"Grey Lady of the Sea" by Simon Le Bon

I believe this is the first MP3 I have had.  My friend Robert found this wonderful song.  That had to be like, around 20 years ago.  Back in the days of 68000 Macintoshes, at least that was what we had.  It took them forever to process an MP3, or least it seemed like it.

Happy Birthday Robert!

"White Lightning" by George Jones

I was originally thinking of posting George Jones version of yesterday's song - "The Race is On" but I came across this other song by Geore Jones that I love.

"The Race Is On" by Jack Jones

A big hit in 1965, I've always thought the lyrics to this song were ingenious...

"Almost Lucy" by Al Stewart

This yet another song that I haven't posted up until now!  Seriously!?!  I have searched both this blog and my old blog every which way I can think of and it just isn't there.

This has long been my favorite Al Stewart song.  I have always been able to relate to this song.  In looking back I've always related very closely with the woman in stories, movies, music, etc.  Now it makes perfect sense!

It's so cool there is a 45 RPM single with this song!  I'm guessing perhaps a B-side?

"Bitch" by Meredith Brooks

This song popped up on YouTube the other day when I was watching the Melissa Etheridge video.  This is such an awesome song!  I know it's a favorite of SueZQ's too.

"I'm The Only One" by Melissa Etheridge

I was trying to find out what this mystery CD was so I stuck it in the drive on one of my computers, but it didn't identify it and I just left it in and forgot about it.  Some weeks later I accidentally clicked on something and this song started playing.  I was like WTF?  I had no idea why.  It reminded me of this song.

I just *LOVE* this version of this song!  All the better because it's a girl singing it: "...don't lead me on, BOY".  And I love the blue hair and nails in the video!

"Dockyard on a River" by Shona Laing

I found out this morning that Shona Laing was born in 1955, the same year as me.  That is so cool!!

Unfortunately I can't find "Dockyard on a River" on YouTube :(  It's one of my very favorite Shona Laing songs.  I remember years and years ago I had Andrea on X96 play this on her lunchtime segment.  Hard to believe how many years ago that was...

"Life Is Getting Better" by Javier Colon

Even after I took that nasty spill yesterday at the Genderevolution conference (where I literally shredded my pantyhose, my legs and hands).  Today my chest has started to hurt and it is extremely painful to breathe.

But even considering all of that, I have to say my life IS getting better all the time!  My life is so much better since I started living authentically!!  I am SO HAPPY living as a woman!

Indeed "if you want to you can fly"!

"Soul Experience" by Iron Butterfly

Today was the Genderevolution Conference and we had a few glitches, but it was still good.  I took a spill on my way back from Smith's to get some more cream cheese for the bagels.  I hurrying and tripped over a crack in the sidewalk and did a major face plant onto the cement.  It was bleeding pretty well so I spent 2 hours at the InstaCare getting it stitched up.  So, unfortunately, I missed our Keynote address.  But it was still a great experience!

It's awesome finding a live video too.

"Fear of Falling" by Shona Laing

This is an interesting day: the third "Friday the 13th" this year.  I've heard that is unusual  :)

Here's yet another song that I can't believe I haven't posted before... really!?!  How can I have missed this one until now??

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2uPUc5Gxmo


Wow, this looks interesting! Introducing: YouTube Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwj1qFPnhow


I guess I should plug the conference http://genderevolutionutah.org/ that has consumed so much of my time the last few weeks (hence I haven't posted much for the last few weeks)  I think it's going to be awesome!!

"Talk About It" by Boom Crash Opera

I think this is my favorite Boom Crash Opera song.  I invite everyone to the Genderevolution Conference this coming Saturday.  We will be talking about all sorts of Transgender stuff!

"Riding Along in My Automobile" by Chuck Berry

Came across this video with photos of some classic cars.  I saw the same model of '69 Camaro that I had when I was a kid.  It was the second rarest model, being both a Z28 and a Rally Sport.

"Rock On" by Def Leppard

I posted the original version of "Rock On" back on 6-Oct-2014 when the Supreme Court made their ruling on same sex marriage.  I happened across this version this morning while searching for something else and I really like it too.

Another song I love by Ms. Imbruglia.

"Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles

Last week I went into the Black Velvet Boutique (adults only!) and what an awesome store.  Leah and Dawn (the store owners) are just amazing.  We chatted for quite a while.  Everyone there was very helpful and friendly.  I even discovered something about myself that I hadn't even thought about before.  It was a wonderful experience!

Plus it reminded me of this great song, which also has a very sensuous feel to it.

"Everybody's Talkin'" by Harry Nilsson

"Vanity Kills" by ABC

I let vanity get the best of me when I went to tape the Genderevolution Conference spot for the Contact program on KUED and I completely botched it.  Spent my time fooling around with wigs and no time preparing.

"Sister" by The Black Keys

Since I bought the vinyl record of this album and it came with a CD copy, I thought I would give the original CD I had to my brother.  I was playing it in the car while I was running around today before I gave it to him and had to play this song over and over...  I love this song!

It just popped into my head that now I'm my brother's sister.  My brother's now have two sisters and my sister has sister... funny to think about.
