In my opinion, most of the country music today is just plain awful. They've been trying to "cool" up the country music image and make it more "hip"... hence in doing so, country music now really sounds sort of like pop music.....
I like the older stuff from guys like Dwight Yoakam, George Straight, Randy Travis, Hank Williams jr..... guys of that ilk.
Every once in a while when the CMA awards are on, I watch it for a few minutes, and man... it just sucks.... LOL
Once again... my humble opinion....
One of my favorite songs is All Your Life by the Band Perry. I dunno what it is about that song....I sing it over and over.
And Goodbye In Her Eyes, by Zac Brown? My gosh...that's an amazing song.
This here is for Sixy..... some seriously smooth crooner jazz here by ol Harry Connick.
This song is just lovely.... really slow and soulful......... I hope you listen to it....I hope you like it too...
Love that song. That was originally done by the Uniques years ago...before I was born if I'm not mistaken. I used to have their record ( Boy that made me sound old! lol)
I love jazz...LOVE IT. This is one of my favorite "bedroom" songs from Norah Jones. It's so sensual...can't help but "daydream" when I hear it:
My wife is a middle school ELA (English) teacher. I help her out as much as I can (organizing graded papers, filing, etc.), and last night was no exception. Her students are going through standardized testing (STAAR, for those that want to know) this week, and she needed to make a goodie bag for each student (130 kids total). She and I were up till 12:30 this morning getting all of them put together (including making 130 beaded bracelets by hand!). I never knew how much work goes into teaching until I met and married her.
Much props to all teachers out there...truly an underappreciated profession!

Yup...it is a lot of work. Your wife has some tough grading there though. I teach math and science so most of the grading I do is short answer or just correcting their strategies for problem solving. When I taught all subject areas I used to LOVE teaching ELA but I can't say I loved grading their writing.
Our EOG's are at the end of May. Almost crunch time!

Yeah, it's tough. Add to that the fact that she works in an urban district with kids who may/may not know English as their primary language AND the fact that most of their reading levels range between 2nd-4th grade...it certainly complicates things when it comes time to grade homework!

That was a nice song. I like some of Nora's stuff. I never used to, but I'm slowly checking her out. I like that song she does, Chasing Pirates..... nice catchy number.
Not the best day to go to watch the Reds play, but they won, so it was a good day!
Then we stopped at an amazing coffee shop, where the coffee was unbelievable. It's way out of the way, but if I'm looking for something out of the way, that's where I'll be looking to go more often!
It snowed again today. LOL Just flurries this time. They tell us Spring will be here tomorrow. I'll believe it when I'm not freezing my a$$ off!
That's a side effect of losing weight I didn't anticipate. I am cold all the time. I thought I was just becoming a wimp, and then I realized I have almost 60 pounds less of insulation.
It's been in the 70's, sunny, warm, no wind here...
