I have posted another A-Z installment on the Err Bear Music page. It’s a pop/rock number which was inspired, in part, by an empty apartment and a full bottle of Jack Daniels.

I’ve been listening to the new Dwight Yoakam CD. I have heard a lot of records in my life (trust me). When I hear one now that jumps into my Top 50 all-time, that’s a rare and exciting thing. This one is Top 20 after two listens. If you like music at all, you simply have to own this CD.
It is country music the way real country people (that’s country folk- not the suits that have ruined mainstream country music) like it. It rocks from the first note through the last. It makes me want to turn up the stereo in a way I haven’t experienced in a long time.
There is not a good song on the record. There are 12 excellent ones.
Songs A-Z (Part E)
I have posted another A-Z installment on the newly rewritten (as of today) Err Bear Music page. It’s a folk/blues number with a line inspired by a Neil Young song.
New Rancho Radio Set
I uploaded a completely new playlist to Rancho Radio this afternoon. About 14 hours worth of great Alt. Country, Americana and Classic Rock.
This week’s set is a little deeper, with a lot of album cuts. It also rocks a little harder than most recent sets.

Mock Opera
Here’s a musical version of what happened today. Set to the tune of Leon Russell’s most excellent Shootout on the Plantation.
The Cast
Punkin……Cassidy (her lifelong nickname)
Bub Head….Raina (also a nickname)
Dodo……..Me (this is what the kids call me)
The Bears…Cassidy, Delaney & Raina
Lucky Dog…Lucky Dog
***
Punkin and the Bub Head are fighting
About a day camp in the neighborhood
The Punkin never learned how to do what she’s told
And Bub Head wishes she would
Dodo said the Bears are for lovin’ not fighting
But that didn’t clear the air
‘Cause Punkin’s still acting
Like she lives in the jungle
While Bub pulls out her hair
The Punkin got the ‘tude
The Bub Head got the treats
Dodo’s an easy mark
So they both run to me
It’s a shootout on the plantation
It’s so hard to understand
Why are some people so hard headed
Neither one’s the villain
The last one to bed
Is the first to call
And using mean talk
Gets you nowhere at all
It’s a shootout on the plantation
Heaven help Lucky Dog
And the threat of no sleepovers
Enough to cause her blood to freeze
But the Punkin’s still growling
Like some feral beast
And doing just what she pleases
Bellaire’s lonesome daddies are tuned into
Their TV shows
Trying to find a safe place to hide
Before the volcano blows
