Music Monday – “Lord it’s like a hard candy Christmas/I’m barely getting through tomorrow/But still I won’t let/Sorrow bring me way down”

The phrase “hard candy Christmas” refers to a time in American history when many families who did not have much money could only afford to give penny candy to their children at Christmas…The hard candy metaphor suggests that life can be hard and sweet at the same time. “Hard Rock Candy” – Dolly Parton

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 […]
