I shared several songs from Darlingside earlier this year. So glad I got to see them in person when they were in L.A. I found a Darlingside station on Pandora and have enjoyed playing it lately. Heard this song earlier today and needed to share it. Dotan is new to me, but I like his sound. Based on whatContinue reading “Hungry”

Orlando weighs heavy on us all tonight. When I learned early this morning of what happened there, I sat for a moment, stunned yet again, at the loss of life. It was distant for most of the day as I went about my business, but when I finally got back to my computer, I foundContinue reading “Hallelujah”

Trying to figure out how I haven't posted this song yet… Also trying to remember when I last heard it. I think it had to do with a television show… but I don't remember… sigh. Heard it earlier today as I was getting ready for a show. I've had the honor to work with a quaintContinue reading “Welcome Home”

And here we are, today, listening to Robert Ellis… again… Ok, so I fixate on an artist for a while and you just have to… deal.  This song is actually a cover that Robert does of George Jones, one of my childhood music icons. Remember, I grew up on Country. And this song is pureContinue reading “The Grand Tour”

I just love listening to Robert Ellis' voice… He's a Texas boy, you know.  But he's so much more than country. Just listen to the guitar work on this song. And for that I am grateful.    

Just recently purchased Robert Ellis' new album, called Robert Ellis. Have been playing it on repeat, but have also been listening to his older music. Found this song tonight and being in a somewhat pensive mood, thought I'd share it. The lyrics are so painfully powerful and his delivery is beautifully brilliant. Yes… I usedContinue reading “Bottle Of Wine”

Another Tiny Desk Concert… This time with Sam Beam and Jesca Hoop. Yeah, I'm not that familiar with them, either, but he's the main person behind Iron & Wine and I shared one of his songs a few years ago. Jesca, I gotta say is new to me entirely. I liked listening to their concert,Continue reading “Sailor to Siren/Know the Wild That Wants You/Every Songbird Says”

Can it have been 50 years…? Feeling a slight heartache as I think of that, the innocence of that time…  I loved the Monkees. I loved their show. Their music filled my childhood. I crushed over Davey Jones and Michael Nesmith… yes, Michael Nesmith. I found out that the remaining members of the band (DaveyContinue reading “Me & Magdalena”

Been a while since I shared Andrew Bird's music. Found this Tiny Desk Concert to help change that. Forgive me for not sharing more. He's amazing. Luckily, as with the Tiny Desk Concerts… you get three songs per post. Great music, three songs… Win-win!     

Spent a beautiful southern California Memorial Day with family and friends for a picnic and swim party. There was good food and good company. At 3:00pm I reminded everyone present to take a moment to remember those who sacrificed their lives for this country because that's what Memorial Day is about.  I came home toContinue reading “I’m Gonna Miss You (Memorial Day Tribute)”
