So you think this is a good idea?

We never talked about it

But I hear the blame was mine

I'd call you up to say I'm sorry

But I wouldn't want to waste your time


'Cause I love you, but I can't take any more

There's a look I can't describe in your eyes

Yes we could try, like we tried before

When you kept on telling me those lies


Do you remember...?


There seemed no way to make up

'Cause it seemed your mind was set

And the way you looked it told me

It's a look I know I'll never forget


You could've come over to my side

You could've let me know

You could've tried to see the difference between us

But it seemed too far for you to go.


Do you remember...?


Through all of my life

In spite of all the pain

You know people are funny sometimes

Because they just can't wait

To get hurt again


Do you remember...?


There are things we won't recall

Feelings we'll never find

It's taken so long to see it

'Cause we never seemed to have the time


There was always something more important to do

More important to say

But "I love you" wasn't one of those things

And now it's too late

Do you remember...?

YouTube is entirely TOO easy to use. So is my digital camera with video. I suppose that's how something like this happens:

I didn't think that I liked this song at first, but it's been on my mind constantly this week. Once I gave it a listen, it reminded me of a friend that has also been on my mind recently. I know this person is going though some rough times recently and my emails have gone unanswered...which makes me worry. But, I imagine that he will surface again...as always...with an incredible story of where he's been for all this time. Wishing him well.............

Good is good and bad is bad
You don't know which one you had
She put your books out on the sidewalk
Now they're blowing 'round
They won't help you when you're down

Love's on your list of things to do
To bring your good luck back to you
And if you think that everything's unfair
Would you care if you're the last one standing there

And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times have passed you by

I don't hold no mystery
But I can show you how to turn the key
Cause all I know is where I started
So downhearted
And that's not where you want to be


When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to rise
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don't belong
And you don't know why

And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times have passed you by

When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to rise
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don't belong
Neither do I

Artists You Should Know:
Linda Smith

I've known about Linda Smith since junior high school. What I didn't know was what a fabulous songwriter she had become. I'll admit that I haven't been following Linda's career from the beginning. It all started with a tip from a friend; someone had heard that Linda was in Chicago and was a successful folk musician. Well, of course I had to look that up and I ended up buying her Greatest Hits CD.

Greatest Hits collections are a great place to start exploring new artists. I gave this one a listen and was compelled to buy more! (fyi- you can buy 4 of her albums on itunes RIGHT NOW!)

Linda has a warm, honey voice; honest and deep. There is nothing pretentious about Linda's music. She has stories to tell and she just lays it out there. It's raw and gutsy and you will connect with it. Just when you think Linda is all about being serious, she throws you a curve like "Ex-girlfriend Song" that is full of humour and shows just a little bit of punk roots.

Available on iTunes: 'Greatest Hits-Journey to Now', 'Cry Baby Cry', 'Emily's House' and 'Same Girl, Different Day'.

So far, my favorites are (in no particular order): Sometimes I Cry, What Have I Done and Ex-Girlfriend Song.

Rock On, Linda!!

Meant to post this on Thanksgiving, so think back to last Thursday........


Thought for the day:

It's wanting what you've got" (sheryl crow)

Artists You Should Know:

Kevin Gordon

I got to know Kevin's music when he was living in Iowa City, playing for Bo Ramsey. Later, he broke off and started "The Rockodiles" and now has a solo career in Nashville.

I was fortunate enough to see Kevin (with Bo, Radislov, Mitch, Steve and Mike) play MANY MANY times at really small clubs throughout central and eastern Iowa in the late 80's/early 90's before he moved to Nashville. His stellar songwriting ability is reason enough to give him a listen, however, it is Kevin's ability to channel Stevie Ray Vaughn (and all other blues guitarists that go before him) and present you with an absolutely ON FIRE live performance that will leave you breathless. In all the times I've seen him play, he just lays everything at your feet and you will swear he is having an out-of-body experience as that music just flies out of his fingers. There is nothing like it anywhere. If you get the chance to go....you MUST!! What a sultry voice...what a guitarist....and he's not bad to look at. Ok, he's pretty hot.

Kevin has several recordings out. His latest, "O, come look at the burning" has got to be his best yet. You can get it on iTunes, along with "Down to the Well"...another great CD. If you want to see everything, you can go to:

www.kevingorgon.net

All the old stuff is on his web site to buy. Tour dates are also there...as well as an interesting blog that Kevin writes. (wish he would write more..hint, hint) Check him out...you won't be sorry.

If I had to pick one (and I can't)...My top 5 songs by Kevin:

1- Lucy and Andy Drive to Arkansas, 2- Hellcat, 3- Find My Way, 4- Watching the Sun Go Down, 5- Over the Levee

BTW- If anyone is looking for a graduation present for me about this time next year.....you can save all your nickles and dimes and get Kevin to play my grad party!!!!
