This blog was a present from my daughter, to help me get in touch with those who share my preferences and to provide some information I have about country music (which I find difficult to get)

"When Rabbit said, 'Honey or condensed milk with your bread?' he was so excited that he said, 'Both,' and then, so as not to seem greedy, he added, 'But don't bother about the bread, please." - A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Sister Mary
(and the talking frog )
Sister Mary walking
Sister Mary walking around some time
Hears a sofly talking
Hears a sofly talking from a frog by her side
If you take me and hold me
If you hold me and kiss me
Iīll turn into a prince
And will love you all the time
Sister Mary takes him
Sister Mary holds him
But no kisses at all
Later on the talking
Later on the talking comes again once more
If you keep and hold me
If you hold me and kiss me
Iīll turn into a prince
And will love you all the time
Sister Mary keeps him
Sister Mary holds him
But no kisses at all
Days keep on going
Days keep on going with no change at all
The frog get nervous
The frog get nervous and tries again the call
If you keep me and hold me
If you hold me and kiss me
Iīll turn into a prince
And will love you all the time
Sister Mary holds him
Sister Mary holds him and feels against the wall
Have no time for boyfriends
But keeping a talking frog
Looks for me just fine

According to my dad politics do not deserve to be mentioned here. So, the text that used to be here was saved on my computer for my private reading only!!! (because I am a fan of my dad, you know? :))

"Walk our own road" - RANDY TRAVIS
There's do'ers and don'ters and I wills and won'ters
and them, that don't even try
Givers and takers, movers and shakers
And them that are just passing by
Skidrows and winos and some folks that I know
That don't do like I think they should
I thought they were livin' their lifes all wrong
Long, before I understood
We all have to walk our own road
We can't always go where we're told
In the end where it'll end up - the Lord only knows
But we all have to walk our own road
I've had some good times and I've had a good life
And I've had things goin' my way
I've walked the highground and treasures that I've found
An' women who brightened my day
Then there were times I was caught in the crosswinds
With life - goin' 'round and around
Like a ship with no sail I was caught in a gale
Til I fin'ly just ran it a-ground
We all have to walk our own road
We can't always go where we're told
In the end where it'll end up - the Lord only knows
But we all have to walk our own road

"Grown Men Don't Cry" - by Tim Mcgraw
I pulled into the shopping center
And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother
Like ice cream melting they embraced
Years of bad decisions runnin' down her face
All mornin' I'd been thinkin' my life's so hard
And they wore everything they own, livin' in a car
I wanted to tell him it would be ok
But I got just got in my suburban and I drove away
But I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
Keep having this dream about my old man
I'm 10 years old, and he's holding my hand
We're talkin' on the front porch watchin' the sun go down
But it was just a dream he was a slave to his job and he couldn't be around
So many things I wanna say to him
But I just placed a rose on his grave, and I talk to the wind
But I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry
I'm sittin' here with my kids and my wife
And everything that I hold dear in my life
We say grace and thank the Lord
Got so much to be thankful for
Then it's up the stairs and off to bed and my little girl says
"I haven't had my story yet."
And everything weighin' on my mind disappears just like that
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says,
"I Love You Dad"
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry

CNN questioned, on their website, if it is ethical for President Bush to use 9/11 pictures on his campaign.
Iīd like to say that if the president thinks he can use them in his favor, thatīs ok. Because it all happened during his term. I think itīs hard for him to handle it this way, because if we look deep into the problem, weīll be able to see that it all happened due to the bad service of such people like FBI, CIA, and so. These services are so efficient while hunting Mexicans and Brazilians (whose only and one purpose is to get a better way of living), but close their eyes to people who are historical enemies to the US, AND ARE WELCOMED TO DO WHAT THEY WANT (have pilot training, for ex.) when they need.

"Good Luck Charm" - Elvis Presley
(words & music by Aaron Schroeder - Wally Gold)
Don't want a four leaf clover
Don't want an old horse shoe
Want your kiss 'cause I just can't miss
With a good luck charm like you
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
Don't want a silver dollar
Rabbit's foot on a string
The happiness in your warm caress
No rabbit's foot can bring
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
If I found a lucky penny
I'd toss it across the bay
Your love is worth all the gold on earth
No wonder that I say
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

Country Joke
There was once an old-time cowhand who ordered some toilet paper from a mail-order catalog.
They wrote back and requested that he look in his catalog to give them the exact order number.
He answered them right back and told them that if he had their catalog, he sure wouldnīt need the toilet paper.
(from the book Songs of the wild frontier by Wayne Erbsen)

Country Joke
One cowboy was so cheap he went into a general store and insisted on buying just one spur.
When the shopkeeper protested against breaking up a set, the cowboy swore that where one side of his horse went, the other side was sure to follow. (from the same book)

Country joke
A big-city, California, lawyer went duck hunting in rural Texas. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a rancher's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly cowboy rode up on his horse and asked him what he was doing.
The litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell into this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it."
The old rancher replied, "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."
The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own."
The old cowboy smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things in Texas. We settle small disagreements like this with the Texas Three-Kick Rule."
The lawyer asked, "What is the Texas Three-Kick Rule?"
The rancher replied, "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."
The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the farmer and agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old cowboy slowly climbed down from the horse and walked up to the city feller. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy cowboy boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick nearly wiped the man's nose off his face. The barrister was flat on his belly when the cowbly's third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up. But the lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said, "Okay, you old coot! Now, it's my turn!"
The old cowboy smiled and said, "Nope, I give up. You can have the duck."

Country Facts
Johnny Cash, who has passed away a month ago, used to make showns in prisons, all around the US. He had some songs recorded at these shows. He was a big friend and partner of Merle Haggard who, back on his younger days, had spent some time in prison due to his faults.
They were talking one day about the great shows they have done. Jonhhy was saying that heīd never forget a show at a prison (in California I suppose) where there was such a big audience. So, Merle said "that was really a wonderfull show. I was there". "I donīt remember seeing you there at that time", Johnny answered. "Sure I was", said Merle. "I was in the audience".

A very ordinary theme in country music. Many songs are written about this issue. Talks about the dream some people have of leaving their small town and head for fame and fortune on silver screen in Hollywood. In this case, the girl went away leaving the boy (a truckdriver as it seems) behind with memories and wishes for her to come back if things donīt work out there in California.
Picture from Don Williams' homepage
"If Hollywood Don't Need You (Honey I Still Do)" - Don Williams
(Dave Hanner)
Album: 20 Greatest Hits
Well you know Iīm not much good at writinī letters
So I gave up and decided that Iīd call
No thereīs really not much news to tell you
Things back here, they never change at all
Itīs cold today, itīs cold here for November
But I hear the weatherīs warm out there
Oh and if you see Burt Reynolds Chorus (1)
Would you shake his hand for me?
And tell old Burt, Iīve seen all his movies
Well I hope you make the big time
I hope your dreams come true
But if Hollywood donīt need you
Honey I still do
Last night I drove the truck to Amarillo
Some friends and I had a laugh or two
But lately we donīt cut up like we used to
Cause all that I can think about is you
I know this is what youīve always wanted
But all I know now that all I want is you
Repeat Chorus (2) So if you see...
If Hollywood donīt need you
Honey I still do...
