  1. Wait For Me

    Susan Tedeschi

    Oh baby...Susan was just in town last week and fortunately I went to see her. I am in love :googly: with this woman!!! (But I still love you too, Peaches) Incredible singer and she can play that Fender (she joined Dickie Betts on stage later). I loved every song she did. I am buying this CD as soon as I can get to the store. In fact, I'm buying her debut too. *major swoon*

  2. Jerry Jeff Walker - the guy's put out over 30 albums since 1967. He wrote and recorded a certifiable American standard, "Mr. Bojangles" in '68 (which, by the way, is a true story). "Redneck Mother" and "Vince Triple-O Martin" are two of my other faves of his. I saw Jerry Jeff in concert last Friday, opening for Dickie Betts and Great Southern. :coolio:

  3. It's called "Oo La La" by The Faces

    Poor old granddad

    I laughed at all his words

    I thought he was a bitter man

    He spoke of women?s ways

    They?ll trap you, then they use you

    Before you even know

    For love is blind and you?re far too kind

    Don?t ever let it show

    I wish that I knew what I know now

    When I was younger.

    I wish that I knew what I know now

    When I was stronger.

    The can can?s such a pretty show

    They?ll steal your heart away

    But backstage, back on earth again

    The dressing rooms are grey

    They come on strong and it ain?t too long

    Before they make you feel a man

    But love is blind and you soon will find

    You?re just a boy again

    When you want her lips, you get a cheek

    Makes you wonder where you are

    If you want some more and she?s fast asleep

    Then she?s twinkling with the stars.

    Poor young grandson, there?s nothing I can say

    You?ll have to learn, just like me

    And that?s the hardest way

    Ooh la la

    I wish that I knew what I know now

    When I was younger.

    I wish that I knew what I know now

    When I was stronger.

  4. I've been there once before actually. I went to a really cool restaraunt there called "Don and Charlies." It has a lot of sports memorobillia, and great ribs!

    Hey Batman, yes Don And Charlies IS very cool. I love all that baseball stuff, like the bounced check from Ty Cobb on the wall. There are some baseball jerseys hanging in the bar area, one of them is from a team I played with and is signed by me and my teamates. I love that place!

  5. Scottsdale, Arizona is a suberb of Phoenix. It has numerous luxury resorts and spas and is a golf destination. We have spring training baseball and are home to many "snowbirds" during the winter. It was voted the "Most Livable Place in the U.S." several years ago. Great weather from October through May. A lttle hot the rest of the time, but you get used to it. Around 200,000 population, low property taxes, good schools, low crime. It's seen as "Snobbsville" to some others in the area. But I've seen worse. I've lived here four years, it's not bad but it's not "home."

    This is at the top of Camelback mountain, which rises 1,900 feet above the valley and has 360 degree views:

    I hiked to the top last fall.

    we get great sunsets:

  6. Mothers Of The Disappeared - U2

    Midnight, our sons and daughters

    Were cut down and taken from us

    Hear their heartbeat...

    We hear their heartbeat

    In the wind

    We hear their laughter

    In the rain

    We see their tears

    Hear their heartbeat...

    We hear their heartbeat

    Night hangs like a prisoner

    Stretched over black and blue

    Hear their heartbeat...

    We hear their heartbeat

    In the trees

    Our sons stand naked

    Through the walls

    Our daughters cry

    See their tears in the rainfall
