"Forever" by Pete Drake

The Kacey Musgraves song "Oh, What a World" I posted a few days ago reminded me of this song.  This was so cool back in the day making it sound like his guitar was talking.

Here he demonstrates it on the Jimmy Dean show:

I so remember watching the Jimmy Dean show when I was a kid.

"Imagining America" by Everything But the Girl

The line "we're not here to harm your children" pops into my head all the time.  It is frustrating that some people believe transgender people are in the ladies room to do something nefarious.  Creepers just don't dress up as a woman to creep on children.

The video with various photos of scenes of America makes me so sad that Trump is destroying it  :(

"Red Moon" by Eat

Jared and I in at Broadway Music in Salt Lake City, Utah
I was in Day Murray Music today.  It is a very Mormon place, but they have treated me very well.  I like to go into spaces like this.  My philosophy is they need to see and meet more transgender people.  Hopefully, they will realize we are just human and not... crazy or trying to do something nefarious.

Jared's family owns Day Murray Music and I've had conversations with him about being transgender.  I hope maybe in the grand scheme of things it has made a difference.

I told the story of this CD before in this post in my old (before I stopped pretending to be male) "Scott's" blog: https://scotts-vital-music.blogspot.com/2011/08/mr-and-mrs-smack-by-eat.html:

"A good friend of mine, loaned me the "Sell Me A God" CD by Eat because he really liked it, he said they were so tight.  I fell in love with many songs on the CD.  Little did I know that when I returned the CD, it would be the last time I would see John.  He passed away shortly after that.  That was over 20 years ago, but I still think about him whenever I hear any of the music he turned me on to."

I should note that now he passed away almost 30 years ago.

"Oh, What a World" by Kacey Musgraves

Back of cover and Side B of Golden Hour record

This is definitely one of "my songs".  I see magic happening all around me all the time.  For months now, whenever someone asks me how I'm doing I always reply "Magical".  I just always need to be magical!

Anyway, some people were coming over today for Mother's Day and our bathroom was beyond disgusting.  I put on my French Maid costume and that  made it kinda fun.  Mariah got such a kick out of my maid outfit, she kept commenting on it.

Just like yesterday's song listening to this song made me cry.
