This hit song by Mumford & Sons is really good. It is a catchy tune but the lyrics are so original – I really like it. Give it a listen if you have a chance. I’m sure it’s on Youtube or someplace. There are a couple of different versions of it – a radio edit and an extended. It’s that good.

Came across a list of top songs from back in the days when I was in high school. It was interesting to read the long list of familiar songs and I noticed quite a few that I didn’t recognize. I know I listened to the radio a lot of bought all kinds of LPs and 45s when I was a kid. I don’t understand how there could be so many songs that I’ve never heard or – or maybe I just don’t remember them by those titles and would recognize them if I heard them again.

When I went to the Levon Helm show at the Ryman Auditorium about 2 years ago, I knew they were recording the show. The video guys were obvious but not intrusive, and there were no do-overs or director running around. It was a whole show, with lots of special guests and some of the best music I have ever heard. I’m plum tickled that the concert is now coming out on DVD. I want this DVD!

I’m surrounded by people who live and breathe country music. That is one of the advantages of living in Music City.
My waitress at my favorite Mexican restaurant is a fiddle player who works with George Jones. My next door neighbor runs a private wedding chapel where over 200 celebrities have exchanged vows in privacy. My barber goes down to the Grand Old Opry and does hair for the performers every weekend. My mechanic fixes cars for Alan Jackson.
At the bank drive through window I saw Travis Tritt using the ATM. At the chiropractor next to my office, Wynonna Judd parks her BMW next to my car and goes in for an adjustment every couple of weeks. My secretary’s husband plays drums as a session player on Music Row.
We are all connected.

The best part of this photo is the way the light comes across the cowgirl. The second best part is that you don’t see much of her face, so in your mind’s eye she could be just about anyone you want her to be. I want to take this photo and make it into a painting, in the Van Gogh style. I might even have photo editing software that will do that. I’ll have to check on that and see if it works like I have it pictured in my mind.
