After an enjoyable day trip to Vienna, it was back to Budapest on the Monday. We decided to explore the Buda side of the River Danube, and to get there we had to cross the Chain Bridge. Sculpted by János Marschalkó, the lions famously "lack tongues," a myth stemming from a story that the sculptor was so upset by the criticism at the opening he jumped in the river (he didn't, and the tongues are just hidden)!
In between the lions you can see St Matthias Church and the Fisherman's Bastion over in Buda - we were to visit them later in the day.
Nothing like listening to a bunch of old songs with the word 'chain' in the title.
From left is Sam Cooke's woeful hit from 1960 called Chain Gang, which peaked at No.2 on the US Billboard charts and at No. 9 in the UK.
Next is the song Chains, written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, recorded by The Beatles for their first album, Please Please Me released in 1963. It was only released as an album track with lead vocals by George Harrison.
Aretha Franklin's Chain of Fools was released in 1968 and reached No.2 on the US Billboard charts and No. 1 on the US Billboard R&B charts cementing Aretha's standing as the Queen of Soul. An amazing song by an amazing singer.
Ball and Chain is the Big Mama Thornton song recorded live and released in 1968 on the album Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & the Holding Company. It proved that Janis Joplin could do justice to the blues with her powerful rendition of the song.
The Pretenders were a proto-punk/ new wave band led by guitarist-songwriter Chrissie Hynde. They released Back on the Chain Gang in 1982. It reached No. 7 on the US Billboard charts and No. 17 in the UK. I remember this song getting a lot of air play, at least in southern Ontario.
We're Here looks at Chains today.
Triple Irish Chain quilted donated for a fundraiser - Bike & Build 2009
My nephew & about 30 others will bike from Providence to San Francisco and help to build homes for Habitat for Humanity along the way. PHEW!
I donated the quilt to be auctioned off to help raise money for this event.

I found this poor little bird chained next to a shop probably to attract the attention of bypassing tourists- which worked pretty well I must say. He seemed completely disturbed and behaved quite abnormal constantly twitching and jumping around. No wonder: can't be the best life he's living chained to that small pole.
I love to mix older fabrics from my stash with a few prints that I just bought. So far I used over eighty different fabrics for the project.
