no, disappointed. i deleted them. i guess i had different ideas about what BC was or should be....and as you know that doesn't apply to everyone. thanks for your style and constant good attitude. i wonder if those people know how much damage they do...?

there's no silver bullet for real regret....
that comes at the hand of a misplaced bet...
no way to hope in a new born dream...
when you can't get to sleep in a snow melt stream

Whisper To Me Timelessly

Some say God speaks to them....b
Some say they've seen Him...l
Some say He visits them in dreams and visions...a
Some say they're led by Him....c
Some say He he's opened their doors...k
and closed others....d
Some say they heal by HIs power...e
Some say they prophesy because of Him...n

I can't say that I'm in any of those things...y

Maybe I've been and just been blind...m
Maybe I am and still can't see....a
Maybe I come ...Maybe I go....t
Maybe I hear...Maybe I think...g
Maybe all I do is at His bidding....m

I don't know...a

Maybe I choose Him because He is to be chosen...i
Maybe I fail Him and suffer for it...l
Maybe He Whispers when my thoughts are too loud...d
Maybe His time is different than mine...o
Maybe He's much more with me too less...t
Maybe I'll wonder....or Maybe I'll see...c
and Maybe it will happen...o
Timelessly...m

I don' t know

the river never ends

the sad heart knows how the river e..nds...
it's been thru turns and been thru bends...
it finds a sea....it's supposed to..die....
yet, here it is....so tell m..e why....
th..e river never ends....
and the sad heart flows....
deep and silent....
and on it goes...
th..e river never ends....

it was born high on a mountain...
kissed by clouds of heaven's love....
it came alive fast, free, and shoutin'....
this is all i'll dream of....
o..may it never end....
may this never ever end...
and the sad heart knows...
deep and silent...
that on it goes...
th..e river never ends...

the broken heart lives on the run...
it banked on love 'till there was none...
it's tears run free and it wants to hide...
but they just flow to the riverside...
and th..e river never ends....
and the sad heart flows....
deep and silent....
and on it goes...
th..e river never ends....

it was born high on a mountain...
kissed by clouds of heaven's love....
it came alive fast, free, and shoutin'....
this is all i'll dream of....
o..may it never end....
may this never ever end...
but the sad heart knows...
deep and silent...
that on it goes...
th..e river never ends...

it was born high on a mountain...
warmed by winds of smiling love....
it came alive fast, free, and shoutin'....
this is all i'll dream of....
o..may it never end....
may this never ever end...
but the sad heart knows...
deep and silent...
that on it goes...
th..e river never ends...

It's songs like these that make me get up in the morning....

Just like the sun over the mountaintop
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morningtime
Like sunlight dancing on your skin
I've never gone so wrong
As for telling lies to you
What you see is what I've been
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
'Til I can gain control again
And like a lighthouse
you must stand alone
Landmark the sailor's journey's end
No matter what sea
I've been sailing on
I'll always pass this way again
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Til I can gain control again

I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Wandering o’er this world of woe
And there’s no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I’m going home to see my father
I’m going home, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Where men redeemed their vigil’s keep
I’m going home to see my mother
I’m going there, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home


unknown origin....but recorded by many many people....

i used to get out in the middle of the night and drive it as fast as i could over hills and around curves and it seemed like it just held the road so great....but that was on GT's.....later i put on some ST's...bad idea....they don't hold the road....

So called country music gets a lot of flack sometimes....and sometimes it deserves it. But the real problem is in the classification to start with...the pigeon holing. I have met so many one of a kind artists who transcend 'boxes' and have that uncanny ability to go in deep and pull out something that they can then present to the world in a way that only they can do....that is their 'thing'.

I have written of Mickey Newberry before on my Trilogy post, but here is one more that just shows you what I mean....so deep in so few words he captures a moment ...a longing ....that is universal...

Sweet Memories

My world is like a river as dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories
Sweet memories sweet memories hmm

She slipped into the silence of my dreams last night
Wondering from room to room turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
And I'm swept away from sadness clinging to her memories
Sweet memories sweet memories hmm

And to show you how it can be transformed with a different but equally valid feel here is Dawn Sears of the Time Jumpers at the Station Inn performing the same song. I have spend many hours in the Station Inn world famous for its Bluegrass music. Some of the biggest names you can imagine hang out there and have and it is smaller than my shop and until a recent remodeling wasn't much nicer.....*S*...actually that is a compliment in my world...

my heart's listening for your words so clear
our love can be unblamed
it can be as good as gold

oh no....

it's just a phrase I toss out....but in reality i never let anyone do anything for me without paying them or at least offering.
My son and I went to Nashville to get a truck today and I will pay him for doing that even though I have taken care of everything he wanted for 18 years....it's just my way.

so does this mean that it made you angry the last time your stormed out...???? I didn't know that.....if so, I'm sorry...again....i never did get that tattooed on my forehead...*S*

go back and read it...it was about paying you...not charging, besides it was a joke about something that has little chance of happening in the overall scheme of things....

It's just an ole story....that I put down in song...
about the ways I have handled ...everything... so wrong...
It's just thing I can worry....from the morning til night...
and all through the darkness...til the dawn's early light...

It's just an ole story
That's just waiting to see
The clock striking midnight...
and
the
what
is
to
be
