Music Monday – “He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’/He said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, You need a change of pace’/And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs/He said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine/We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel/Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?”

Such a good song.  Loved the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix too! “Me and My Monkey” – Robbie Williams

Music Monday – “I hope that I don’t sound to/Insane when I say there is darkness/All around us/I don’t feel weak but I do/Need sometimes for her to protect me/And reconnect me/To the beauty/That I’m missing”

RIP Toby Keith. Lots of famous musicians have recorded Fred Eaglesmith songs but he just happens to have recorded my favourite which reminds me so much of my high school years working in a small town gas station: “White Rose” – Toby Keith
