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

Clancy's Tavern by Toby Keith

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 by Nate Smith

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...
The Walk Sawyer Brown

The Walk — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's song is "The Walk" by Sawyer Brown. This song has always struck a chord with me. I lost my dad when I was eight and always wondered how different things might have been. Hope you enjoy!
We Just Disagree by Dave Mason

We Just Disagree — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's song is "We Just Disagree" by Dave Mason. This 1977 song has always been a favorite. The core message of this song has always resonated with me. It is probably even more relevant today than it was then. How about you?
Dan Fogelberg

Rhythm of the Rain

This Friday's song is "Rhythm of the Rain." I picked two versions of the song. The first is the 1962 original by the Cascades and the second the 1990 cover by Dan Fogelberg. Hope you enjoy!
Common Ground by Heath Sanders

Common Ground — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's song is "Common Ground" by Health Sanders. The theme of this song really hit me when it came across my YouTube stream last week. With war, disease, and economic turmoil continuing to disrupt the lives of millions across the globe and political/social divisions continuing to grow here in the United States, perhaps each of us should take a minute to consider that "when times runs out, we all end up in common ground."
Elaine Paige Singing Memory from Cats The Musical

Memory — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's song is "Memory" from the musical Cats. I chose this song because Teresa and I saw Cats in Miami on New Year's Eve in 2008. This was a little more than a month after we first met. Little did I realize how true the words from this song would be for me...
David Bowie and Bing Crosby Perform Peace On Earth / Little Drummer Boy

Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy

This Friday's song is "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy" performed by Bing Crosby and David Bowie. It is almost hard to believe it has been over forty-five years since this was performed. I remember seeing this when it was first broadcast. It was a symbolic coming together of two generations. Perhaps each of us can take a moment to listen, reflect, and find ways to do this again today. Hope you enjoy "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy" performed by Bing Crosby and David Bowie.
The Everly Brothers Bye Bye Love Ed Sullivan Show 1957

Bye Bye Love — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's song is "Bye Bye Love" by the Everly Brothers. The Everly Brothers performed this song on the Ed Sullivan show several times. I chose their debut performance in 1957 and the much more mellow version they did in 1961 for this week's post. I hope you enjoy!
Wednesday Addams Dance Scene

Goo Goo Muck — This Friday’s Song

This Friday's song is Goo Goo Muck by the Cramps because it just had to be... Half the country is dancing or at least humming to it since Jenna Ortega took to the dance floor as Wednesday Addams to the 1980 version by the Cramps.
