This week’s song is “I Found The Lilly In My Valley” by Quinton Mills. This was one of Pa’s favorites that he sang all the time. Unfortunately I do not have on online copy of him singing it, but this will work.
Here is another of my favorite country songs. It is real country, not like all that new fangled crap.
“Old Habits” - Hank Williams Jr.
This is really, one of my very favorite songs. It does what country music should do, move you emotionally. The thought of losing my wife, in any way, is horrifying to me, and Hank has captured that emotion in this song.
The Song of the Week is back! This week’s tune is one that means a lot to me. My dear wife sent it to me a long time ago. I am so lucky to have her, and this one perfectly describes our relationship.
This week we have something from the everchanging Herbie Hancock. This is from his 1973 release “Head Hunters”, and is named “Watermelon Man”. It is funkalicious!
Unfortunately a couple of weeks were missed here for my Song of the Week. After thinking about posting three songs to make up for the shortage, I decided not to. Those weeks are gone, and will never be regained. So without further delay, here is the song for this week.
Continuing the jazz theme, although in a totally different genre of jazz, we have the classic “Take Five” by the Dave Brubek Quartet.
Edit: OK I gotta add one more. This is my favorite house jam from back when I actually went clubing, which seems like a lifetime ago. Hearing it now, brings back a lot of memories, both good and bad. This song is funky!
