Guest #1 January 9, 2010 Folks, In a few short days I will mark four years away from the USA. In those four years, I have been home in Seattle a total of 35 days. Here is a beautiful song that I'm sending out to all my expatriate fellows (that includes you, mnealtx) - those who've willingly forsaken their homes and loved ones to lead hard, lonely lives, far overseas. Joni Mitchell - The Urge for Going mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joni Mitchell - The Urge for Going mh . Great song! I first heard this as done by Tom Rush. I learned the song and then forgot about it years ago. I still have the album so I'll be digging it out for another listen. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murrays 0 #3 January 9, 2010 What a great Joni song Mark. Thank you very much. I was quite surprised I'd never heard it before and that the video was from early in her career so I did some googling. Originally recorded by Tom Rush in 1968, her version was released in 1972 as a B-side of a single. First time on an album wasn't until 1996 on her "Hits" compilation.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #4 January 10, 2010 I read that 3 times and read "John Mitchell's "The Urge for Going" you're looking good there John You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niki1 1 #5 January 10, 2010 That is a really pretty one and I'm not even a Joni Mitchel fan. But I prefer Jimmy Buffets "Cowboy in the Jungle" for the expat sentiment. But I'm from Fla. Living in Robeson County North Carolina is an awful lot like living in a third world country. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.
