It’s Friday. Not just any Friday, but the last Friday of 2008...which makes this the last Friday Random Ten post of the year. Whoop-de-do.
It’s quiet at Chez Elisson. Almost too quiet. After having our nephew William and niece Madison here for the greater part of a week, the house seems empty and desolate after their departure an hour ago.
Perhaps some Randomly Selected Tunage will help fill the void. Let’s see what the iPod d’Elisson is pooping out this week:

- Three Is A Green Crown - The Incredible String Band
It’s hard to explain The Incredible String Band to anyone who wasn’t around in the late 1960’s...and even to those who were.
Not with the lips of skin
Nor yet with the lips of dark snow
But let the white dove sing
Of the body of life
Of the lover whose love is complete
Hold hands out to greet, ah
Let not the swan be brought low
For all that is moving is moved by her hands
She is mirrored forever in the life of the lands
In the building of thoughts in the shifting sands
Life life remembering
Well here you are now, O now you are here
Well how has it been so far
The hair and the fur
Lemons, frankincense, and myrrh
For all that is moving is moved by her hands
She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands
In the building of thoughts in the shifting sands
Let the cracked crystal raindrop be merged in the sea
Silent shining thoughtless free
But close your eyes to find the golden flower
And open them to see the sunshine shower
Where the flowers are free and the fishes ask
Ah what can water be
She beareth thought, she beareth visions
Speaking truth in contradictions
Dreams of pain, dreams of laughter
And every action follows after
O second self, O gate of the soft mystery
I’ll love you if you’ll love me; O guide me
With the gold of Gabriel’s wing. Grant me the tongue
That all the earth does sing
Vibrating light forever one the sun
The book of life is open to us
