PHEW. Tryin' to get out the way as this yere contest is encroaching on Paternal WooHaw Day. Here we go, and that was tons of fun!
ANNOUNCEMENT
From amongst the many feenominal musics floating through these sweetly fogged atmosphere's and into the Eggplant's addled brains, she has finally selected a winner,
whose happy doner shall forthwith order up a 15 ML bottle of juice of choice from the fragrant KBV joose kitchens, compliments of herseff.
Said winner shall also contact Ciego, whomI will also contact, regarding the pimped-forward reward that I won by way of consolation in another venue. Ciago not gonna forgive me for this.
NOW, this thang was about PRETTY, that loathesome word which sits uneasily between "cute" and "beautiful."
Being a wordish person, I have peered at and keerfully examined the delicate contours of that word, which connotes a certain lightness of spirit, an unburdensome grace and lilty sweetness,
as opposed to things magnificent, sublime, impressively large, gorgeous, heartwrenching, heartily rousing, furious, solemn, emotionally fraught, hauntingly lovely, or in any way too beautifully weighty for Pretty's delicate little laigs to carry.
That meant that all sorta scintillating entries just hadda be eliminated.
This, and in accordance with my own assthetical sensibilities and dubious quirks, still leaves a goodlylist of True Pretties:
Runners Up:
Hangdude, for MAria on Spanish Geetar, Eric Johnson's Cliff's of Dover, and that Carter Fambly's Wildwood Flower
Dalton 63841 for Rasputina's Our Lies
Achtungbaby for Aerial (honeypie, your entries were phenomenal, but most on the intensely wonderful side past pretty)
Medic123 for One Love (2nd place, that was a hard call)
Maddoktor for Bobby Mcgee, Uncle John's Band
yssiM for Isao Tomita
chimney55 for Claderman's Ballade Pour Adeline, Yiruma's River Flows In you
and at the last minute
Brewzz, with Billie's Summertime.
I got's a LONG list of entries that were just too beautiful or intense to be PRETTY, and overarched the category, so don't you be thinkin Eggplant don't know her stem from her seeds,
although that's also entirely possible.
These included Maddoktor w/Freedom Song, beachpuff w/The Rose, the hangdude for America the Beautiful, Brewzz and Steeldragon for Bridge over Troubled W. and Tito and Tarantual, medic 123 for Imagine (!!), boB for Ring Them Bells, Brewzz for Hendrix and Nina Simone,
and all kinda wonders from yssiM,
and all sorta other great stuffs, for which I and we each other are and am Truly happy and Grateful.
But the WINNER, which I just couldn't stop goin' back too, on account of it so perfecty
prettily and artfully and pleasantly and lightly liltingly purely rolls along, and has for a lot of years, and which takes pretty to a whole new level even if you aren't stoned, and even though dammit the doner won the last contest too, IS:
Ripple. And Maddoktor.
(Honey, we need a whole new category if we talkin bout my MARROW...)
And I will contact Bob as soon as I can re arrangin' yer very own free bottle o' juice.
Can I go to the bathroom now?
LOVE HUGS Keep on Truckin and vapin' and being the sweetest, soulfullest people anywhere everybody.
Thanks Babe. She played a song for me, you see like Tommy I used to have really Long......
It's going to be close to 100 today and time for the water
