  • Bio

    ................ .. .. .... .... .. ..1. "The ring-tailed roarer appears in early Southwestern humor as one of ... most unforgettable characters...one of the first great clowns of Southwestern humor, appearing in ... 1835... the first in a long line of ugly, violent and comical anti-heroes of this genre. ...who corrupts the more respectable characters ... through his deception. [His] appearance is in keeping with his character--described by the narrator as having fed copiously upon red clay and blackberries. This diet had given to Ransy a complexion that a corpse would have disdained to own, and an abominal rotundity that was quite unprepossessing. Long spells of the fever and ague, too, in Ransy’s youth, had conspired with clay and blackberries to throw him quite out of the order of nature. His shoulders were fleshless and elevated; his head large and flat; his neck slim and translucent; and his arms, hands, fingers, and feet were lengthened out of all proportion to the rest of his frame. His joints were large and his limbs small; and as for flesh, he could not, with propriety, be said to have any. Those parts which nature usually supplies with the most of this article--the calves of the legs, for example-presented in him the appearance of so many well-drawn blisters. His height was just five feet nothing; and his average weight in blackberry season, ninety-five." ..4.1 "...indicative of the change from youth to manhood. While the teeth are being knocked out an instrument known as a roarer is swung round so as to produce a loud humming noise. The uninitiated are not allowed to see this instrument. Women are forbidden to witness the ceremonies under pain of death. It is given out that the youths are each met in turn by a mythical being, called Thuremlin (more commonly known as Daramulun) who takes the youth to a distance, kills him, and in some instances cuts him up, after which he restores him to life and knocks out a tooth." .. Roarer n. flat, oval shaped piece of wood with a double string attached to one end. It is spun over the head by the other end of the string in sacred Aboriginal ceremonies. The sound is a hauntingly beautiful whirring, caused by the wood spinning as air moves across it, and the string twists and untwists. .. 3. "Non-stop to Coventry, mk1s and an early series ’roarer’ AC electric. I would sit in the front coach compartment, dim the lights, open the droplight, open a can and then just watch the sparks - used to fly along and always early into Coventry where, in those days, I had to change due to no Birmingham International." .. 1.5. primitive ritual musical instrument and means of communicating over extended distances. ..5.7 "My mother’s buckskin is a roarer. A friends horse is a roarer and he had the tie back op done (as a 2 year old). When he was worked work hard you could hear him breathing... we did have to watch his breathing and sometimes we whould got comments from people at shows asking if he was ok...:) ..

  • Influences

    "The fun really began on the way back when our roarer failed around Norton Bridge and was assisted by a 47/3." .. "... later in the evening vast crowds were out for 40122 return to service tour. 20172/20163 took me to Leicester whilst the Stranraer/Fort Bill was joined at Nuneaton with the usual appalling wedge but ..roarer.. power."

  • Sounds Like

    a loud humming noise. .. Sounds like we could STILL use a little bit better recording. 1. One who, or that which, roars. Specifically: A riotous fellow; a roaring boy. "A lady to turn roarer, and break glasses. .." (Massinger) A horse subject to roaring. See Roaring. 2. .. The barn owl. ..
