[back at Thanksgiving]

In going back through the blog the other day I noticed that all my music posts weren’t working!

[agh!]

Those posts were written the express intent of being read WHILE listening to the songs.

So I’ve gone back into the hand-full of posts & updated all the code. You know, in case you want to groove out to Elvis.

The only reason I went back to check them out is that I’ve had a lot of music rattling around in my head lately. Well…ok, more than usual.

Yes, I’m the human jukebox. For example….

When I’d like to chuck Korea & all the joys of life that come with it, Hendrix screams in my head.

When I’m home alone on a Friday night now that Eric’s back on nights again, Susan Tedeschi nails my exact sentiment.

[man, that woman can belt it out]

Of course when he gets home somewhere between 1 & 4am, the Limelights gently wake me up.

(These days we get to spend all of about an hour together before I can’t keep my eyes open anymore & have to crawl back in bed.)

Every time I’m at the grocery store & pass by those stinkin’ watermelons, the Squirrel Nut Zippers get my blood boiling.

And then there was this past Friday night when Eric was actually off work & we tried to have an official Friday Night Date – dressed up & everything, only to remember that after our lovely, leisurely long dinner that there’s nothing open & nothing else to do around this place after 8pm.

Seriously.

And I had the biggest urge to do something – anything!

Then there’s this guy. While he still holds the title for biggest show-boatin’ mid-life crisis vehicle on Camp Humphreys, sadly he’s not so alone anymore.

With the influx of this summer’s new families, I’m seeing tons & tons of more half-tons…pick-ups, that is. Huge SUVs, too - there’s now a Toyota Tundra that’s jacked-up, camper shell & all that’s trying to dethrone the current king.

Hmm….I’m noticing a trend. Are you?

Can you tell I’m really missin’ home – well, specifically honky tonks, blues bars, BBQ joints.

The sad part is my repretroire is slowly dwindling.

Without easy, regular access to American music (God, I can’t wait until I can push more than one radio button) I’m afraid I’ll have to pull out some of my old stuff.
