02-22-10... One of the many fascinating aspects of music is interpretation of lyrics. Sure, Waylon Jennings claims he's a free spirit and is feeling the need to move on, but I wonder if what really happened is that the woman, knowing the weekend is over and she has things to do, told him to get his free-loading ass out of her house.
Waylon says it's Time to Bum Again.
02-24-10... You cannot change your environment without first changing your mind. This Gene Autrey penned song, done soulfully by Jimmy Martin and the Sunny Mountain Boys, is a fine example of what not to do. "I've lost her, oh, what can I do? I'll bet you're not happy if she's there with you." He's resentful. He's hurt, and as long as he thinks this way, he's never going to get over a woman who'll never again be what he wants her to be. He truly does have 20-20 Vision, and he's walking around blind.
02-26-10... It's no secret as to why Johnny Horton is in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. His pre-, "Battle of New Orleans" style rocked with the best of them, and his voice had range coupled with masterful control. This song from 1956 showcases what he could do. I'm a One Woman Man

Lefty's Lilt
My posts here trailing my original posts have brought me to February 2010
02-1-10... A report about something might be incorrect, but if you believe it to be true, then it will have the same effect on you as if it were true.
To kick off February, I'll kick out a sh#t-kicker bluegrass version of a cowboy song, courtesy of the talented musicians of Jimmy Martin and the Sunny Mountain Boys. Red River Valley
02-3-10... What you think about grows. Whatever you allow to occupy your mind becomes more and more a part of your own life. Obviously, the thinking can be on the positive or negative side of the ledger, and so training your mind to dismiss the negatives by immediately switching subjects is key to making your day what it is.
Worry is one of those negatives -- a useless, time and energy-consuming exercise. This guy refuses to entertain it. T. Texas Tyler sings Bummin' Around
02-5-10... This piece certainly shows off Lefty Frizzell's fine voice, and although the lyrics might seem sappily sentimental, I suppose it all depends upon how you feel about yours. From 1959, Mom and Dad's Waltz
