The Good

Northern mockingbird, following us around while we built fence.

Since July of last year I have been trying to track down an mp3 of the RW Hampton song, Donnie Catch a Horse for Me, without success. You could get it on a hard copy of an album CD, but if it was out there for single purchase I couldn't find it. RW put up a link to a file of the song on Facebook yesterday, so I gave it another listen.

Still liked it.

Shared the link.

Came in from chores last night to find that a particularly dear friend, who has been known before to surprise me in sweet and wonderful ways, had found the song and sent me an mp3 of it in an email. Bet you can guess what I will be listening to today.

I dunno about you, but I use music as a crutch to get me through the boring parts. I can even do dishes, my single most hated job, and not even notice that I am doing them, if I have my favorite play list running.

I named the list Little Niagara after a river in a story I read once and it is pretty eclectic in its make up. Chris Ledoux and Elton John. Todd Fritsch and Queen. Dire Straits, the Allman Brothers Band, the Eagles, Garth, Jason Aldean, the High Kings, Emerson Drive, Lonestar (I only like one of their songs, but I like that one a lot), Jimmy Buffett, Bach's Tocata and Fugue in D Minor and lots of other stuff that only fits together in my head (although now that we have a CD of parts of it in the barn, Beck has become a Doobie Brothers fan). Now it will have Donnie Catch a Horse too.

Grin.

Music



Stumbled upon some wonderful music on Facebook yesterday...real traditional country sound.
We are fans of the Texas singer, Todd Fritsch, and have him as a friend on FB. He "liked" RW Hampton, so I checked out his music on his page.
I liked it.

Even bought one song with part of the Amazon gift certificate brother and sis-in-law gave me for my birthday. (Thanks guys, my iPod is a much happier place because of you)




Here is
RW"s Facebook page....give the song, "Donny Catch a Horse" a listen...wish I could buy that one, but alas, it doesn't seem to be available on Amazon.

Music soothes the Savage


Thanksgiving cooks. Liz and I are trying to do the day before cooking for two families' Thanksgiving dinners.

I do my bird ahead and bone it and reheat it with gravy.

She makes all kinds of breads and dinner rolls.

Kitchen traffic was getting gnarly and the chefs grumpy......when.....

She suggested I put my phone in a bowl and turn on some music. (Because a bowl makes it better.)

Magic. Memories of trips to see Trent Tomlinson and Emerson Drive.

Road trips singing along.

Milking the cows back in the day with people bellowing over the milking machines from all sides of the barn.

Good stuff. Sure an eclectic list though. From Queen to Crosby Stills and Nash to RW Hampton, Robert Dennis, and Todd Fritsche.

Good stuff. Happy campers. 

Happy Thanksgiving cooking to one and all, from our noisy kitchen to yours...
