UP ON CRIPPLE CREEK The Band The Band (1970) When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go? Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half And she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see That's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk" Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet And I swore and I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold And this living on the road is getting pretty old So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted To go and see my Bessie again. Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

La Zingara - Paris Cafe Music

Muddy Waters

Mannish Boy

I'm a big Blues fan ... old school through to contemporary. I've had the privilege of seeing many of the fifties and sixties era Chicago blues greats perform locally, mostly at the now defunct Last Call Saloon in Providence, and still alive Chan's in Woonsocket. But I never saw Muddy perform. Pity.

"I can make love to you Honey, in five minutes time." 

What a man

Koko Taylor

Wang Dang Doodle

I was fortunate to have seen her perform live at The Last Call Saloon in Providence, RI back in the early nineties.

So this evening we were a our local pub having a few pops. A stranger asked our friend Kim the bartender "what's your name." So in response, I said quietly to Annie "who's your Daddy ... is he rich, is he rich like me?" So then somebody next to us (who we know as bar friends) only heard the last part of my private conversation with Annie, misinterpreted it, and gave me an odd look. So I had to explain. Anyway, this is one of my all-time favorite songs:

Time of the Seasons - Zombies

Pass The Courvoisier Part II - Busta feat. Diddy and Pharell.

Fluff

Bill Goudy checkin' in

One of my favorite Youtube people. He's honest, sincere, and a great down-to-earth personality. He covers a topic I enjoy: campfire cooking.

Texas Flood Jam - SRV and Albert King

SRV Live - Texas Flood

Dan Fogelberg - Leader of the Band

Our local pub streams Sirius XM. I'm not sure what channel this was tonight, maybe The Bridge. But I really like the late great Dan Fogelberg, and this song in particular. It was playing while we were there tonight. Odd that this song was in my head today, and then it popped up on the soundtrack at Bill's.

Another Dan Fogelberg

Back in the seventies I thought these lyrics were deeply philosophical. Today, they're not nearly as deep as I thought then ... maybe just more nostalgic. 

Completely and totally NOT SAFE FOR WORK!!!

It's good background noise but nothing that a crowd would request to hear at a concert.  One thumb up.
