Tuesday’s A to Z challenge: “Y”
Event Type: General Blogging
Start Date: Tuesdays, recurring weekly
Description: Every Tuesday I offer the “A to Z challenge”, walking step by step through the alphabet.

Last week we had the “tagged X”-challenge, so this week we’ll create a new turn with “Y” – I’m sure you’ll also find a photo, a story or a music title tagged with “Y”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “Y”!!! Myself I’ll focus on the duck’s “Yas”:
YAS YAS YAS
Considering what to use for “Y” (yellow is too easy) I decided to learn the ragtime blues “The Duck’s Yas-Yas-Yas” as described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Duck’s_Yas-Yas-Yas – I hope you like my continuing tribute to the black music of the twenties, played on my metal Dobro (resonator) guitar (thanks to my friend Luzz, who added chromatic harp and double bass):

“The empty shoes and boots are the most intriguing to me.”

What fun! Yellow is always tempting, but too easy as you say. I’ve gone for some famous London guards. http://travelwithintent.com/2014/06/24/y-is-for-yeomen-warders/

hi Debbie,
“The Yeomen Warders, also known as Beefeaters, …” – P.S.: when I asked an Englishmen, why they are called “Beefeaters” he answered “because they eat beef” – I thought he was kidding me…

hi Sue,
“…It is reputed that the average age at death of the miners in Cwmystwyth was 32, largely because of acute lead poisoning. There is no longer any active metal mining in the Ystwyth valley.“ P.S.: thanks God, that nowadays no one is forced to work there…

Hi Frizz,
not yellow, but yaşıl, the Azerbaijani word for green. Here is the link to yaşıl bazar, one of my favorite markets in the city.

thank you for:
“Music is so alive, that it keeps you within the moment.
The absolute joy of playing and the spirit inside it’s
creation of symbiotic sounds, forges love, connection and
well-being into hearts and souls…”
