Against The Wind (2011 - Bob Seger Live)

Whew he still has it after all these years and singing one of my all time favorite songs ....

  Against the Wind ----  Breaking all the rules that would bend, I began to find myself searching for shelter again and again.... Against the Wind...... Found myself seeking shelter against the wind. 

OLDER NOW..... but still running against the wind.... against the wind. 
still running... running against the wind .... I'm still running, running against the wind.
See the young man run.... watch the young man running against the wind... let the cowboys ride,
against the wind........................  I'll be riding against the wind .......... Older now.... but still running
                         AGAINST THE WIND...........  Yeah, that's Bob Seger, a little older now than he was in 1980 when he was running and doing night moves, but he's still running headlong into the wind. 

These trips down memory lane are saddening, leaves me to wonder if these guys are going to be the last real legends of Southern Rock, although others are trying, just hoping he's not the last of the dying breed.  or maybe it's just that I'm growing older right along with him, in 1980 I thought the world was a playground and I had to swing in all the swings and slide down all the slides, the swinging and sliding don't come as easy as they use to, but like Seger, I'm still running headlong into the wind. 

Turn the Page Kid Rock, Jamey Johnson, and Bob Seger

Turn the Page Kid Rock, Jamey Johnson, and Bob Seger  (Aug. 2010) (DTE)

Would love this on a cd (a live version) sigh.

In Color

Seems like ages ago that I shared Jamey Johnson's song with you, and I ran across this cover of it by
none other than Kid Rock, who is actually playing the piano and singing it.  I hope you enjoy it.

Hank Williams Jr. -- Da Blues Man -- Keep The Change & Kiss His A$$

The video abovd is one of my favorites .... Gimme 3 Steps - Skynard & Williams  -- you'll want your dancing shoes on for this one. 

Hey Baby I Love You, Hey Baby I Need You

I rarely watch television, but if Fox News has someone on that is an artist I like, I'll make a special effort to
listen to hear them and was listening the morning HWJr.'s promoting a cd turned into Kick his A$$ out of Monday Night football.  The result -- His new song -- Keep The Change

BTW, I do think what he said was taken out of context, but the end result was he lost one of the favorite things he liked doing ..... but he took it in HWJr fashion with a quirky kick A$$ song that pretty much sums it all up.  I don't care if you do or do not like HWJr., he should be respected for standing up for his beliefs, and for his support of our armed forces.  Can't you see what our country is coming to when only "special" people can express themselves, and others are not allowed ?   And that's pretty much the reasoning behind his song, but I digress, you can just listen for yourself and he'll give you a free download over on his website. 

Listen to Darryl Worley's song ............  

I watch the news and have to wonder if this country's going crazy, ....
I'm just the average joe, and that makes me smart enough to know there's other's
out here who think the same...........  GONNA KEEP OUR GOD  & OUR FREEDOM 

Ronnie Milsap - played keyboard on Elvis Kentucky Rain and sang harmony on Don't Cry Daddy

Once in every life someone comes along and you came to me... it was almost like a song;

You were in my arms, right where you belonged, and we were so in love, it was almost like a song.
Who couldn't love Ronnie Milsap?  The fact that he still has cd's in 2011, proves his worthiness of our time and ears.  One of our favorites is the one I posted, but I have alot of RM favorites. 
Here's a few more, if you don't know Ronnie's biography, I think I might have posted some info on him on here previously, but sorry my sciatica has had me in bed all day today and I'm not searching tonight, but will give you a little background on this amazing man ... and oh can you say J. J. Cale influcences.... yes, Ronnie's first real show was as a member of J. J. Cale's band, how awesome is that.  Mr. Riley Rhythm himself. 

Well basically some of Ronnie's bio goes like this.... he was raised by his father and grandparents after the divorce of his parents, he was born in Robbinsville, NC, and he was born blind from congenital glaucoma, he attended The Governor Moorhead School for the Blind at age 5, and a couple years later his tearchers experienced his amazing musical talents, thus he began to study formally (classical music).  

A single year after he began learning the violin, he was declared a virtuoso. He also mastered piano, guitar and a variety of other stringed instruments, as well as various woodwinds. Eventually, he became interested in rock 'n' roll and while still in school formed his first rock band, the Apparitions. He briefly attended college in Atlanta where he studied pre-law. Though he was awarded a comprehensive scholarship, he decided to become a full-time musician instead. His first professional gig was as a member of J.J. Cale's band in the early '60s.

Two amazing artists - hope you enjoy the songs.

Til next time, keep your eyes skyward, your heart in the right place,
your hands busy, and remember you aren't learning if your
mouth is moving when someone else is teaching.
