Lol... I just discovered this thread this morning.
My wife and I started dating in '87...married in '88 in Saskatoon.
Get this...the temperature on June 4th that day was +40!!! Dang hot.

Music has always been a special part of our lives with a few songs or singers that hold a special memory.

My first card I gave to my wife I quoted a lyric from a song called " Weekend in New England"
"with you there's a heaven, so earth ain't so bad"
Still love that line🙂



When Tanner was 8 months old or so he was restless and could not sleep.
It wasn't till around 2 am I turned on the tv and put on a VHS of the Eagles "Hell freezes over" concert.
I had Tanner on my knee and as he watched the concert i bounced him on my knee to the bass drum of the song "In the city".and "Take it easy"
He didn't make it to the end , he was out.
I built a little fortress on the couch and he slept there till morning.

Music was always on when we traveled.
Always.
When my son was about two or so he try to sing along to the odd song but one in particular song..." You're so vain" by Carly Simon
He'd hum to the song but sing one line (everytime)
" I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee....clouds in my coffee"
We found it a funny line to sing coming from a two year old.🙂

 
Have started listening to a local community radio station. Love it because it opens up so many genres that I would never listen to on Pandora/Spotify. I have come to really like Blue Grass, probably because I like Irish music as well.

Bluegrass and Celtic music


are great.

For lack of a better term, American "roots music" -- which encompasses folk, gospel, bluegrass, and other Americana sub-genres, speaks to who we are as a people when the laptop is shut down and the phone is off.

I love the three minute pop song more than most, as well as blues, R&B, C&W, Soul, etc., but roots music is *real.*

I discovered it while listening to the late, great "Deep Water," on Detroit's public radio station, WDET. I was broke and moved back to Detroit for two years.

It was through this program that I discovered Townes Van Zandt.

I was taking a shower and listening to DET.

"The Hole" came on.

And I thought, "What the f*ck is *this*?!



Like the best Gospel, Rhythm & Blues, Country and Soul music, shit be real!
