My Dad was a Oiler on the Fitz.
We spent 2 Thankgivings on the Fitz '62 and '63. Dad went back into the Navy '65.
He cried hard when the Fitz went down... He knew a few on there.

This was sent to me by a friend on the anniversary of the death of the girl I was seriously dating before I met my wife. She died on the way to surprise me with a visit while I was in college and I found out that she was dead the next morning when her mom and dad showed up at my dorm room to let me know.

Makes you feel good after listening to it when your down.

Best to crank up the volume, and turn the monitor off so you don't laugh at the funny faces though.

Post by: bj229r on August 05, 2007, 07:15:56 PM: In my Hour of Darkness...Gram Parsons..
He died of excesses shortly after he recorded this with Emmylou Harris--his 2 best friends in the world had died close together, put him over the edge. Beautiful song. Damn near makes me cry every time I hear it
Quote
...in my hour of darkness, in my time of need
oh, Lord grant me vision, oh, Lord grant me speed
once I knew a young man
went driving through the night
miles and miles without a word
with just his high-beam lights
who'd have ever though they'd build
such a deadly Denver bend
to be so strong, to take so long as
it would till the end
in my hour of darkness, in my time of need
oh, Lord grant me vision, oh, Lord grant me speed
another young man safely strummed his
silver string guitar
and he played to people everywhere
some say he was a star
but he was just a country boy
his simple songs confess
and the music he had in him so very few possess
in my hour of darkness, in my time of need
oh, Lord grant me vision, oh, Lord grant me speed
then there was an old man, kind and wise with age
and he read me just like a book and he
never missed a page
and I loved him like my father
and I loved him like my friend
and I knew his time would shortly come
but I did not know just when
in my hour of darkness, in my time of need
oh, Lord grant me vision, oh, Lord grant me speed
oh, Lord grant me vision, oh, Lord grant me speed...

Post by: Black Sheep on August 05, 2007, 10:09:04 PM: I second Whiskey Lullaby:

If you haven't seen Paisley live, he shoots alot of the video that syncs behind his live show. And when this song plays, Alison comes up and sings her section behind the band (on screen only). Not a dry eye in the house. I was out on a few dates opening up for him in 2005. We waited to see that song every night...

I may be singing these soon, my papaw is in the hospital, they had to amputate part of his foot. It won't heal, there's no blood flow to it since they took out the vien in his leg for a heart bypass years ago. They are giving it two days to heal, if not, they will amputate the leg. They don't think he will survive the amputation. If he dies, I will sing these songs at his funeral, for they will be true in his case. I think they should give it more time to heal, but they won't. Tis a sad time in Tennessee. They certainly bring a tear to the eye, especially for me.

No Fred, thank you for the friendship we have enjoyed. I get a bad reputation that is both unwarranted, and unsolicited. I deal with it, and laugh at those who think of it as such (because those who know me, realize it). I care more about the Community, than the game itself. The game is a bonus for me.

Tim McGraw's new song "If You're Reading This" really hits home as well. I've got a few friends flying for Kalitta Charters whose job it is to fly soldiers to their final resting places. One of those very airplanes brought a friend of mine and one of my mother's former students to his home. I think it was especially hard on her since she liked him so much and was my age.

That said here is a video of Vince Gill's "Rest High on that Mountain" to the video of one of those soldiers. This video is worth a thread in itself I believe but I'll post it here for now. Someone posted this on another board I frequent and it brings tears to my eyes.

Good Lord I'm getting too old for the emotional pain anymore.

Lord in less than 5 Years you have taken my Brother, My Niece, My Father and now my Adoptive Father.. I'm left unemployed. Must I suffer more?
I throw my hands up. I am in so much pain.. I quit. Whatever you want from me show me a sign. Just please stop the pain. I submit.

Post by: Guppy35 on August 07, 2007, 12:52:28 PM: I came across this song by chance not long after two of my three kids died in a car wreck, now two years ago.

How he knows what it's like I have no idea but it's as close as it comes to describing how it feels. I know it was written in the wake of 9/11 (also my late daughter's birthday)

I can't listen to it without tears for my kids.

You're Missing-Bruce Springsteen

Shirts in the closet, shoes in the hall
Mama's in the kitchen, baby and all
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Coffee cups on the counter, jackets on the chair
Papers on the doorstep, you're not there
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Pictures on the nightstand, TV's on in the den
Your house is waiting, your house is waiting
For you to walk in, for you to walk in
But you're missing, you're missing
You're missing when I shut out the lights
You're missing when I close my eyes
You're missing when I see the sun rise
You're missing

Children are asking if it's alright
Will you be in our arms tonight?

Morning is morning, the evening falls I have
Too much room in my bed, too many phone calls
How's everything, everything?
Everything, everything
You're missing, you're missing

God's drifting in heaven, devil's in the mailbox
I got dust on my shoes, nothing but teardrops

Post by: AWMac on August 07, 2007, 12:56:47 PM: Thanks guys for the kind words... getting over the initial shock of things.

