T.G.I.F. (sorta)

Yeah, TGIF, but when you are retired it doesn't have the same impact that it used to.

So I was listening to some youtube music and stumbled across this great little party song from Jonathon Edwards, titled "Shanty". Doesn't sound too exciting, but give it a listen. It is pretty short.

I used to listen mostly to the great KZAM FM station in Seattle, then migrated over to "The Mountain" (KMTN, or KMTT) when KZAM died. They would play this song every Friday at 5:00 in order to get the weekend off to a good start! Party on, dudes!

I was a country rock kid, growing up. Pretty fine line between bluegrass, two step country and country rock. Toss in a bit of Hank Sr. and Elvis, and you get songs like this. Thanks for sharing...!

I like it, especially the last few lines. It sounds perhaps too familiar to me! But I was spurred to go to the fridge for an icy Coors Light.

I was starting to hate you again, but you get a reprieve for that song.

I doubt that YOU needed any spurring to get your buzz on.

Sorry for messing up your mind, but I am sure I will soon be back on your bad side......

I do really enjoy some good bluegrass. For several years straight we went to the big Wintergrass festival in Tacoma, back in the 90's. Freshman year there was a Chinese guy from Los Angeles in the room next to me that brought up some music from CA that I hadn't heard before. Think one was Pink Floyd, another was Mungo Jerry, and then there was Uncle Charlie and his Dog Teddy, by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. We got to be good friends and I got into the new stuff that he brough to listen to. I had no idea that the NGDB was actually bluegrass, just knew I liked it. Loves me some good banjo! My roommate and I went to see NGDB in Bohler Gym either freshman or soph year, great concert. All these years gone by, hundreds of times listening to it, and I still love hearing Mr Bojangles. Thank you Jerry Jeff Walker for writing such a great song.
