here is wishing everyone a speedy recovery, having suffered a few hold my beer and watch this self inflicted injuries and preforming health defying stunts over the years I feel your pain so to speak. come to think of it that may be what's wrong with me now ,one to many blows to the head. I don't remember ( see previous sentence ) who here summed it up pretty well with the saying getting old is not for sissies. but all this does give inspiration for a song of the month, Up on cripple creek.
in no particular order here a few of the self inflicted
broken arm - skate board
concussion/amnesia - football
broken arm - ladder
concussion - dirt bike
dislocated shoulder - dirt bike
road rash/ stiches- street bike
broken elbow- car wreck
and the list goes on, my accident rate has gone way down as I got older and wiser. so when some one says hold my beer it is me holding the beer now because its lot more fun and less painful being the first responder than the respondee.

people from all over are sending help, our neighbors to the east have sent the Cajun navy. every red neck in texas with a boat has headed that way to assist.i would be going my self with my friends but I leave for work in the morning. say what you want about this country but when a neighbor is in trouble or any one for that matter Americans drop what they are doing and come to the rescue. thanks for the thoughts and prayers on behalf of my fellow Texans

Can't help but think there is a song in there with how you posted that title ...... I was just sitting here thinking about the opening line,,,,,
well it's raining here in Texas, don't know when it will end
well it's flooding here in Texas, gonna need some help my friends
I hope there is no further loss of life. With all the other dumbass stuff going on in our country, maybe we can instead focus on helping the good folks of Texas recover.
Best wishes and prayers to all of the Texans that are suffering.
Jim
well I am afraid the first line is taken. texas flood was a big SRV hit not sure who wrote it. it was kind of his anthem.

Peatle Jville wrote:Mojo great choice of song. It is the first time this Gringo has heard that song and I enjoyed it immensely. I was just wondering what is the DEA the cowboy was running from???
that would be the drug enforcement agency
well it looks like I missed out on a good time. cant wait to see the rest of the pictures
ok so I had every intention of doing bad moon rising, been playing that one for a long time. never realized how bad I sounded singing it until I recorded it. lets just say it don't fit my voice. so instead here is a song I just learned last month by REK.

interesting as I never really thought about it my self until a few weeks ago. I had made my first CD with the song Zelie that I wrote for my newest granddaughter, and gave the wife and daughter for mothers day. every one loved it including my first grand daughter who is four. now here is where the problem comes in, the wife tells me you need to write a song for your other grand kids. well that would mean three more songs. and that is where the why I write question comes in, I don't why or where they come from.if I sit down with a specific subject in mind to write a song you can forget it. now a certain line or phrase pops in my head and I can relate it to something bingo the song just kind of materializes. so I guess my answer to the question why I write is I don't know. a perfect example is I think is what seems to be the favorite of everyone when they ask me to play one of my songs. oil field trash. that first line "staring at the bottom the bottom of an empty glass "sat in my note book for a longtime. I always had visions of a song about drinking to much coming out of that line.but one night sitting at work looking through my note book I read the line and the second line just kind of popped in my head and the rest just kind of wrote itself. sure it came from experience but I did not sit down with the intention of writing a song about the oil field life. which gets back to where this started the wife does not understand why I just don't sit down and write three more songs for the other grand kids. i suppose if I could do that I wouldn't be working in the oil field I might rich and famous song writer. ahh there is the answer I want to be rich and famous. there is probably a song in that somewhere. well now I am staring at the bottom of an empty glass so I will shut up now before I say something really stupid. as the others have said Peatle great conversation starter thanks for posting it

as promised here is a quick cover of a pirate looks at forty
well the timing on this post is coincidental. I flew out of Houston intercontinental air port ( sorry i am old school George H bush IAH now )on the fourth to go work and while I was checking in I noticed a guy standing off to the side and said to my self that is dusty hill from zz top. he disappeared before I could get my phone out and get a picture. well two hours later who is sitting two rows in front of me ? ZZ top. they had them in a special section in front of business class with a curtain closed once we were airborne so I never got the opportunity to get a picture and I am not the type to bug some one for an autograph but it was pretty cool sitting that close to a group I have listening to since I was a kid. I guess they have a persona to keep up never saw them the whole flight with out the cheap sun glasses on. they had their roadies with them they were in business class with the regular folks

sorry to hear of your loss
I usually check in once a day to see what's going on, I just don't post much. I suppose I live by the old saying better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt
