Well, Cowboy, in Houston you can find almost anything. Last Christmas, a member of the Second Baptist Choir came and played several songs on a Bagpipe! He was dressed completely in a kilt and assort Scottish gear. I believe that upon hearing bagpipes playing it causes my heartbeat to increase to a higher level. Just Sayin...RJS

There is a song about a guy who buys a used corvette and finds a letter in the glove box from the original owner who never made it home from Viet Nam. Wish I could remember the title . If anyone knows, please post the title. Saddest song ever. Also unchained melody by the Righteous Brothers.
Private Malone??

Yes! One of my favorite songs, misused by the Smothers Brothers is Streets of Laredo.
My young great Nephew and I did a stage performance of mock horse theft by Indians out of Indian Territory (Oklahoma) and use the Smothers Brothers version. Just Sayin...RJS

Not sure it’s the saddest song I know but saddest I can think of. Came to mind as I drove to see my father for the last time this year, honestly had a hard time listening to it.

Well, we are getting into a different realm when we talk about funeral songs such as Amazing Grace, When We All Get to Heaven... at the funeral of all my family and friends.
My niece did not have a funeral for my sister or her husband who was her father. Just a 'celebration of life'! I find that somehow lacking in the respect of their good lives.
When I make a speech at a Rotary Club, I close with something like this, "When Sargent Death taps you on your shoulder, you aren't going to look back and wish you had done one more deal, drilled one more well, or anything like that.
You will look back with pride that your children having turned out well, and things like that which have eternal value! That your stay here will be commended by Jesus to his father about you! Just Sayin...RJS

If you like classical music google Bolero one of my favorites.
Feb 26, 2024 01:01:51 #
Yes, and did you know that the sound in Bolero was a repition of the sound of a saw mill blade cutting wood? This was something the author of Bolero heard in his youth. He was either employed as a laborer, or happened to live in a camp where large saw blades made a similiar sound. Just Sayin...RJS
