Fishin' Music

[ColdWaterFshr]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

Dirty Ed, who was active in the now defunct Riversmallies message boards, has three really nice CDs, one of them pretty much all songs about running rivers. I've been listening to them while heading to the river ever since I got them from him at the New River rodeo last summer.

Other than that, give me Ozark Mountain Daredevils and the two Circle Be Unbroken albums by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and I'm happy on the way.

I listen to a lot of oldies (because they were newies when I first heard them, making me an oldie, I guess) but driving home from the river, oldies put me in a melancholy mood, lost youth and all that. I'd rather listen to some stupid talk radio, or a baseball game on the radio, or NPR. If it's a long drive, I often just scan through the radio channels until I find something interesting. One time I came upon a station that was playing a really funny song...only part of it I still remember is:

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me

Than to have to get a frontal lobotomy.

Here's one Dirty Ed sang...I don't think I have all the words right but it's the general idea anyway:

We had some chickens, that laid no eggs

Had some chickens, that laid no eggs.

My wife said, "Honey, we're losin' money

'Cause our chickens ain't layin' no eggs.

But then a rooster came into our yard,

Caught those chickens right off their guard.

Now we got eggs, by the carton,

Since that rooster came into our yard.

Had a milk cow that gave no milk,

Had a milk cow that gave no milk.

Wife said, "Honey, we're losing money,

'Cause our milk cow don't give no milk."

But then that rooster came into our yard,

Caught that milk cow right off her guard.

Now we got eggnog, in glass bottles

Since that rooster came into our yard.

We had a fruit tree that bore no fruit.

Had a fruit tree that bore no fruit.

My wife said, "Honey, we're losin' money,

'Cause our fruit tree don't bear no fruit."

But then that rooster came into our yard,

Caught that fruit tree right off its guard.

Now we got eggplant, all wrapped in plastic,

Since that rooster came into our yard.

Had a gum machine, that gave no gum.

Had a gum machine that gave no gum.

Wife said, "Honey, we're losin' money,

'Cause our gum machine don't give no gum.

But then that rooster came into our yard,

Caught that gum machine right off its guard.

Now we got Chiclets, in cardboard boxes,

Since that rooster came into our yard.

But then that rooster became gay.

Yes that rooster done turned gay!

Wife said, "Honey, we're losin' money,

Since that ol' rooster done turned gay."

But then a new chicken came into our yard,

Caught that rooster right off its guard.

Now that rooster's laying chickens,

Since that chicken came into our yard!

Uncle Al, I had no idea that you were a supporter of California's Prop 19! Good for you!

I'm generally on my cell phone listening to one of my numerous female "friends" gush about how much they loved being ravaged by me the night (or day) before...Music to my ears.

PINK FLOYD ,Foo fighters,Peppers,Chevelle,STP Iron Maiden,on the way to the launch.

A little more mellow on the way home,Coldplay,Blues Travelers,Big Head Todd and maybe some old school country like Eddie Arnold or Patsy Cline.Sometimes I just listen to what Pandora gives me.

If that JJ Grey & Mofro is the stuff you had on in your truck Justin...Gonna give that a thumbs up! The line between blues & funk is a fine one, and those guys dance across it with style!
