🎙️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.

Did President Trump Give My Mama COVID? 😳🇺🇸

Yesterday, President Trump was here in the Atlanta area. As I watched him on TV, it reminded me of a story my mama told me about how she ended up with COVID.

My mother is good friends with a lady and her husband. The husband is an attorney, and one of his close friends serves on President Trump’s legal team.

When Trump came down with COVID back in 2o2O, the attorney on his team got it. He then passed it to my mama’s friend… and my mama caught it from him.

So around our house we’ve always joked that President Trump gave my sweet mama the COVID…

because apparently… he did. 😳🇺🇸💁‍♂️

But it’s okay… stranger things have happened.

Hey everyone… hope you’re doing good this night.

Hope you enjoy… thanks for listening.

Social Distortion — Hidden Gems from the B-Side (Week 33) 🖤 e̷d̷i̷t̷e̷d̷

🎧 Bakersfield • Can’t Take It With You

Social Distortion’s story is pretty unique. Mike Ness is a unique guy. A lot of his roots are in old country music. He’s also got a solo record where he covers many old country songs.

But when he started the band in 1978, they were full-on punk, rebellious teenagers—completely immersed in that music scene.

Over the years, though, you can see the evolution. The country, rock, and blues slowly made its way into their sound, and it’s just so cool to see them still at it today.

Much respect.

Here are two from the later years.

🎧 Bakersfield

🎧 Can’t Take It With You

From the album Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes 2o11

I’ve also included a recent ½ hour performance from a few months ago for a small audience at a radio station in California promoting their new record, Born to Kill.

Hope you enjoy.

Psalm 143:9–12 (My Version)

Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies… I flee unto Thee for refuge to hide me. Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God, Thy Spirit is good. Lead me into the land of uprightness onto level ground because of mine enemies. Quicken me, O Lord, for Jesus Christ’s namesake. Preserve my life. In Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. In Thy steadfast love cut off mine enemies and destroy all them that afflict my soul. For I am Thy servant, Thy friend, Thy child.

Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr. Legacy (Week 22)

I’ve Been Down & I’d Love to Knock the Hell Out of You ♩♪♫

I’ve been kind of bummed out for a few days now… not a whole lot to say. Life will straight show up on you. These next two songs have a 17 year gap between them… and take you to different places. The second song really cracks me up, and I need some laughs tonight.

Because I’ve been down.

 🎙️ Songs From the Bathroom #2

Covers of Florida Georgia Line & Sister Hazel

So I decided to start this series because I thought it would be fun to share and let yall see what I’ve been up to over the past couple of months.

I started doing these recordings about two months ago. A mix of Christian and secular. During the first month, I was just using the WhatsApp recorder, so the sound quality is pretty rough—very lo-fi—but on some of those I still managed to captured some cool moments.

About a month ago, I downloaded Lexis Audio Editor, and the sound quality is a lot better. This week I have two songs for you… Cruise by Florida Georgia Line and Your Winter by Sister Hazel, which I recorded last night. I also tried singing it in the key of D for the first time.

Anyway, I hope yall enjoy them. Thanks for listening.🎙️

Your Winter – Sister Hazel
Cruise – FGL