Taking new hard look at the things in my life and especially the important ones I've somehow over looked.

This is a great community. No matter how much we argue and bicker, you all have Heart. And I am glad to be a part of it.

Give it a listen if you've got a few minutes and tell me what you think.

I tried Sabre..

Best I could do on youtube was this cover...

Tim McGraw's new song "If You're Reading This" really hits home as well. I've got a few friends flying for Kalitta Charters whose job it is to fly soldiers to their final resting places. One of those very airplanes brought a friend of mine and one of my mother's former students to his home. I think it was especially hard on her since she liked him so much and was my age.

That said here is a video of Vince Gill's "Rest High on that Mountain" to the video of one of those soldiers. This video is worth a thread in itself I believe but I'll post it here for now. Someone posted this on another board I frequent and it brings tears to my eyes.

A fallen soldiers return home. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnp9idOEj4g)

It still makes you reminise on the past and on that, it puts a tear to your eye

Over the years I've never managed to find the right words to say to someone after something like this (Are there any?) You and yours are in my prayers

Well said Karaya,

Though I hadnt really thought about it that way before, I totally agree, it isnt the cartoon planes that keeps me around here, it's the guys (and gals) pulling the trigger, and what you all have to say about the world we live in that keeps me coming back.

You folks have broadened my horizons, and opened my eyes and mind far beyond anything I would have thought possible five years ago.

And for that I thank you all.

Sorry for the O.T. speel.....my song for the thread.

My feelings exactly

Met a lot of good people here that I can agree or disagree with but when one of us needs something, a kind word, some help of some kind, we tend to put any petty differences aside and come to each others aid.

I hope that never ends

speaking of community Dichotomy, I have to ask not to sidetrack from the thread....

you mentioned before being admin of some other boards, and the "communities" that surrounded them, what is your honest impression of this board compared to the many others on these interwebs?

personally I have yet to see a community this close, and active in real life with each other. have you ever witnessed something like this place?

<~~> sorry Mac I don't mean any disrespect in going off course. My prayers are still with you sir.~~
Title: Only the good songs can put a tear in your eyes.
Post by: Dichotomy on August 07, 2007, 10:46:34 PM: Only once and it fell apart when bickering and infighting became publicly acceptable.

Quite frankly I think this is the best administered board I've ever been on. The mods do not interact with the general populace and, when they see an infraction, they merely delete the post, thread, or replace it with 'see rule #whatever. Keep in mind this is not a kissa## to HTC I just think they do a good job of running the board and the game in general. Not perfect but pretty good overall.

I have, in fact, linked other board admins to this site as an example of how to moderate boards.

My personal rules of board behavior is when it's almost to the point of name calling and flinging insults take a moment and think about what you are saying. It takes conscious thought to type and hit enter or, for that matter, to hit the transmit key. If it's considered acceptable on that board then go for it. Kind of the 'when in Rome do as the Romans rule'. If you think someone is 'calling you out' for lack of a better phrase it's best to take it to pm's. We all tend to be defensive when we're called out in front of our peers whereas a behind the scenes conversation could reduce a lot of drama.

When I was modding and admin'ing sites I always approached the member in pm's first before I made a decision on them sticking around. That said, if they ignored me and continued to troll I punted and ip banned them.

I'm not saying I'm some tree hugging 'we are the world' singing humanitarian. Far from it in fact. Unless I 'know' you I'm pretty standoffish in real life. I do, however, always try to understand the other persons point of view before I lambast them for being uninformed dolts. The problem is once I label them as uninformed dolts I realize they are not worth my time arguing with or bothering to flame.

I'm not going to call any names here but there were members that I was warned about when I joined this board. Most of them have turned out to be ariticulate, intelligent, and generally engaging personalities. Perhaps not someone I'd go out of my way to visit but certainly people that make my grey cells move around a bit.

I'm also not going to say that there aren't some members I'd just as soon not read their drivel or see them in the air but that's the choice I made when I put my credit card on the line and joined this board. Frankly I just ignore them. Generally speaking they disappear fairly quickly and the core group of players stick around regardless of if they're actively flying or not.

I said once in the TA and I'll say it on the board. I don't particularly care if I'm the hottest stick in the game. I'll try to get better with practice and time. What I DO care about is my reputation with a group of people I've come to know and respect.

Of course that's just my opinion

AWMac: Yes, that's me, and thanks very much. By the way, I only just saw the reference to your recent loss. I'm sorry to hear about your dad; I'll keep you in my prayers. I'm blessed that both my parents are still with me, and try to make the most of every chance I get to see them.

Dichotomy: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. My wife has stuggled all her life with depression, and I wrote "Crying In Her Sleep" as a tribute to her.
