old music

[Rogar]

John Prine was a story teller, some were sad and some were happy and some were just silly stories, but they were all wonderful.

I used to have his "Souvenir" CD back in the day, but could not listen to it without getting misty eyed. But you are right, he has songs that are just stories and happy songs too, because....it's a big old goofy world.

All the snow has turned to water
Christmas days have come and gone
Broken toys and faded colors
Are all that's left to linger on
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they robbed me
Of my childhood souvenirs

okay---Red Sovine. You won't hear ol' Red in a skating rink, and that is a good thing. Ha. But, I bet you kids like him. Yup.

I used to have his "Souvenir" CD back in the day, but could not listen to it without getting misty eyed.

I leaned on my left leg in the parking lot dirt
Cathy was closing the lights
A Junebug flew from the warmth he once knew
And I wished for once I weren't right.
We used to laugh together
And dance to any old song
Well you know she still laughs with me
But she waits just a second too long.

[Rogar]

I knew Cathy.

[Alan]

I'm sorry Rogar.

Well, I started the engine and I gave it some gas
And Cathy was closing her purse
Well, we hadn't gone far in my beat-up old car
And I was prepared for the worst
"Will you still see me tomorrow?"
"No, I got too much to do"
Well, a question ain't really a question
If you know the answer, too

Back before I was a movie star
Straight off of the farm
I had a picture of another man's wife
Tattooed on my arm
With a pack of Camel cigarettes
In the sleeve of my T-shirt
I'm headin' out to Hollywood
Just to have my feelings hurt
That town will make you crazy
Just give it a little time
You'll be walking 'round in circles
Down at Hollywood and Vine
You'll be waitin' on a phone call
At the wrong end of a broom
Yes, that town'll make you crazy
Crazy as a loon

My absolute favorite of his and the first song by him I ever heard.

[Rogar]

I'm sorry Rogar.

No regrets. Retrospectively, some humans ain't human.

okay----Tell you somethin' else----That Joe Bonnamassa characters' noise is NOT Roller Skating Rink material! Not at all. One other thing--nunya have affirmed my assertion that you're a big fan of Red Sovine. Nope.

[littlebittybobby]

okay----another great one is: "Funkytown" by Lipps. inc. Don't zackly know the lyrics 'cept: "won't you take me tooo funkytown..." There's extensive use of the Cowbell in that recording, even though it isn't hillbilly music, like you kids like.

People can overdo cowbells.
