Music Monday – “Kept his mother Mary worried/Always out on his own/He met another Mary who for a reasonable fee/Less than reputable was known to be/His heart was full of love, love, love”

Music Monday – “If we were vampires and death was a joke/We’d go out on the sidewalk and smoke/And laugh at all the lovers and their plans/I wouldn’t feel the need to hold your hand”

A lot of my music-loving friends had posted something about this song but I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t even give it a listen because I thought the title was terrible and reminded me of “Twilight” or something. But I finally gave it a chance and boy, was I wrong.  Probably one of the most […]

Music Monday – “Get me drinking’ that moonshine/Get me higher than the grocery bill/Take my troubles to the highwall/Throw ’em in the river and get your fill”

I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I was really getting into Tyler Childers – watching videos of him, reading articles about him, dreaming about taking “road” trips to see him, joining Facebook groups about him, playing his songs (badly) on guitar and listening to his music non-stop. At the time, I made a Music Monday […]

Music Monday – “It’s a 24 foot long vessel/Measures 8 feet wide/It’s a 53 year-old camper/It’s made to pull behind.” (also “I can guarantee you, we were the quietest people in the Circleville Public Library” if you click through to the live version!) :-)

I’ve got a new musical obsession after really getting into Kentucky’s own Tyler Childers this past weekend… He’s got a lot of amazing songs but the one I’m featuring for “Music Monday” today, while still unreleased, caught my ear when I found it on YouTube.  See if you can guess why? (He’s also got a live […]

Music Monday – “We’d roll amongst the sweet grass lickin’ on each other/As the night replaced the day we’d bay and howl at the moon”

This song is probably my current favourite on Colter Wall’s new album and I also like that the clip I’m posting features Brad Wall’s son joking about smoking a big joint. 😉 I wont’t be blazing any icky…sticky, dank or otherwise. But thanks for thinking of me…..bud. https://t.co/lDkWL2rMeT — Brad Wall (@BradWall306) October 16, 2018 […]

Music Monday – “I used to drink too much/Forgot to come home/I lied to my doctor/But these days I don’t/’Cause I’m happy with you/I got lots of good things to do”

  “Happy With You” – Paul McCartney

Music Monday – “Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left/And here on earth everything thing’s different, there’s an emptiness”

Death was a dark cloud haunting our summer in a variety of ways. In August, I lost a great aunt who lived in Weyburn at age 86. Earlier in the summer, I drove up to Warman for the funeral of one of my favourite cousins who was only in his 50’s when cancer took his life. He […]

Music Monday – “You give me love I didn’t earn/Love I’m learning that I’m worth/As it turns out, love just don’t care who we were”
