The Highwaymen
Tom T. Hall!!! That brings back memories. His office was at the other end of the block I officed at. Somehow or another he got our name and needed to get some work done for a minstry that he and Dixie were starting - had to do with horses and handicapped people - I volunteered to help them. Long story short we used to spend a little time together and I would have beers with him in his tour bus!
Seems like he would have been a good guy to have a cold beverage with!
I like him because his songs are such great stories about everyday folk.
'Old Dogs, and Children, and Watermelon Wine'.
He always wanted me to meet Jimmy Carter (they were friends)- but I was either out of town or something and did not get to meet him - I think he wanted me to meet him was because I was active with Habitat at the time. There was a very outspoken pastor, but kinda well-known from Alabama or Georgia that I did get to meet - cannot remember the name. The pastor was quite the character.
It was indeed a good time when I got to be with he and Dixie. Dixie was the one with the very kind heart for animals. She had already set up a no-kill animal shelter and wanted to do this horse ministry connected to it. She knew exactly what she wanted and could get things done at City Hall.
Almost across the street from my office was Johnny Rodriguez's office. We had him sing at a couple of our anniversary parties. One party was on a very snowy evening and I was told to borrow a van, put on chains and go pick up the talent - I had also set up all the booze (almost $30,000 of it back in mid 80's - not including the beer). I think I drove almost 200 miles in the snowstorm picking up the talent. One was Rodriguez and got to talk to him for over an hour. Ended up we had a common friend - but did not realize it at the time. A young lady with the name of Dottsy was from my home town (2 years older than me) and broke into the music biz in the mid 70's with 2 or 3 top ten and one album. But she used to open for him . I have yet to tell her that I met him. She's been out of town singing each time I've been back home the last few.

"Screaming Trees" will scream no more.
RIP- one of the pioneers of the “Grunge” era. First heard of them in the 1992 movie, “Singles”. It would only be fitting to have one of their most popular song be heard here:
The last video of him that I saw him singing was a cover of “Nutshell” by Alice In Chains……
Wow, sure brings back some twisted memories and reminds me of many gone away. Thanks Arn.
S & M 1999 Metallica
One of my fave’s in that concert set list is “No Leaf Clover”. It has influences and “vibe” from the minor keys used on Aerosmith’s “Dream On”. But, “Master of Puppets” is right behind it.

Hey,
Ever listen to 'Within Temptation'? Was on a 'Nightwish' kick and this band popped up with 'Nemisis' and a few others, like 'Doro' and the 'Dark Element'.
And
I must be wierd as I am right now listening to Sweet People from France. They've been around since the 70's. Some English, but mostly Frog. Even though I don't understand the words, some of the songs have US origin. I love them. Before anyone thinks I'm insensitive about calling them Frog, my Frog ancestry goes back till 1748. My ancestors were Frog mercenaries.
Try this one. Peaceful.. Takes all my anxieties away. No words. Just relaxing music.
