Music Monday – “Everything is better with some cows around/Living in town sometimes brings me down/Let me bestow this western blessing and share what I have found/May you always have cows around”

According to last.fm, this was my most played song of the summer. Having camped with a farming/ranching family on one side and a guy who was not only a farmer/rancher but a cattle buyer at a livestock exchange on our other side, I can understand why! 😉 “Cows Around” – Corb Lund

Music Monday – “Summer’s end around the bend just flyin’/The swimmin’ suits are on the line just dryin’/I’ll meet you there for our conversation/I hope I didn’t ruin your whole vacation”

“Summer’s End” – John Prine

Music Monday – “Can you break the horse, can you light the fire, what’s that I beg your pardon?/You best start thinking where food comes from and I hope you tend a good garden.”

“Gettin’ Down on the Mountain” – Corb Lund

Music Monday – “Five mile an hour with aluminum side/Wood panelin’ with a water slide/Can’t beat the heat, so let’s take a ride”

“Pontoon” – Little Big Town

Music Monday – “Everybody chasing something/I don’t know why they’re running/I take my time to the finish line/‘Cause we all end up with nothing”

“Trailer Hitch” – Kristian Bush

Music Monday – “I used to spend my nights out in a barroom/Liquor was the only love I’ve known/But you rescued me from reachin’ for the bottom/And brought me back from being too far gone”

“Tennessee Whiskey” – Chris Stapleton

Music Monday – “Nothing lasts forever/And your best efforts don’t always pay/Sometimes you get sick/And you don’t get better/That’s when life is short/Even in its longest days”

I’ve always loved John Mellencamp but mostly as a rocker. So this song off his latest album caught me a bit by surprise (though I do hear echoes of “My Best Was Never Good Enough” by Bruce Springsteen on his “Ghost of Tom Joad” album.) “Longest Days” – John Mellencamp

Music Monday – “We’re just two lost souls/Swimming in a fish bowl/Year after year”

Not sure if they’ll upload it or not but if they do, I’ll replace this clip with the slideshow they showed at my cousin’s funeral on Saturday… “Wish You Were Here” – Pink Floyd

Music Monday – “We get to see the maple trees/Maple sugar on the maple leaves/We get the biggest wheat fields growing tall”

“CA-NA-DA (Cross Canada)” – Stomping Tom Connors w/ kd lang

Music Monday – “Floatin’ on the wind, until I find you/I bury myself deep inside your heart/You won’t feel a change/We’ll just become the same thing/And never spend a single day apart”

“Angel of Death” – Honeyhoney
