As far as a guest from the list provided....how big is this island? If I can have at least one volcano between me and them for "distance as needed" then I pick Thurston. I figure I'm smart enough to eventually get us rescued and he's rich enough to show some serious monetary appreciation afterwards.

It was a toss up between Bach's Concerto for Two Violins (Perleman and Stern) or the Apollo by James Brown. JB won this morning.

I used to think that if I were stranded, and was in need of a desert island collection, that all my other ideas seemed to not be quite all there. So, I'm going to try again, do something a little different -- because just when I think I know something about me, then I realise I've changed.

Books :: I don't know that I'd want books to read, since by memory I have lots of good stuff to rehearse by heart. So this time, instead of books, I'm going to make sure I have some craft supplies on hand, like: knitting needles and skeins of yarn, crochet hooks too. Color crayons and a huge box of coloring pens and paper and glue and scissors, and lots of pencils and pens.

Music :: I think having a guitar and a flute and back up guitar strings, will satisfy my need for music. Plus, if I find drift wood or save back all the busted coconut shells, I can make wind chimes.


I don't usually watch TV or movies, per se, but I do enjoy things like that. So, I'm going to say that having a copy of the documentary about Sugarman, would be nice to watch. I'd also like all the seasons of Downton Abbey. Too, I'd like to have all the seasons of Seinfeld, and maybe slip in a movie or two by Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Maybe even a few b-rated flicks just to have some sort of balance.

I would want a-
complete Astrological Guide to (the stars)
Book-Guide to Island Survival
Tolkien-The Trilogy

Scatter, Adapt, And Remember. How Humans Will Survive Mass Extinction."
"Seeing The Sky- Explorations In Astronomy"
"United States Marines Survival Field Guide Manual"
"Holy Bible"
"Man's Eternal Quest"
"The Divine Romance"
"Autobiography Of A Yogi"
" Medical Dictionary Of Diseases-Causes And Cures"
"The Medicinal Properties Of Plants"

Desert Island
 

I would bring my lady, fishing gear, camping gear, our favorite books, and music.

:theisland: :sailing: :fishing:

Books:
Field Guide to Medicinal Plants and Herbs
Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants
Secrets of Native American Herbal Remedies

Instead of movies or music:

Once we have immediate needs sorted out, a flute can be made from bamboo for our musical needs. We will be much too busy surviving day to day to miss watching movies. Instead, I would prefer to have at least one of my knives, and an ax, hatchet, or at least a saw if you're gonna dump me out on a deserted island. (which I could probably get into, by the way.) A few zip ties, paracord to use for making snare traps and binding limbs together for the hut, and a ferrocerium rod if at all possible.

As for which character from Gilligan's Island I would want to bring along...while Ginger is the gorgeous movie star she seems shallow, so I would likely choose Mary Ann because I believe she would be much more interesting to talk with, and she seems to be more capable and down to earth. I think she would be more likely to help us thrive in the elements, just going by the roles played on the TV show. Just for kicks I would likely request Gilligan as well, because laughter will be an important asset to thriving while stranded. ;)

P.S. I would also need to smuggle in my dog, Sadie. She can help us find the elusive wild hog that we will roast to celebrate the end of rainy season. I would find it difficult to thrive without her there with me.

Books: Stieg Larson "The Girl ..." series of books. A cache of poetry books. Quite a few books authored by Eric Larsson. My favorite non-fiction books. The Tolkien trilogy books.

Sunglasses, sun-block, blood pressure medication, vitamin C supply, a multi-purpose knife, rope, taurapin, waterproof matches, nail file, nail polish, Turkish towels, and.... a few heavy glass jars (lids to match, too).

I'll skip the music, though.

I would want the following movies..

Dangerous Liaisons
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Mr. Destiny
