  1. Excellent rbeason. a favorite of mine. And I needed to hear that now anyway. Thanks rbeason I apprecate this post

    1. you are welcome…
      diggerdan…..you and I and all the others on this site who love music have so many beauties up our sleeves that if Henry and laura played them all…why this site might eclipse you tube itself for the place to go . for music………LOL
      Bless the music world…It, in purity, does not require a language, just the notes on a scale and a musician to perform them….
      cheers

      1. Yes Rbeason you are realy good with your music but we here listen to music as a break from what is really hapening ya know. Yes we have some of the best music out there in my own opion rbeason but that is not what this site is about, the music is a big part of what this site is about IMOHO and that is what is what makes this site so good and special.

        The world would be a F up place without music like this and The Trenches reconizes that and that is a part of what makes The Trenches so powerfully special.
        The Trenches is honest

        1. digger my comment of music was in jest, fun, not reality…..you needn’t remind me of what this site..thetrenches is for…Christ ol mighty man, you are forgetting who I am……..a combat vet of Nam. Draftee… US Army 1969…US56639487….and tell you what partner…you weren’t there…I Was…..
          And You Are Telling Me I’am Forgetful!!!
          I’ll be got-damned…………if I am

          1. Back off me son rbeason beacuse you do not even know me to be talkin that to me
            I am a a
            Angel that did time for people a lot bigger than you rbeason!!!! and that is a fact son
            bite your toungue
            I know a lot of vets a lot older than you !! Buy thebway do not call me partner with your attitude rbeason I been there too GRRR

          2. look diggerdan…don’t get on my case of you knowing me……..cause you don’t. anything I have eversaid of you on the trenches is in response and to my own defense……of what you said of me….
            I am not on your case digger….got it!
            And if you don’t like that digger…I can really get on it.Your case)..a pissing contest as you like to say….how stupid!….for some reason it’s up your ally to go after rbeason….I told henry to give you my email…should you not want it…then shut up! of ME!
            rbeason

          3. Yea I got it and I do not have anything to prouve either – maybe I will reply when I see something to reply to that is something that I can see that I can reply to as you have nothing at this point to reply to.
            Yea rbeason I will not give out your mail address as I am safe with it but you are a arrogant asshole and I will not have anything to do with the sorts of that.
            Like I said I associate with a lot older people and mature people than what you appear to be. Case closed rebeason. till later think about it – back off!!!

  2. Certainly, Paul
    And there are moments that, I’m reminded, doesn’t it all sorta run together as one?..How can that be, when an art piece is so many years back? Tis easier now with technology, than say, 200 yrs ago, without even photography for an anchor…still, the times then, sorta ran together…via, portrait artists, and printers too….who did exist then….
    today, all of us are fortunate to have the techniques at hand, nearly at a moment’s notice…and for all of us living, youthful people also…that’s a blessing for good….tks paul

  3. diggerdan…….I was never on for me to back off…of yourself…
    Arrogant? Not.!…your words do yourself in….
    think….michael jackson…the man in the mirror

        1. OK, that said, be cool rbeason – be cool – like I said I did my time too a very long time ago before you did for other SOB`s and I never one time got a f`n thankyou for it grr.

          1. you know what digger, it’s understood…and although i know nearly nothing…of it…I trust your communication… of it to me…and thank you for it…..
            life is not fair, nor was it or has it been for myself…I have no hard feelings for you…just the opposite

          2. be cool…ok
            as a person seeing through the cracks..get off the what ever it is, at least to the point “it” renders you to being not yourself….may it be booz, weed, street drugs, perscription, and so forth…digger.
            I may be one of your best fans…since I have been here. You are a hard worker. And I don’t even know you…I do believe you are a real person as you describe, and that, well, is, important….haven’t the least idea of your every day life, nor am I asking for it….rbeason

          3. Rbeason maybe I will mail ya.
            I am a ole boy tha tyou would never even begin to understand ya want to get down to it.
            yea i am a old time H A and that is That and most people have nothing good to say about good people like me. Now maybe ya`ll undertand why I wouldn`t hurt a fly but would have no prob with a human POS.
            I have be run through the gutter too deep and too long for other people. Yea I am one of thoes old H Angels – Ya still want to get to know me rbeason in all due respect ?? yea even my security question was 13 👿
            You reply and maybe I will mail ya with al due respect too

    1. Hi James I hope you do find out! I’m sure then I’ll hear some Tull. 🙂 I don’t know how to either. 🙁

      1. Yep,you can count on it,and will be some of the best that rarely if ever makes the radio but the ones true fans(us smarter/better looking types!)will immediately recognize!Really getting ready for next snow drop,seems the winter has a death grip in the hills of New England,tis fine,next years wood cut and stacked and the little dragon huffing out some nice heat,that said,a dose of spring will be welcome!

