Sharing a new song we discovered or a favorite from our music collection every Friday.

Two of My Tina Turner Favorites

This Friday's song is actually two songs by the amazing Tina Turner. I picked "What's Love Got to Do with It" and "Proud Mary". The world is much richer for the gifts this strong and amazing woman gave to all of us.

Born to be Wild — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's song is "Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf. There was a cover of this song at the end of the latest Brokenwood Mysteries episode that brought back a lot of memories.
Sometimes She Stays Kip Moore

Sometimes She Stays — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's song is "Sometimes She Stays" by Kip Moore. This really spoke to me when I heard it. Since Mother's Day will be this weekend, I would like to dedicate this to my wife Teresa. I probably would retitle it "Thank God She Stays".

The Breath You Take — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's song is "The Breath You Take" by George Strait. I have been in a reflective mood for the past few weeks. Not really down, but lots of things seem challenging.

A Man This Lonely by Brooks and Dunn

A Man This Lonely — This Friday’s Song

Clancy’s Tavern — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's song is one of my favorites in our music collection. "Clancy's Tavern" by Toby Keith was released in October 2011. My poor wife will tell you I drove her crazy because it was playing several times a day for weeks.

Wreckage — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's Song is "Wreckage" by Nate Smith. This song really spoke to me when I first heard it. After my divorce, it was hard to imagine ever loving or trusting again. But God took pity on a broken man and brought Teresa into my life.

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You

This Friday's song is "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" by Van Morrison. I picked this song for my wife Teresa. We are celebrating our twelfth wedding anniversary this weekend. My darling Teresa, Van Morrison says it better than I ever could...
