Shouldn't this be a 'hemp' canary.? One of the possible explanations for smuggling the seeds in the old days used to be that they are canary food product (which they happen to be) 

 

I don't know a lot about this sort of thing, notwithstanding having just watched all series of Narcos and now embarking on El Chapo. Thank you for the education!

THE MOST IMPORTANT BIRD SONG IN HISTORY ... ELSE WE'RE HISTORY!

 

"NO NUKES!"

The Crow On The Cradle [Sydney Carter]

 

From the liner notes of Lady Maisery's second CD 'Mayday' (2013):
The singing crow that perches on the baby's cradle in The Crow on the Cradle is perhaps the most foreboding symbol of warning on this album. Written by Sydney Carter during the height of cold war tensions, it is a bleak reminder of how the decisions we make impact the generations after us. The juxtaposition of vivid images of war, against those from nursery rhymes and lullabies, make this song particularly chilling for us.

 

The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn,
Now is the time for a child to be born.
He'll laugh at the moon and he'll cry for the sun,
And if he's a boy he will carry a gun,
𝄆 Sang the crow on the cradle. 𝄇

And if it should be that this baby's a girl,
O never you mind if her hair doesn't curl.
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
And a bomber above her wherever she goes,
𝄆 Sang the crow on the cradle. 𝄇

The crow on the cradle, the black and the white,
O somebody's baby is born for a fight.
The crow on the cradle, the white and the black,
O somebody's baby is not coming back,
𝄆 Sang the crow on the cradle. 𝄇

Your mother and father, they'll sweat and they'll save;
To build you a coffin and dig you a grave.
Hushabye, little one, never you weep?
For we've got a toy that will put you to sleep,
𝄆 Sang the crow on the cradle. 𝄇

Bring me a gun and I'll shoot that bird dead,
That's what your mother and father once said.
The crow on the cradle, what shall we do?
𝄆 This is the thing that I leave up to you. 𝄇

This is a good band! They do a great cover of Phil Gray's "Bluest Boy In Town". The vocal is such a good mimic - Parrot-close you could say!

This seems like a good juncture to reflect on James Burton's chicken pickin' style. I have the Album 'Corn pickin' and Slick Slidin'' on vinyl but not CD. The second video is James talking to some dudes in a guitar shop about how he makes his tele sound like a chicken ... then Johnny Hiland. imho that's what guitars were made for. Well - not just chicken noises. Trains too.
