Ahhhh, that hits the spot!

 

So I was grazing on the internet looking into why Jim Crow is called Jim Crow and happened upon an article entitled "Jim Crow and the Blues".

Couldn't help but notice a song ("Jim Crow Blues") written by one  Charles Edward “Cow Cow” Davenport, who was best known for his successful and influential "Cow Cow Blues"

 

 The "Cow Cow" in the title referred to a train's cowcatcher (ouch!) !

So this is actually a TRAIN song: 🙃

Well, Elliot Carter wrote a ballet in 2 scenes called The Minotaur, beaking down the mythic narrative into 17 parts. Given that the whole comes in at around 33 minutes, you could say he milked it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yep, milked it.

Atom Heart Mother

Pink Floyd 

 

Actually many associated the main theme of the title track with a western soundtrack.

Definitely cow music!

"Albert Camus, The Plague." 

 

Camus, like the sounds cows make. Good book. Maybe great. And a fitting quote.

 

But sometimes I just wanna say "Hey Camus! Take a happy pill!"

Yes. This illustrates a phase of cowation: https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Cowation

 

Elvis Costello, pre and post cowation: eerie!

As for milking the Minotaur, file this one under "Cheese":

 

 

 

Musically speaking, imo, one could get a lot more mileage from... the Labyrinth:

 

Canonic Ballade on a Labyrinth, "En la maison Dedalus" Anon. ca. 1375

Here's a sad one ...    

 

On a wagon bound for market

There's a calf with a mournful eye ... 

 

 

 

 

good catch. I'm familiar with this song but didn't recall that.

 

On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye
High above him there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky

 

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly

 

cow and bird song...( but highly biased lyric! 🐮)

 

Turns out it's originally a Yiddish song from the 40s:
