03-8-10... Aren't Mondays a drag? Seems to be the most difficult day to get the brain kick-started, and the
attitude that starts the week trends throughout the week. So, since I know my brain has a desire to set me up for a sour mood, I rely on music to detour myself around a bad week. No radio. Something in between songs will piss me off... news, undoubtedly. Music alone will keep me happy, even if it's not necessarily uplifting music. Once I get past Monday with my spirits up, the rest the week follows suit.
Did I say something about a detour? Spade Cooley sings about one, and hopefully it will put you on the right track for your Monday. Detour
03-10-10... True faith is something not to be taken for granted. Right, Waylon Jennings? Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line
03-12-10... I wonder how many men and women who are far away from home can relate to this song. Far too many, and some are where they are for mistaken purpose, now freely admitted by one whose book is #1 seller on Amazon. Anyhow, this song by Mel Tillis is from a different war and different time, but the message is timeless for any soldier away from homeland. Stateside

Johnny Horton Rocks
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
