This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| Last night, I watched a country music Christmas special, time that I would not normally spend in front of the TV. I enjoyed it. The first thing I noticed, the women were clothed, for a change, I suppose because more children would be watching, and there was a lot of Christian music and at least one Christian musician, Michael Smith. Next, I had never heard of at least half the performers.Supposedly, these were award winning, top selling artists. I never saw them or heard their names before. I'm just not up to date on the music scene, I guess! In fact, it looks like I've missed a few years.The ones I did know included Alan Jackson, who is looking, mmm, older, and Steven Tyler, who's looking very old. Even my elderly father, who watched on his big screen, told me he didn't know who that long-haired guy in the red coat was, but he sounded pretty good with Brad Paisley. That would be Tyler. Yes, I do know who Brad Paisley is, and Carrie Underwood, and Michael Smith, and Little Big Town, who were great. Leanne Rimes performed, too. I have to admit I know more about her from the tabloid type news than actually listening to her music. I thought I would get bored quickly and give it up, but the show was quite good. Some songs are always moving, no matter who performs them. White Christmas, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (James Taylor's cover is my favorite), Silent Night, these always tug on the heart strings and bring back memories and old feelings. ( get carried away by Dan Fogleberg's "Another Auld Lang Zine, and will have to sit in the car until it finishes playing whenever I hear it.) It was a very entertaining special if you like Christmas music or country twang or both. There was little corny humor like you would expect, no silliness, just music. It's worth a watch if you get a chance. |
