"Red Dress" by Magic!

More signs from the Bears Ears protest yesterday

#RespectNativeTribes
#KeepPublicLandsInPublicHands

Some more magic happened to me today!  I went to the UPS Customer Center to drop off a package and the wonderful ladies were talking to me about my red coat.  They commented that it was perfect timing because the "Red Dress" song was playing at that moment.

I went back out to my car and I thought "I should find out what this Red Dress song is", so I went back in and they told me it was this song.  I *LOVE* IT!!

"Make A Shadow" by Meg Myers

From the Bear's Ears rally today

I *LOVE* the Deaththrows of the Patriarchy sign :)

#StandWithBearsEars

I was so frozen after 2 hours in the cold at the rally.  I was shaking so badly that I could barely walk back to my car.  I went into the Alchemy Coffee near where I parked my car to get some coffee and warm up.

I didn't have the sense to get a lid, but since it was half gone by the time I got back to my car I thought it would be okay.  Ha ha ha ha!!  Within seconds it slipped out of my right hand and spilled all over me and my newly cleaned car.  (There are so many fun features of MS!)  Thankfully, I had been using the cup of coffee to warm my frozen hands and by that point the coffee was just barely warm.

I was way, Way, WAY stressed out  this afternoon so Sue and I went over to the Center theater so I could escape reality for a while and de-stress.  We saw the film  "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri".  It was certainly a "dark comedy" but it was wonderful, we loved it.

They used the song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" in the film and I thought I would use it for my song today.  But I see now I posted it last year on 2-Aug-2016.

So I'm going to drop back to this song which I listened to over and over this morning.  I absolutely love this Meg Meyers album.

"Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac

The band that played after Talia last night covered this song last night.  In the "Live" video Stevie Nicks says this song is about an old Welch witch.  Cool!!

Just found this great cover version from Talia's tribute show to Stevie Wonder last month.  I'm so bummed that I couldn't be there because I was DJ'ing that night with Rob.

"Sorry" by Meg Meyers


I ordered this Meg Meyers album over a month ago and I have had a terrible time finding time to pick it up.  I finally did last week and I played it for the first time today.

I *LOVE* IT!  It's pretty dark but it really fits my mood.  I've been worrying that I've messed up a wonderful relationship that has started.  So this song feels right today.

"Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star

I feel like people have been struggling so much this year.  There has been so much negativity.  My friend Lyndi posted on Facebook that she felt invisible and wanted to disappear.  Someone replied with a link to this song.
