps cost money and I ain't got it
It's my own fault I suppose
 
The pocono's down but the chesapeak's runnin'
Two freights everyday
If it was just me I'd be headed south
But marie can't catch no train
She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby
Says we gotta wait and see
In my heart I know it's a little boy
Hope he don't end up like me
 
Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file
I gotta stand in line again
I want to kill him but I just say no
I had enough of that line my friend
I head back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold
I'm feelin' too low down to lie
I guess I'll just tell marie the truth
Hope she don't break down and cry
 
Marie she didn't wake up this morning
She didn't even try
She just rolled over and went to heaven
My little boy safe inside
I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them
Caught a chesapeak on the fly
Marie will know I'm headed south
So's to meet me by and by
 
Marie will know I'm headed south
So to meet me by and by
