5/5

"My little boy came into the kitchen this evening
While I was fixing supper
And he handed me a piece of paper he'd been writing on
And after wiping my hands on my apron
I read it - and this is what it said"

Dottie West was very popular singer in her day mid-60's until the 80's. She was most famous for the song "Country Sunshine" which was originally the Coca-Cola theme sung by West then transformed into a single which was also sung by West.

5/5

"You say you love me and its inviting, to go where life is more exciting
But I was raised on country sunshine
I was raised on country sunshine, green grass beneath my feet
Running through the fields of daisies, wading through the creek
You love me and its inviting, to go where life is more exciting
But I was raised on country sunshine"

th

Jim Reeves and Dottie West tore up the old honky tonk standard cheating song “Love Is No Excuse”.

When my boys were little I used to torture them by playing George and Melba in my pickup until eventually they learned to like it.

Melba has the most hillbilly accent in all country music.

She sings like I do.


Melba also did the best female version of Another Bridge to Burn.

@keith929 Lots of fine jazz. I know you're in NJ - are you at all familiar with the Montclair Jazz Festival? Annual weekend event that draws some big names. Jazz Music Festival | Montclair Jazz Festival | Montclair, NJ - https://www.montclairjazzfestival.org/

Yesterday was industrial/all day. Had some stuff to work through apparently.

Slowing it down today. In a blues mood which for me means Luther Allison and Junior Kimbrough.


The Montclair Jazz Festival is one of the best in New Jersey!
