Loretta Lynn and Sheldon Silverstein

12-21-09... This here is a great song -- unless you live in Topeka. Recorded and made a hit by Loretta Lynn, "One's On the Way" is just one of Sheldon Silverstein's compositions that combines uniquely clever lyrics and storytelling with catchy melody. Arguably, his best known is Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue", but Silverstein's also penned classics such as "Sylvia's Mother," "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, plus Bobby Bare's evil anthem, "Marie Laveau."

George Jones has a problem. His baby has roving eyes, but this was recorded by a youthful George Jones. Surely by now he knows that looking's for free. If You Wanna Be My Baby

12-25-09... Get a definite method of working, of tapping into your inner wisdom to guide you toward your goal. Maybe upon first awakening when your mind is receptive. Maybe after work when your mind is reflective. Whatever you choose, stick with it long enough to see if it works. Adjustments of schedule can be made if you feel you're on a treadmill going nowhere.

Here's a rare Hank Williams song in that it has a mandolin solo break. As for the tempo-driving music and mournful voice, it's pure Hank. May You Never Be Alone Like Me
