TRASHCAN SINATRAS
Once upon a time in a magical land, where the Scottish Crossbill sings and the ancient Fortingall tree grows, a band of humans came together and became the Trashcan Sinatras.
Mama gnome has listened to them for years, long before the tube of yous and the book of faces and the twitterings of electronic birds.
The Trashcan Sinatras woke up Mama gnome from an afternoon stupor when she heard Funny.
And Mama gnome said, "What? What wondrous music is this doth stir this gnome's soul?"
And she was hooked.
Their first album, named after Mama gnome's own heart, was called "CAKE."
And the world listened to Obscurity Knocks and Only Tongue can Tell.
And like all heroes, they too were tested. John Douglas, guitarist, described the 'indoor years' that started in 1997.
Yet they remained stalwart humans and amidst their struggles they continued to create poetic, out of this world music with songs such as How Can I Apply , Snow , A Coda and thankfully countless more. Mama gnome will have to fill out scroll after scroll for all of them.
Whenever Mama gnome felt depressed because of earthwarming and diminishing rain forests of the Amazon, she would listen to Weightlifting and her spirits will rise.
All the Dark Horses evokes images of the magnificent animals running free on the Andalusian plains.
In the earth years of nine and two thousand, the Trashcan Sinatras, brought forth their sixth album called IN THE MUSIC which features one of Mama gnome's favorites, Apples and Oranges.
The new album also contains the song, People, which stirs quiet wishing from Mama gnome for a song called, Gnomes.
But Mama gnome wished for more. Her quest: to find the elusive Trashcan Sinatras.
And so Mama gnome accompanied by loyal Daddy gnome traveled and passed through the desert.

They admired Rock formations evocative of a certain planet (cough) Vulcan!

They traversed the highway of cement where the gnome car passed through the carpool lane, and other cars parked on the other side of the freeway. You see or rather smell greenhouse gases hard at work.

They passed this.

And Mama gnome thought, "What manner of woman is this Beverly to have hills named after her?"
Mama gnome later realized she did not see any hills whilst they drove through the Hills of Beverly. At least not the geographical kind. Pardon the smart alecky Mama gnome.
They stopped at this junction, where they were taking pictures of humans for free if they crossed whilst the light was red.
Daddy gnome didn't want free pictures that day.
He said, "You can have as many free pictures you want, Mama gnome, when you're the one driving the gnome car." Poor sport.

Until finally, the gnomes forced to park their car ten blocks away, returned to this path.

The Fates smiled down at Mama gnome for she saw one of the humans from Trashcan Sinatras.

So Mama gnome armed only with the fire in her heart approached him...
And in the manner of hanging from a cliff, Mama gnome will post the second scroll to narrate her adventures.
Please visit Mama gnome's blog soon to find out what happens when she enters the abode of The Troubadour.
Is this a plot set by the giants to trap Mama gnome?
Will she succeed in her quest for the Trashcan Sinatras? And what does Daddy gnome have to say about that?
In the interest of full disclosure and staying green, Mama gnome is not in the habit of driving frequently, she hardly ever has to. She counts herself very lucky.
She has only been to two concerts in the last seven years and this is that second concert. The first one was Coldplay. And it'll probably be years before she goes to another one.
In the meantime please, help all the Dark Horses and lift the weight off your spirit and REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE...
Go Greeen!
