Plant a little garden; eat a lot of peaches - songs I really dig
Comments (12)Yes, my sister and I sing the flag decal song. It ought to be played on the radio, and the saga about "Sam Stone", too. Sam Stone is really relevant now with all the young men and women serving around the world who are coming home with shattered bodies and shatter minds. Jeez! SAM STONE - written and performed by John Prine Sam Stone came home, To his wife and family After serving in the conflict overseas. And the time that he served, Had shattered all his nerves, And left a little shrapnel in his knee. But the morphine eased the pain, And the grass grew round his brain, And gave him all the confidence he lacked, With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back. Chorus: There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, Jesus Christ died for nothin', I suppose. Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years, Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. Mmm.... Sam Stone's welcome home Didn't last too long. He went to work when he'd spent his last dime And Sammy took to stealing When he got that empty feeling For a hundred dollar habit without overtime. And the gold rolled through his veins Like a thousand railroad trains, And eased his mind in the hours that he chose, While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes... Repeat Chorus: There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, Jesus Christ died for nothin', I suppose. Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years, Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. Mmm.... Sam Stone was alone When he popped his last balloon Climbing walls while sitting in a chair Well, he played his last request While the room smelled just like death With an overdose hovering in the air But life had lost its fun And there was nothing to be done But trade his house that he bought on the G.I. Bill For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill Chorus There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, Jesus Christ died for nothin', I suppose. Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years, Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. Mmm.... ------------------------------ Annie...See MoreWhat music are you listening too, online?
Comments (16)I don't have any music on right now, but I listen to Bluegrass, and play 5-string banjo with several "jamm" bands every week! We have a great number of Bluegrass bands in the western end of Pennsylvania, and they are playing at several venues in the area, including W. Virginia, and Ohio! During the summer, our member supported bluegrass camp near Kittanning, Pa. has 3 weekend gatherings of musicians that come to play on stage, or jamm around the camp-fire, or just set around under the trees. We're always looking for new members to either come and listen, or join in the jamming fun! i can't receive music online, as i'm on a phone line hook-up. but i get enough playing time with our weekly jamms! by: Rustyj...See MoreAudible.com-What should I listen to?
Comments (20)There are lots of great books on Audible. Consult the NY Times Best Seller lists for suggestions. I listen to books when driving (alone) and when exercising. I use MP3 players rather than my smartphone, they're cheaper and I have less concern about their exposure to sweat and dropping. Listening to audiobooks has significantly improved my listening skills. Any slight distraction of thought will make me lose the flow of the story and cause me to do a rewind. I've become much more attentive over the years in meetings and social settings because I know any change of conscious thought distracts me from the discussions happening in front of me. In a live discussion, there's no rewind button. Although in many meetings and discussions, both a rewind AND a fast forward button could be useful....See MoreWhat do you listen to in your car?
Comments (55)Usually I switch between the public radio station and a local mostly "news" station which is unfortunately becoming more talk than news and info. But lately it's just too much political rhetoric that I wind up changing stations and when they're both polluted it goes off. There's a CD player in there but I don't use it. I usually have things on my mind and wind up making notes (on my digital recorder) so I don't forget. Only about a month until the election is over but then it's going to be too much holiday stuff on there. So, probably not listening to much. Have to rely on conversation when someone is with me. That can sometimes be tricky... :)...See Moreamylou321
