Fun cover of the Everly Brothers song:

Buck Owens & Susan Raye: Love Is Strange

Buck rules... just goofy as all hell having fun with cute as a button Raye. :)

Well... if I'm going to post Buck, we've got to get him with Don:

Samson and Delilah which was the last Dead song played at the Spectrum in Philly that will be torn down in the Fall. The Spectrum even had a banner hanging in the rafters commentating the 53 Grateful Dead shows the building sold out over the years. I am glad that I snapped the picture when I did because by the time the 2nd set began the Banner had been taken down. I thought for sure they were going to bring it on stage or something but the banner just disappeared and wasn't seen for the rest of the night.

I am stoked that I got to see the Dead play at both the old Brendan Byrne Arena and the Spectrum as they were two of the places where the Dead always played awesome shows. I am glad that I didn't tear my groin when I almost did a full splits inside the Spectrum because the condensation on the floor was so slick. The first night at the old Brendan Byrne Arena was awesome as they had Branford Marsalis sit in with them and he blew all over Lovelight, Estimated Prophet, Milestones, and Eyes of the World among the highlights f the two nights he sat in.

My buddy Jim videotaped the song and synced it up with the soundboard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih1eA9H88Mw

True story.

I was on the DC Metro [subway] a couple of years ago. Three 20-something girls -- and I use that term advisedly -- were talking about how they had moved to [central] Arlington VA back in the early 2000s... back when it was "still a bad area".

You mean back when it had local restaurants, and we could still see the sky?

To all the people like them [who IMO make it a "bad" area NOW], I dedicate this:

Arlington: the Rap
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T1RMuoQnKo

The lyrics are available in the "More Info" at the right. I'm not familiar with rap but I'm guessing it's a parody of "Straight Outta Compton". Mean, clever, funny, and true. Word, dog.

Lee, apparently representing the Clizzledizzle

(The "Green Line" reference is the most obscure for non-natives -- sure, it goes to the new baseball stadium and the revitalized Navy Yard area, but it also goes to Anacostia/Southeast which is the poor, crime-intensive part of DC.)

Today's song about life is brought to you by the letter S, the number 15, and Armistice/Remembrance/Veterans' Day.

Guy Clark - "The Cape"

He forgets the words to his own first verse, which is always endearing. :)

But the chorus....

One of my favorite sad yet happy songs is "If You Were A Bluebird". Written by Butch Hancock, and often performed by fellow West Texan/Flatlander Joe Ely. First heard it off of Ely's utterly kickass _Live at Liberty Lunch_ album, where he and Butch do it as a duet. (Gosh, that album is now 20 years old. And I know I bought it new...)

Some samples on YouTube:

I love Miranda Lambert. What is it about a tough minded woman who get over on her guy that works for me. ;)

White Liar

Gunpowder & Lead

Doing a mushy George Strait song with her special guy:

Blake & Miranda: It Ain't Cool To Be Crazy About You

And seeing them always makes me post this when was their start, and you could see in her eyes that she was ga-ga over him... and the smile back from him :

You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma

Yeah... I'm a sap for the mushy stuff. :)
