I used a live version of this….but it’s a good song…so why not use it again?
Soul music….
No doubt.
I think that Willie had done something pretty bad when he sang this to his movie wife, Dyan Cannon.
I think that this was the vehicle he used to drive out of the doghouse.
How long ago was Honeysuckle Rose released?
38 years ago!
1980 was a ways back there.
I wonder if Willie is still in trouble?
Tim….ummmmm, what’s his name? Married to Faith….errrrrrrrrr….what’s her name?….sang this song.
I like Lori McKenna’s version.
She wrote it….it should be the best version.
When you can write with this much depth and insight….man.
So good.
Look at what’s possible!
Here’s a 1/4 acre garden and homestead in the town of St. Petersburg, FL.
What could we do if we knew that we could do it?
Food….not lawns?
Yeah.
One of the best songwriters around…..Lori McKenna.
This is from her new album “The Tree”.
Jenny has a Kindle that she had on the bedside table last night.
She mentioned it to me when I came to bed…and wondered if Alexa was listening to us.
That’s creepy.
I was kidding around with her and mentioned that Amazon was listening all the time…and that Jeff Bezos was really a dark figure named Bezosbub.
Bezosbub.
Hmmmmmmm.
I’m getting used to all kinds of “big brothers” listening in all the time.
I’m just a frog….doing the backstroke in a pot of lukewarm water….over a fire…getting hotter and hotter….used to the heat.
Alexa?
Should I be afraid of all these “helpful” apps?
Here’s the Showhawk Duo at TedxKlagenfurt.
In the description they talk about music being an oxytocin boost.
Man.
Don’t I know it.
Music is one of the best things that ever came along….about the best.
Here’s the description:
Music works a lot like language does – except instead of words and ideas, it expresses emotions and intent. It also gives us an oxytocin boost, which plays an important role in increasing bonding and trust between people. The Showhawk Duo bonded TEDxKlagenfurt’s audience with their spectacular approach to playing the guitar. Listen to the magic they created on stage with their version of Insomnia – I can’t get no sleep, Tiesto’s Adagio For Strings or the most unexpected thing you can expect on a guitar Bohemian Rhapsody. Young British guitarists Mikhail Asanovic and Jake Wright, together known as The Showhawk Duo, started out as buskers and have since gone on to play all over the globe. They have appeared on BBC Radio 1 on the Nick Grimshaw’s Breakfast Show, they performed for the LAD Bible and BBC Radio Bristol. They played at the UK’s large festivals including the Main Stage at Bestival, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Wilderness, Somersault and more. International performances include F1 Grand Prix in Singapore, Seychelles, club tours in Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands and a 20 – date residency at Pacha in Ibiza. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
All the colors in the world…and God gave us the ability to appreciate music….and art….and each other!
Holy Smokes!
It’s good!
This is nice.
So colorful.
Here’s Kirsten Dirksen’s description from YouTube:
When Oscar and Daniela found a crumbling adobe building in Mexico City, they were inspired to use salvaged materials to transform it into their design studio and home for their family of four.
Using materials found on the street and bought by the kilo (mainly metals), they rebuilt a long, railroad-style home creating their own space-saving furniture, like lofted bed “nests” for their children. They transformed a section of the structure where the roof had collapsed into a live/work lounge. With flooring scraps from former projects, they created a wooden patchwork floor and wall. With reclaimed doors and windows they rebuilt an entire wall which now resembles stained-glass art.
Recovered items serve new purposes: an old door on the property is now the kitchen table; a tipped-over filing cabinet is a mobile dining table with storage. Daniela used 120 recycled soda bottles to create a green wall of plants to add nature to the kitchen. She cut a hole in the bottoms and used their own tops to connect them in long rows so the watering can be done in a loop.
The couple used to work in design firms but grew tired of the creative restraints so launched their own upcycled furniture/jewelry/clothing business called Eclectik. Their work is certainly diverse: they’ve turned broken skateboards and old coins into jewelry, broken mirrors into tables and wood scraps and blenders into lamps. Their latest concept is a recycled tire plante, and even their children have gotten involved in the process.
Artists.
Why is it that artists are always the ones who do the interesting stuff?
Go, artists!
