Rite of Spring (not Stravinsky)

Barefoot season's coming back!
Coming back! Coming back!
When I'll get my foot soles black!
Really black! Really black!

Until then I'll feel hijacked.
Feel hijacked. Feel hijacked.
'Cause my poems are SO hack.
Really hack! Really hack!

 

Yeah looking forward to it. At the moment it seems that my feet are wet, wet, wet! All this wet to dry and wet again has made my heels sore and cracked..bring on the sun

 

The ground was WARM beneath bare feet!
Sun-kiss'd, warm ground is SUCH a treat!
Onlookers could not believe BARE FEET....
So, pissed, they beat a quick retreat.

 

Are you on any type of medication?

 

Gosh, no, dude! I get high on LIFE and God! Golly!.....:daisy:

 

it is slolwly coming back...i been BF all weeknd...and i been thinking..i want to climb some pyramids in my BF forwhatever reason...

 

Why not Stravinsky? After all, that can be barefoot, too, as the ensemble of the Tanztheater Wuppertal (Germany), led by the famous and (sadly) late Pina Bausch shows, performing her choreography, dancing barefoot on soil that has been spread on stage:

(Note to German members: the stupid German performing right society GEMA has made YouTube block this video in Germany, since it hasn't granted the music rights for this piece... you might want to use a proxy or proxy add-on like ProxTube to view it).

Wiggling bare toes, loving the feeling of soil beneath bare soles,

Unfortunatly He Isn't, But We Live In Hope....



Cheers Glen.

 

Jee, Unca Glen, I'm as straight-arrow as the USA! God Bless Us...Everyone!

 

Heck he's just one of our crazzzzy family. If I logged in here and didnt see one of his cosmic poems I'd think the site had been over moderated

 

screw stravinsky, let's listen to mussorgsky instead

Did you know that, in point of fact, Rimsky-Korsakov arranged that piece from a choral episode in an early Mussorgsky opera, "The Fair at Sorotchinsk"? In fact, much of what the public hears as Mussorgsky was arranged or outright recomposed by the relatively conservative older composer!
What??
The WRONG Forum???
This is the BAREFOOT Forum???
Oh, fuck ME.....

My bestest Mom:
Going barefoot's
THE BESTEST OMG!

 

fascinating... I didn't know about that. I did a little research after learning about this though, and it seems that Mussorgsky, not Rimsky-Korsakov, was the elder, though only slightly.

(from wikipedia)

Mussorgsky was born 3/21/1839, Rimsky-Korsakov 3/18/1844

the two had apparently been roommates for a time

I just listened to Mussorgsky's original piece. It's pretty good just as it is, but apparently it was never performed while he lived

 

We'll both get tossed from the Barefoot Forum if we keep this up. But, yes, Rimsky was extremely important as a conduit for other composers, just as Liszt was in Vienna. Part of the culture was arranging and "dumbing down" new music so that audiences might begin to accept it. And that pit of re-creation, kids, is where Leopold Stokowski clambered out of....which...there. And, hey, I'm going barefoot for a LONG walk tomorrow---gotta toughen those soles!

 

Actually reading this makes an interesting change :2thumbsup:

 

Seeing Another Side Of A Member Is Very Uplifting....



Cheers Glen.

 

Oh, such high praise... I think I'm blushing. :blush5:

It feels nice to inspire people to try something out, which is actually perfectly normal, but is still seen as something weird by most mainstream people. Most people I encouner just stare, but sometimes, I even get the most mainstram fashion-victim type teenagers to think and some of them openly stated their admiration for my bravery of being the different type person I am.

Keep up your barefooting (who am I kidding? You'd never stop it anyway ) and enjoy the feeling of our Mama Nature beneath bare soles.

Wiggling "weird" and happy bare toes, :sunny:

there's a barefoot season? I was barefooting it all winter, even into the low 30's and upper 20's Fahrenheit for short periods at a time.
