Did She Mention My Name is a great album. I love the whole U.A. collection but that album does have a lot of good tracks on it.

I love The Way I Feel...such a great song lyrically and musically both.

I am finding that Go-Go Round and May I both have an infectious melody that won't leave my head after I have listened to them.

Late this afternoon while feeding the horses, Carefree Highway was in my mind (hope the horses didn't mind the awful singing). Anyways I got done the chores and came it. I just got sat down to take my shoes off and low and behold guess what came on?? Yeah, Carefree Highway!! I thought Holy cow, isn't that something.
Another one that bounces around in there quite often is The Watchman's Gone and Brave Mountaineers. Brave Mountaineers reminds me so much of when I was a kid on our farm during the grain harvest in Ontario.... "And I need to be there". I could sit and listen to that song all day.

Me, I've had Whispers of the North, Seven Island Suite, Summertime Dream, and Spanish Moss running through my mind a lot lately.

Well finally the song in my head matched the topic. "Fading Away" today (with the line "I can go to the movies kind of repeating).

Well, yesterday it was Home From The Forest. I have grown to love that song so much but it's so hard for me to listen to...reminds me of someone.

Today I have had I'll Be Alright playing in my head.
I hummed it all the way through Walmart...lol.

Whispers of the North is such a beautiful song. I keep visiting the "What should I buy Next" thread so that I can listen to it again.
Guess I had better buy Salute soon...lol.

I highly recommend you buying "Salute," Nightingale. My 3 fav songs on that one are:

{1} Whispers Of The North

{2} Gotta Get Away

{3} Someone To Believe In

Click on the link and then scroll down to see & sample the songs from Salute !

Thanks Jesse Joe. I listened to all those samples. I still haven't heard most of his songs. The first concert I saw, he said he was going to sing all his songs that night. All 190 of them. I guess he was just saying that. Or what if he did sing them all and I just left too early?! That would be..., I don't know what that would be, I can't even ... I can't stand it. HELP!!!!
.................................................. ..........................................

No, really I know he meant it and I'm still there.

.................................................. .............................................

When I first posted the above-above comment - I thought maybe someone would know I love him.

Try this, Tom knew this was one of my favorite songs and this is one of the first vistories that he did. I love the "twist" and Nick Nolte is perfect in it.

I had been thinking about Carefree Highway quite a bit lately too, also River of Light, and Sometimes I Wish.

Tom has videos of all of those coming up soon. I think maybe River of Light is already posted - could be wrong.

Thanks Jesse Joe,
I liked all those samples from Salute. I am getting it ordered soon as well as Shadows.
I want to be able to sing along at the concert...lol

Thank You Brink,
I loved that video and I like the "twist" also...didn't quite expect that...lol.
Are you involved with making the vistories?
The ones that I have seen are so good...really great visuals to go with the music.
I admire the talented people that are putting these together...really nice work!

Home From The Forest is so beautiful. It's a song that haunts me but in a good way.

I am not involved with making the vistories, I provide a song once in a great while, but that is all Tom and his team. I love watching them. Home is a fantastic song for sure.

Hmmm....I'm thinkin' "Dreamland" about.....right now eh? Especially the part about seeing "life through the gutter".

Dreamland (Endless Wire) 2:53


You come to me in times of need
When you can't find anyone
You seem to be much better off now
There's a rainbow number one
We could see life through the gutter then
Till it caused my heart to break
There was too much toil in dreamland
And too much love to take

Sometimes I remember when
We were all dressed up in style
I don't recall the gist of it all
But you drove the young men wild
You could wrap me around your finger
Till it caused my heart to break
There was too much toil in dreamland
And too much love to take
So if you need me near you
Y' can do it if you choose
There was too much toil in dreamland
And too much love to lose

Instrumental

You make me do what you want me to do
Then you run the rules on me
You seem to be the wiser now
Could it be you've been deceived
Anytime you felt like tryin'
You would cause my heart to break
There was too much toil in dreamland
And too much love to take

So if you need me near you now
You can do it if you choose
There was too much toil in dreamland
And too much love to lose

Great videos! Luv 'em.

Todays selection from the mind of the "B" is....."Slide It On Over".

Patti "B" must have meant "Slide On Over" from the album "Cold On The Shoulder" 1975. Correct me if Im wrong Borderstone.

Yes,Jess & Patti....I meant "Slide On Over". I think one of the lines he sings in the song sounded like he said "it" before "on over".
