Little Feat Playlist

Sometimes a person is just in a unavoidable Little Feat kinda mood. A song suddenly comes to mind and an hour or two later .....

  • Truck Stop Girl - Working across the street from a truck stop, I've seen a few respectable truck stop girls in my lifetime. Could have even loved one or two had I not been so damn shy.
  • Fat Man In The Bathtub -  "Juanita, my sweet Juanita, what are you up to"
  • Loved and Lied To - Haven't we all felt that way at least a time or two?
  • Front Page News -  Not to be confused with 'Second Hand News' by Fleetwood Mac.
  • Under the Radar - I've always tried to exist under the radar. It's much quieter and more sane there.
  • Long Distance Love - First heard this song on a vinyl Jackson Browne bootleg recording. I loved his introduction and solo piano version of the song. My introduction to the name, Lowell George.
  • Heaven Forsaken
  • Old Folks Boogie - Since I'm officially at some places considered, 'old folks' .... not that I'm complaining about the senior discounts.
  • Fighting the Mosquito Wars
  • Hangin' On To the Good Times
  • Long Black Veil - The Fred and Paul at Stonehenge video!!!

What the hell is going on with me? I used to feel a genuine excitement and urgency about certain things ..... like listening to new offerings from a favorite band but something has apparently changed. Now it's like, "I'll get around to it eventually." And who knows how many 'get around to it's' I have remaining on the timeline of life?

So that's my goal this weekend. To give the sounds a listen!!

Midwest Gospel Radio

  Heard tonight for the first time and it's been on repeat since. 'Midwest Gospel Radio' by Yonder Mountain String Band.  A shor...
