"House of the Rising Sun" by Billy Strange

The Utah Women Unite directors meeting was canceled this morning, so I went and had breakfast with Hillary at City Cakes.  Then I went over to her house, hung out on her couch and grooved to her and some of her friends jammin' for a couple of hours.  I had some nasty (MS) fatigue, so I pretty much did the couch potato thing.

It was funny I was thinking about this (Billy Strange) version of this song and pondered requesting it, but didn't.  They must have read my mind, because they played it just as I was getting ready to leave, so I hung out a few more minutes to hear all of it.  It was as wonderful note to leave on.

I stopped into Home Depot on the way home and the nasty fatigue came back.  I felt like death warmed over the rest of the afternoon and I still feel like hell.  :(

I have posted the version by The Animals as my post for one year ago: 7-May-2016

"Riders in the Sky" by Sons of the Pioneers

I dug out this old record to listen to while we were having lunch with our friends Rob and Connie.  Such a great album, my family loved this record, we listened to it over and over.

I noticed this is one of the records I put a date stamp on.  My idea was to keep track of when I bought each record.  But all of these old albums I didn't know when they were purchased originally, so I stamped them all with this date: Mar 11, 1967.  Just over 50 years ago.  Half a Century!!  Wow!!!

Things like this always make me stop and think.  What would I have thought if I had been able to look 50 years into the future and found that I was living very happily as a woman!

I love all of the things that the record companies came up with to entice people to buy records.  "Miracle Surface(R)... your assurance of greatly enhanced listening pleasure." and "Miracle Surface(R) record grooves contain the anti-static agent 317X...".   Whoooo! Too funny!!

"Blowin' Sky High" by Berlin

I believe this was a new song for the "Best of Berlin" album.

A great and powerful song!  I'm thinking about the battle we have going on now over our rights being taken away by this dumb-ass administration!  We have to keep on fighting!  "'cause I'm gonna need help defending my streets!"

"Come with Me Now" by KONGOS

Walk, come with me now.  I'm gonna show you how...

Afraid to lose control
Caught up in this world
I've wasted time
I've wasted breath
I think I've thought myself to death

I was born without this fear
Now only this seems clear
I need to move, I need to fight
I need to lose myself tonight
