AS WE FACE THIS NEW CHALLENGE OF THE “UNKNOWN” TOGETHER
LET US KEEP A HOPEFUL MIND, HEALTHY BODY & HAPPY HEART
AND LEND A CHEERFUL WORD TO ANOTHER TO HELP


THIS TOO SHALL PASS: WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN
BUT BY SHARING A KIND ENCOURAGING WORD TO ANOTHER
BY LENDING A HELPING HAND
WE CAN BE THAT SMALL SURGE OF HOPE TO SOMEONE IN NEED

I listened to just about all the John Prine on youtube the other day. Most of it I had not heard, but I think I had heard that song, When Worlds Collide, which he did with Bonnie Rait, but seems like I also heard George Jones and Tammy Wynette sing that. I've got a Bonnie Rait CD from when she won seemingly everything at the Grammys. Haven't listened to it in awhile. I think that Angel from Montgomery is on that CD. That lady Iris Dement has a great country sound too.

The title of that one makes me laugh so I know the song has got to be pretty funny. I saw Conway as a solo act in Hot Springs. Not sure when that was. He put on a heck of a show. Always liked him.

Yes indeed I am well familiar with that song
as I have been a country music fan for a long time
with my favorites being

GARTH BROOKS
VERN GOSDEN
CONWAY TWITTY
MERLE HAGGARD
DIXIE CHICKS
EMMY LU HARRIS
DOLLY
BROOKS + DUNN
Patty and I had the great pleasure to see Garth in concert, I believe back in the early 90's. Awesome singer and he puts on an amazing show, one of the best I've ever seen and by comparison, I've seen Paul McCartney in concert twice.

Wow, I wondered whether you guys liked my music or not. I guess I know now.

Here is another attempt to "soothe the savage beast(s)" among us. Whether you are liberal or conservative, if you don't like this one, there is surely something wrong with you and that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

His comments have nothing to do with YOU!

It was a reaction to a post of mine that had the name Trump
Relating to the song
The End of the World by Skeeter Davis

I was wrong in including politics in a horseracing forum
and I deleted my original comments

No worries. I was just jokingly trying to defuse the situation. I am not mad at anybody. Most of my comments are meant to make people laugh. I am seldom serious. Too old to fight with anybody anymore and maybe wise enough to know it never makes anything any better.

Even better version
At least for me
Same song

Celine Dion and Josh Groban

The Prayer
David Foster, Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Mark Masri, Michael Bolton, Carole Bayer …

Can we touch the soul of heaven
Can we unite a sacred lesson
Every child creates a skylight of beauty
Can you hear cathedrals falling
All the universe is calling

Cry a single cello from your heart
Since the world has lost her way
Loneliness journey, endlessly
Yet the promised chance remains
Gift of what could be

So let the children remember the sun
Let them dance, let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer

Every voice along the shoreline
Standing still within time
Spinnin' unresolved
Walking as each season passes
Through wonderland, through walking glasses

A secret garden shines, beckons you
Gentle flower don't fade away
Sweet innocence still harbors thee
In the faint of golden dreams
Where one love lives eternally

Let the children remember the sun
Let them dance, let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer, prayer


Bless the children for they are the light
They are the truth of spirit in flight
Yes the children engender the rain
As the river runs through life
Healing their pain

If you could trust with your heart one more time
Sweet angel conceived
You have forever and always believed,
The Prayer

There are lots of versions of the song and none bad as far as I could tell. I liked the Groban/Dion version and the Bocelli/Dion version and the Bocelli/McPhee and of course the one I posted. I think I was just impressed with this girl that reportedly got her start on youtube, but there are lots of good, unheralded singers on youtube. Maybe it helps that she's just prettier than Celine. Just joking. Saw Celine in Vegas and she was terrific!!

Default My Mantra

THE SONG LYRICS I LIVE LIFE BY {Sadly Enough}


The Dance
Garth Brooks

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
but I'd of had to miss the dance
