marcoujor: Musical Intermission - "R"

 
​August Authors is a website  created by Shannon Henry as a way to share her passion for reading and writing with others. It is for anyone who loves to read and for those who love to write.

In Shannon's own words, "August Authors is meant to explore both the real lives of authors and the fictional lives authors create. Everyone has a story. Some people tell their stories. And some people use their stories to create more stories for others."

​"A Chat with Maria Jordan" is her most recent interview done with yours truly. Some of the questions gave me a mental workout for sure.

Thanks for this feature and all the best to you with August Authors, Shannon.

​As far as the music this week, the "R's" have it - enjoy!

Something Old:

​I can feel Mom smiling down on this song - sad as heck but most country songs from those days were. Where is my hairbrush microphone btw ... ?!

Something New:

​Jason Isbell serves as today's chaser to Kitty Wells. Although Jason got his musical start in 2001 with the Drive-By Truckers, I didn't learn about him until the last few years. He sings like an old "country" soul - I believe Mom would have loved his sound as much as I do. 

Something Borrowed:

​No way could I exclude The Boss from this alphabetical musical ​intermission.
​An extra bonus is the soulful sax played by Mr. Clarence Clemons - the best ever IMHO. 

While I always liked Bruce's music, I became hooked in 2003 when we heard him in concert at the Lincoln Financial Theater in Philly - thanks, Henry!​

Something Blue:

​Eugene "Hideaway" Bridges is a bluesy combination of good humor and inspiration. The title of this song is one of my chief life mantras - Rise Above It - (see Murdock, I was listening).​
