A good one

I often listen to music as I work or type this blog. A lot of the time I'm listening to podcasts, but that's another thing. As I was typing the other day this came on my iTunes: https://youtu.be/DxOu-G7rgI4 First I saw these guys was when they were with Michael W. Smith at the Dallas Symphony … Continue reading A good one →

Why Johnny Can’t Play

Stacy McCain had a piece up on music that really resonated with me about the Band "Chicago" music back in the day. I love music. All kinds. I play music - both guitar and bass, and have for decades. I'm good at it. Not great, but competent. By the way, a lot of friends that … Continue reading Why Johnny Can’t Play →

One of his best songs... https://youtu.be/M1p9pkIPoCE I prefer the guitar as the lead. But, what can you do? Best I could find. The song tells a story few could articulate these days.

She's a weird chick. But this is a compelling version of the song. It's about Ireland's war for independence from the Brits. https://youtu.be/-9UXN-uTFak Back through the glen I rode again, and my heart with grief was soreFor I parted with those valiant men whom I'll never shall see moreBut to and fro in my dreams … Continue reading Sunday Music →

More Irish Music. I first saw Dervish at the Irish Festival in Gaithersburg Maryland. To say they are compelling is an understatement. I can watch Cathy Jordan sing all day long. https://youtu.be/7mdpci6qDe0 Red Haired Mary This one is great. A compelling story, a lesson easily translatable to today's times. For the life of me I … Continue reading Sunday Music →

I knew an Irish guy that had a great T-Shirt. Said "I'm Irish and I don't give a shit where your grandmother was from". Something like that. Three our of four grandparents were from the old country. One whose family came over during the potato famine, the others at Irelands civil war in 1916. I … Continue reading Sunday Music →

Dolores O'Riordan died suddenly, and too soon at age 47. She had an amazing, compelling voice. https://youtu.be/dszeCuSKxLg In a record store. Wow. https://youtu.be/0XEnvbTtR3s That kind of beautiful voice....man...it's dusty in here.