          1. Eh,gets to be a bit tiresome,even though I believe the seasons make one stronger,at this point willing to be a wuss!

        1. You go James 🙂 Can’t wait to hear some! 🙂
          Yea keep warm my friend, I swear this winter is the worst I’ve seen in a long while 🙁
          Costing a small fortune for heating, not to mention all that shoveling 🙁

          1. Les,check out sites like builditsolar,a lot of cool home made stuff one can build for short money.may not heat the whole house/water depending on how you go but can easily cover half without a lot of work,not talking the pain in butt roof installs either,the main page has a lot of good stuff.Times will be getting tougher and the more we get off the matrix(I took the blue and red pill!)the better we can stand on our own!

          2. Builditsolar I’ll be sure to check it out. My house is a two storey Victorian, it is 100+ years old and insulation back then was practically non-existent. I’m completly and only electric heat and have to get alternatives. This cold winter really hit the pocketbook! Thanks for the heads up on that.

          3. Hi Paul James is the one you should thank. He’s the one who gave me the heads up on builditsolar. But happy to hear your comments, I’ll be checking it out myself for sure.

          4. thanks lespaul…. changed it. brain fart. 🙂 I have been having a lot of those lately.

          5. Hey Paul I’m have them also, more and more lately 🙂 :-). Has to be the shi**y weather. 🙂

          6. Hey lespaul. my excuse is age. Hey I love my false teeth, love my glasses, and i’m sure i will love my hearing aids which i need now, but don’t have the bucks to get. haha. hmmm now where are those damn glasses. ❓

    2. James & LesPaulPlayer,
      I don’t know how to post songs from personal collections. I do a search of the the song that I want to post, chose the rendition I prefer, then copy & paste it in an email to Henry (for a stand alone post). Sometimes, I do the same but, paste it as a comment. Hope that helps. 🙂

      1. Why thank you Angel. Very nice of you. I’m not sure if I am allowed to post yet, but maybe in the comments. I know how to paste text but I’m not sure about song videos. I guess I’ll have to try and see. Thanks Angel. 🙂

        1. Give it a shot. 🙂 Henry’s email is in the “Authors/Contact” @ the top of the page.
          Meanwhile, let me know which tune. I’ll send it in.

          1. Hi Angel I saw your first comment and thought you were asking James. There are so many, I’d start with either Mountain Men (From Crest of a Knave)
            or Locomotive Breath (From Aqualung).
            Thanks I’ll see tomorrow, I have to go now, but will be back tomorrow. Thanks Angel and Good night to you and James

          2. No loco breath,might as well play wont get fooled again/stairway to freebird/dreamon ect.,please a little imagination,promise will get a classic on hopefully tommorow night,no run of the mill hits!

          3. Morning James. Yea Locomotive Breath I know what you are saying. My reason for suggesting that, is twofold: I was pressed for time and off the top of my head thought those two songs related somewhat to this site and reason for being, kind of like the situation we’re in today, being on a runaway locomotive with “no way to slow down”.
            Second reason was that I know not all people here are die-hard fans like us and wanted to offer something they probably knew but haven’t heard in a while, you know, kind of easing them to Tull without getting into the more esoteric right off the bat, if you will. I do have some imagination and there are better ones that we know, but I didn’t want to turn them off starting out. Later James

        2. my i would say this, the owners of this site are open to people, not stats…and so should you like it’s my belief they will allow you a post but first you must ask to post…..bout, that simple….

  4. diggerdan…I wrote a comment to you….after your last, It did not take and destroyed itself…..I don’t much like computers but here we are…
    What I said was…you are welcome in my world…should you like to be…I do my best not to judge people…If I’m worth my grain of salt as I turn 99, god willing, I ask that my past will have been filled with times of when I was able to give for there’s not a hell of a lot more so to living than that……of when one is able to!

    1. Ok rbeason, expect a mail from me then in the next day or so perhaps if they haven`t locked me up or murdered me – and I mean it – it is not a joke with me or them pigs !!

    2. Les & Paul.done a bit of home made solar type stuff(licensed carpenter) for friends ect.The build site is a great one,old mother earth articles also a good source and old school,i.e. simple and cheap.Les,as you have a old victorian lady need to know roughly were located,sun exposure ect.,a bit of a challenge as only electric heat.I would without knowing the home say insulation and serious draft spots the first step if not already taken,will hit you up on specifics another night,think about it though,you guys hit up a few small projects one step closer to eating the blue and red pill and kissing the matrix goodbye/off the power grid tit or at least a step closer,where is Tesla when we need him?!

      1. Yea I know the first thing is insulation for sure, got to take care of that first. But need another source of heat for sure, and I certainly will look into the site you gave me. I have to go with my budget.Thanks again James.

      1. Yep, could be, I think that I`m letting this one alone. Not very smart posting a phone number on the internet for all to see and that is for sure.
        That is a real good way for rbeason to get a lot of nusance ph calls day and night not even to mention those damned telemarketers.
