I'd been entertained and enchanted by the many of the 150 or so small concerts Andrew Bird performed on Instagram during the pandemic. Then I heard his new album, Inside Problems, and invited him to the desk. It had been six years since his first Tiny Desk performance, which was with a band; this time, I wanted an intimate solo performance. He and Iron & Wine's Sam Beam were becoming friends and touring together, and Andrew's idea was to have Sam perform on the final tune. But as they played together night after night on tour, that one song turned into four, and an Andrew Bird and Iron & Wine Tiny Desk was born.


This concert occurred near the end of a nearly 30-city tour postponed by COVID. The two met in the waters of Yosemite in 2021, and I wouldn't be surprised to see more from this musical friendship in the years to come.


Ozzy: Well, it was Geezer Butler, the bass player of Sabbath who brought me the lyric. And what it was about, was a guy who travels through time, and he goes to the future, and he sees the demise of mankind. On the way back to the present time, he goes through this macabre thing, and he gets turned to iron. And he gets so frustrated trying to warn mankind about this impending doom, that he ends up losing it and he starts killing everybody himself.


The Black Sabbath song was an original composition by the band based on the concept of someone who travelled in time back from the future, but was turned to immobile steel upon arrival. It just happened to share a name with the Marvel comics character, who is not generally regarded as a time traveller or immobile (although he has probably had adventures where he satisfied either of those conditions).


Ozzy reported upon hearing the riff that would become the famous, or infamous depending on your disposition, said it sounded like "an man made of iron walking around. .. Geezer, or Tommy, can't remember, liked the sound of 'iron man' so they wrote the lyrics around the name.. rest is history.


In the month of September, the seventeenth day,

two dollars and a quarter was all they would pay.

And on Monday morning the Bridgeport did take

the E. C. Roberts out into the lake.

Derry down, down, down, derry down.


Next morning we hove in along the Exile,

and soon was made fast to an iron ore pile.

They lowered their chutes and like thunder did roar.

They spouted into us that red iron ore.

Derry down, down, down, derry down.


As difficult as the game can be, the environments are where Song of Iron truly shines. Artistically, this video game is stellar. From ascending a snowy mountain, to traversing forests and killing goblins in caves, the seamless and ever-changing environments give you the sense that your character has been on a long journey. I was most impressed by the mirrored-effects in the water, and the use of lighting, silhouettes, and shadows.


The scenery is quite realistic and I found myself taking photos often. The screen has minimal HUD so as not to detract from the beauty of the game such as an epic encounter with a dragon which was my favorite scene.


There were minimal issues within Song of Iron. I noticed a few spelling and grammatical errors throughout the game, but I forgive the sole-developer for being an artist and not a writer. Though, if he needs someone to help edit, I volunteer as tribute. Additionally, some of the controls were unresponsive, leaving my character standing in place taking damage from enemies. I also had to restart once due to an error I made in getting a box stuck in the wrong direction. Lastly, I felt aiming the bow to shoot arrows was a bit tedious and slow as well.


Okay, on a whim, I just checked the Wikipedia page for the song, and of course, reread the description of the pistol that inspired it.



The description of the pistol has changed again.



About the only things that have stayed consistent about the description are that it is a Great Western revolver with Colt 1860 grips. Everything else about how it is described there has changed.



Originally, it was a .45 Colt. Now it's a .44 Magnum. Originally the barrel was cut down from a Marlin rifle. Now it says a Winchester 92. Barrel length has grown from 10 to 12 inches.



I know some people here have said they have seen the gun. I think even the owner chimed in once. But I can't remember for sure. Does anyone here know he actual configuration of the pistol? Pics are probably too much to ask for, but I'd really like to know for sure what it is. Why the curiosity? Well, I guess I want to know how close mine is to the original. I know it's not exact, but I do want to know for sure.


The song was released in 1960. In 1959, which would be the latest Mr Robbins could have seen the "Big Iron" which inspired the song, there was no 45 Colt rifle. Not by Winchester, not by Marlin, not by anybody. Kind of difficult for him to cut down a Marlin rifle barrel to put on his 45 Colt pistol.


If you look back at articles on the internet about about "Big Iron" you'll see Great Western frame, 9.5" barrel from a Marlin (no where does it say a .45 Marlin), and Army grip; that's it. The only person that knows for sure now what it looks like is the collector that owns it. I think it was mis-attributed as a .45 after Robbins told the story to a few people but it was actually a 44-40; but that's just my opinion.


If a common blacksmith could take your front stuffer revolver and convert it to cartridge I'm pretty sure they could get a barell with the proper bore tucked into the front of your pistol with just a bit o file work.


I was in high school when that song came on the scene and the first thing I thought of was a ranger toting a 7.5 in barrel Colt SAA. I don't think he could have beaten Mr Shorty's short barrelled Bad .44 though.


This one is MY Big Iron, inspired by the Wiki description of the one that inspired the song.



Mine is an Armi San Marco, Pietta 1860 grips, and a barrel cut down from a Rossi 92. I always envisioned the "real" one to have the octagon barrel. But someone once posted here who said they had seen the original and it has a round barrel.



Mine is a .45, but I can believe that the original was a .44 Magnum with a .44-40 barrel. If whoever owns the original is here, or if someone here knows the person who has it, I would REALLY like to get a photo of it next to mine.



Hey, a man can dream.


@Blaze Kinkaid, SASS #253 Life/Reg also spoke up in that thread indicating he knew some people who knew a bit about the gun. The names he gave were Jim Martin and Bob Arganbright. Those don't appear to be SASS aliases. Does anyone know them?


Arizona Rangers had to buy (or Make) their own guns until the Arizona Territory became a STATE on February 14, 1912. Then the Rangers were issued a Colt Six-Shooter. This is the Original "Big Iron" on his hip. Prove me wrong!!


For about a year now, I've enjoyed "Work Songs" - an album by the Porters Gate Worship Project. The project's coordinator, Isaac Wardell, saw a lack of songs or hymns that helped Christians understand their work within God's larger work in the world. The reality is that each theological tradition emphasizes one aspect of the Christian life. For example, evangelicals classically emphasize a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. So All Sons and Daughters, another amazing band, will sing "Oh, Lord I need you." These evangelical songs are full of worship: Oh, Great is our God... Rejoice... What a beautiful name...


The Catholic Church, on the other hand, has an established collection of work songs, but its within the Catholic understanding of work. As the church historian/theologian H Richard Niebuhr termed it, it's Christ above Culture. So the church is above the culture. This reinforces a sacred v secular understanding of the world. Yet the garbageman glorifies God, mothers changing diapers bring pleasure to God, as does the preacher. So the Work Songs seek to help us understand that.


The Porters Gate Worship Project enlisted the help of various worship leaders serving their churches throughout the country, then Isaac rewrote songs for the whose-who of the independent songwriting scene: Liz Vice, Josh Garrels, Audrey Assad, Urban Doxology, Latifah Phillips, and more. Check them out.


I saw this on Facebook today that some of my Iron Range friends shared, and I thought it was too good not to bring up. Steve Solkela is a young man originally from Palo, MN (not far where I come from) and he is one heck of a musician and singer. On his last day home for the summer he performed a song that struck a chord with me, "Iron Ore."
