Colossians 2:8-10 KJV
⁸ Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
⁹ For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
¹⁰ And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power.`’.,°~
Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr. Legacy (Week 26)
🎧 Two Old Cats Like Us • When Something is Good Why Does it Change
So I’ve written several times about how I started playing guitar in 1988, but officially, it started a little bit before that. It was around ’83, probably. I was like 9 years old.
My friend DJ had a drum set and an electric guitar, and that summer we thought we were rockstars. He brought the beats, and I came up with the riffs and lyrics. We wrote our own songs back then. 😄
Those days are long gone. DJ is a pilot today for Delta Airlines, and me? I’m flying high too. 🎸 🥁 🛬
Here’s a great duet with Ray Charles and Hank from around that same time and When Something Is Good, Why Does It Change?
Hope yall have a great weekend, and thanks for listening.

Two Tears
I awoke at midnight…
no one to tell.
Then thoughts found feelings…
as my conscience dwelled.
There deep in my eyes…
two tears did swell.

Social Distortion — Hidden Gems from the B-Side (Week 36) 🖤
🎧 Maybellene • I Wasn’t Born to Follow
I woke up around 4:30 AM this morning and laid there for a little bit. Lately I’ve been having a lot of creative thoughts shortly after waking up as I lie still in the dark and think… think… think.
Then the 1955 Chuck Berry song Maybellene came to mind just randomly. Haha… how strange, right? Social D does a great rendition of it. The other one is another well-written Mike Ness original, I Wasn’t Born to Follow.
Also, I’m really thinking back on my life today… if only.
Thanks for listening. Hope you enjoy.

Human Jukebox e̷d̷i̷t̷e̷d̷
What’s a song lyric that has stuck with you forever?
Umm… all of them? 🤷♂️
Being a musician that has specialized in covers from many different genres for almost 40 years now, it’s hard for me to give you just one. Most days I wake up with a different song on my lips and in my heart. Throughout the day, more lyrics come to me. I’m like a human jukebox with thousands of songs memorized.
I’m the same way with books, poems, and literature. I’ve memorized so much over the years. For example, when I first read Julius Caesar by Shakespeare as a teenager, I memorized the parts I really liked. In 7th grade, I auditioned for All-State Chorus and had to sing a solo. I chose the song version of Thomas Ford’s poem, There Is a Lady Sweet and Kind.
The Bible is no different for me. I have many chapters memorized in several translations. Psalm 91, for example, I know in three different translations and recite almost every day.
The reason I mention all this is because, to me, songs and lyrics are just like reading a book. You often hear writers and others talk about how important reading is. Well, I think songs are the same. They tell stories, they make you feel, they paint pictures with words, and I believe they can even help you become a better writer.
I’m constantly walking through lyrics, poems, Scripture, and literature in my mind. It’s always changing, always flowing. I’ve always been like this.
But I don’t want to send you away empty handed, so here’s some lyrics I’ve been thinking about some today… Jackson Browne, In the Shape of a Heart. I’ll probably cover this one soon.

People speak of love, don’t know what they’re thinking of
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
Speak in terms of belief and belonging
Try to fit some word/name to their longingPeople speak of love, don’t know what they’re thinking of
Reach out to each other through the push and shove
Speak in terms of a life and the learning
Try to think of a word for the burningPeople speak of love, don’t know what they’re thinking of
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
Speak in terms of a life and the living
Try to find the word for forgiving…

🎙️Songs From the Bathroom #12 e̷d̷i̷t̷e̷d̷
🎧 Covers from Randy Travis • Keith Urban
I was talking with my uncle recently. He’s a guitar picker too.
He wanted us to jam today, but I told him my fingers are in pretty bad shape and that I’m giving them a few days.
We got on the subject of famous guitarists from the past. He mentioned Stevie Ray Vaughan and his struggles with his fingers, loading up on many pain pills before shows just to make it through. I don’t know if that’s true, but according to my uncle it is. I’ve done similar things over the years just to get by when i had to play, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of musicians have.
These next two songs were recorded recently, and I barely made it through them because of my current finger situation.
I’ve been listening to a lot of ’90s country the past few days, so I thought I’d share a couple.
Actually the Randy song was from 1989 and the Keith song was 2oO3 so I just lied lol they just felt ’90s to me 😁
Hope you enjoy, and thanks for listenin’ partner 🤠

🎙️Sunday Songs From the Bathroom #11
🎧 Covers from Lauren Daigle • Tenth Avenue North
I woke this morning with the blues… the Sunday blues, to be more exact.
I was reminded of Kris Kristofferson’s “Sunday Morning Coming Down,” and for a moment I could feel myself walking that lonely sidewalk. I could almost smell the fried chicken.
Then my heart turned to others.
So I decided to forget myself, pray for those whose blue is a much darker shade than my own… and maybe even try on their shoes for a little while in my head.
So about these songs…
For the Lauren Daigle song “Still Rolling Stones,” I decided to amp it up a bit with the guitar lick. This is the first time I’ve ever tried to play it, and I just thought I’d do it a little differently.
And “Worn” by Tenth Avenue North was actually the very first song from the bathroom that I ever posted. I hid it inside another post though, so it was easy to miss. I thought I’d share it again.
Hope yall have a blessed day.

Love is a Chimney r̷e̷v̷i̷s̷e̷d̷³
…
Love is a chimney,
still on earth.
in toil and cry,
we are birthed.
the cradles they rot.
mom and dad
they died.
Love is a chimney.
still reaching for sky.

Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr. Legacy (Week 25)
🎧 I’m Just a Man • The Blues Medley
I once knew an old man… he was a total jerk… so mean and hateful and bitter. His words were like vomit.
The first time I was alone with him, I tried to reach out with a kind conversation. To break the silence, I said, “It sure is a beautiful day.”
Then, for about ten seconds… you could hear paint drying.
As he slowly turned and looked at me in utter disgust, he said, “You’re Captain F#ckin’ Obvious, aren’t ya?”
Honestly, I wasn’t offended. Instead, I let go of the biggest smile.
Over time, he and I became friends. We wore each other down… haha.
The more I was around him, the more he slowly got better. I did things for him like running errands, doing his shopping, and helping him with different things. And whenever he was a dick to me… which was often… I just fired off smile after smile like bullets at him.
As things got lighter, I began to witness another side of him. The walls started to come down. He opened up some. He would sometimes share words of wisdom with me.
Turns out he was well-read, had been to college, had earned degrees, and loved great literature and writing.
He once told me, “If you have a foot in yesterday and a foot in tomorrow, then you’re pissing all over today.”
He died alone… no wife… no family and very few friends… I’m determined to get better the older I get… not stay the same or get worse… the thought of ending like that scares the hell out of me.
And what are great words really? If not applicable.
…
…
I have two great songs for you today… I’m Just a Man and The Blues Medley featuring John Lee Hooker and Ray Charles along with Hank. The three of them together on this Delta blues number is something special.
And I’m Just a Man is kind of the mood I’m in today… because some things make me feel sad. I feel like I could cry… but feeling you next to me? Ahh… that makes me feel alright.
