Sutter’s Mill ~ Dan Fogelberg [ CC ] 58th

Dan wrote this song on his 33rd birthday in Maine, Happy Birthday Dan! "Movie time again. Strange how most of my Maine songs have been written in Colorado and some of my most western pieces (like this one) were written in Maine. I wrote this on my birthday, 1984. It's not completely historically accurate but I plead poetic license." (Dan Fogelberg) Sutter's Mill written by Singer/Songwriters Dan Fogelberg, from "High Country Snows" album (1985) also included in "Portrait - The Music of Dan Fogelberg" 4-CD Box Set, Disc 4. He always loved traditional country/folk/bluegrass music. After a visit to the legendary Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Dan was inspired to do an album of songs he had in him for a long time....the result is a great album that has captured the heart and soul of American country music. "Sutter's Mill" is one of the best songs on the album, the song tells the story (just like the old traditional songs used to) of young James Marshall & old John Sutter discovering gold in California in the 1847~1848 and beginning the infamous gold rush. The Sutter's Mill modern reconstruction is well kept in Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park @ Coloma California. Special thank Bobby for Dan's liner notes. Sutter's Mill ~ Dan Fogelberg (Lyrics) In the spring of Forty-seven so the story it is told Old John Sutter went to the mill site and found a piece of shining gold Well, he took it to the city where the word like wildfire spread And old John Sutter soon came to wish hed left that stone in the river bed For they came like herds of locusts...every woman, child and man In their lumbering Conestogas they left their tracks upon the land (Chorus) Some would fail and some would prosper Some would die and some would kill Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance And some would curse John Sutters mill Well, they came from New York City and they came from Alabam With their dreams of finding fortunes in this wild, unsettled land Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows as they tried to cross the plains And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains with their hands froze to the reins (Chorus) Well, some pushed on to California and others stopped to take their rest And by the spring of Eighteen-sixty they had opened up the West And then the railroad came behind them and the land was plowed and tamed When Old John Sutter went to meet his maker, hed not one penny to his name (Chorus) And some would curse John Sutters Mill Some mens thirsts are never filled

Challenger shuttle disaster – RAW UNCUT footage

A news cameraman was despatched to film what SHOULD have been a routine puff piece - reaction shots of the interested parties in the bleachers, at the latest shuttle launch. What he ended up filming was EXTRAORDINARY... [more below] As the shuttle exploded, 74 seconds in, those who were familiar with launches knew their relatives and loved ones were DEAD - however, those attending their first launch initially assumed the explosion was merely separation of the vehicle's stages. Thus, as some faces became wreathed with PAIN - others were still in awe at the majesty of it all. But as word of what had ACTUALLY happened began to spread through the crowd like a slow cancer - those faces too became angst-ridden. Meanwhile, the cameraman carried on doing his JOB - scanning the crowd for reaction shots. When his work was aired on the evening news bulletins, it had been cut down to a few seconds of sterile clips - but this is his FULL UNCUT footage. It is followed by a piece, recorded shortly AFTER the disaster, where British media hack Alastair Stewart interviews a young woman named Heather Couper, who was the president of the British Astronomical Association. She only JUST manages to hold herself together. This is the most moving video I have ever seen.
