Music Monday: Queen Somebody to love

“Let me ask you one question. Do you really want to own a ranch, or are you just wanting to mother something”

CRAP.

I love my friends. Even the honest ones.

Honestly, I don’t know.

I hate the heat.

My gardens are already dead.

It was too hot to mess with a fall harvest.

I no longer care.

Sometimes, life after kids, is hard. Not impossible, but I’m not going to lie, I miss it sometimes.

Music Monday: Wall Street/Main Street Anita and Austin Renfroe

I love this! Found it today while looking for music for y’all. Listen to the words, it reminds me of an old Peter, Paul, and Mary song. Enjoy.

Music Monday: Tommy Emmanuel Funny Guitar Boogie

Once I accepted the fact that my wife has a thing for guitar players, I was able to relax and enjoy the ride. — (My husband)

It’s true. I do have a thing for guitar players. Honestly, I don’t think it’s all that bad, after all it’s the only reason I ever agreed to go with my now husband in the first place. I loved dating a guitar player and hanging with the band. We had a blast together and when he wasn’t playing, we were going to see other bands play. Mostly though, I just love listening to him play. His musical knowledge far exceeded my own and for almost a year I believed he’d written those obscure-known-only-to-guitar-player Yes songs he used to like to play.

He even wrote me love songs when we were dating. Of course now he plays in a praise and worship band and writes songs about Jesus. I’d be jealous but the whole don’t want to risk getting struck by lightening thing keeps that in check. Most times anyway.

Most of you readers know that I decided to learn how to play banjo last year and this year I took up guitar. I’m learning how to boogie. I thought I was doing rather well too until I saw this video. Now I want to throw up.  Tommy Emmanuel is not only an amazing guitar player, he is hilarious.  Hope you enjoy the video.

 

Music Monday: Sam Bush and Emmylou Harris, The River’s Gonna Run

My music teacher turned me on to Sam Bush last year. Holy cow, he’s awesome.  He’s going to be at the Blue Grass Chili Festival in Claremore Oklahoma on September 7, 2013. You do not want to miss this.

Music Monday: Wynonna Judd, I Can Only Imagine

All I can say is WOW.

I dedicate this song to my friends Rena and Martin and to Jeff and myself in celebration of our wedding anniversaries.

Music Monday: Angela Primm, Said I wasn’t Gonna Tell Nobody

I told you guys a little bit about Angela in one of my posts last week about Mark Lowry and The Gaithers. I wanted you to see for yourself how much wonderful energy this woman brings to the stage. She had me on my feet. She’s so endearing and so energetic that it can’t help but rub off on you.

 

Music Monday: Child Forgiven, Gaither Vocal Band

For those who asked me who the Gaithers were. Here is an example. I love this style of music. More so, I love the message behind it. LISTEN to the words. — Whom the Son has set free is free indeed.

Music Monday: After Midnight, JJ Cale

I still cannot believe JJ is gone. I had a hard time figuring out which song or video I wanted to post for you guys. I mean the man was a brilliant musician. I thought about posting Mama Don’t and then I came across this. It’s just simply JJ well, him and Leon Russell and I figured what better. The fact that he is playing guitar with a lit cigarette totally cracked me up. Hope you like it.
