Northy, Glenn Beck is actually pretty tame by my standards! Some have described me as being about as warm and fuzzy as Michael Savage (or a prickly pear cactus)! (lol)

PS – Note that there is only ONE Opry show scheduled tonight which is pretty unheard of for a Saturday night during the summer tourist season. It seems country music loving tourists who like to head to Nashville for their summer vacation haven’t all heard Obama proclaim the recession is over….

Well Northy, I’m with you on Ashton Shepherd and Emily West at least! (lol) You should check out the new Holly Williams’ CD “Here With Me” by viewing the music videos available for some of the songs. I think its the best major label release from a female artist so far this year (although I haven’t heard Lee Ann Womack’s most recent release).

“Northy, I want to commend you for posting a comment that in no way relates to Carrie Underwood! Good show! (lol)”

Rick,
I only post about her because I know you’re such a big fan! LOL!!

While she’s on hiatus I’ve been listening to Ashton Shepherd, Emily West & Miranda Lambert.

How about “A Whale of a Tale” sung by Kirk Douglas in 20,000 Leagues under the Sea.

Gosh, the only song even remotely about the sea and seafaring I can recall ever really liking was “Brandy” by “Looking Glass”. Well that and the original “Pirates of the Caribbean” song from the ride at Disneyland…

PS – I never had to read Moby Dick in school. I think out teacher made us read “The Great Gatsby” instead which absolutely bored me to tears although unlike Shakespeare I could understand what was going on…
