Wedding Bells

Whenever I record a song (such as this one) down in my basement and I'm playing everything, it generally means I'm bored and not spending enough time with my music-making friends. In any event, here's one that was a hit for Hank Williams about 75 years ago. Spend the work day as a divorce lawyer, spend the evening recording a song about wedding bells. Go figure. (N.B. Harmony singer Matt broke ...

I don't usually cross state lines to play a gig on a school night, but I made an exception yesterday and headed up to Vicksburg, Michigan for a lovely event put together by my dear friends Jon Barnard and Mariann Tsilis. I met Jon more than two decades ago when he was one of my National Institute for Trial Advocacy instructors, and I have now had the pleasure of teaching NITA programs with him ...

There’s plenty I dislike about social media, but it has allowed me over the years to meet some folks initially as social media “friends,” who then become honest-to-goodness, real-life friends of mine. I became social media "friends" a few years ago with ace guitarist Pat Keiner. Late this afternoon, we met for the first time as we loaded our music equipment into a west suburban gazebo. We shook...

Some heavy-duty pickin' last night from the great Brian Wilkie on this honky-tonk classic from the early 1950s, which also features Annalee Koehn on harmony vocals.

In the run-up to any of my gigs, I usually look through my records/CDs in an effort to find some new (which, in reality, means old) songs to play. I bought Lyle Lovett's first record shortly after I finished college and then kept buying them for several more years. This song is one he co-wrote with his old college buddy Robert Earl Keen, and both artists recorded it on their respective debut al...

I posted this song today in honor of my stepfather, Tom Sweeney, who passed away earlier this year. I've also posted a short piece about my (and my brothers') introduction to Tom at bluestatecowboy.blogspot.com (link below). That piece also explains why, in my opinion, Tom took to this song in his later years, when he lived in a nursing home. Thanks to my good buddy Steve Doyle for accompanying...
Early Morning Rain

Hard to believe there are only three shopping days left until the official start of Elvis Week 2023 (for those who celebrate). On that note, I woke up today to an early morning rain in Chicago, and that got me thinking. The late, great Gordon Lightfoot passed away roughly three months ago. He wrote Early Morning Rain right around the time I was born, and he recorded it when I was about two year...

This guy wrote and co-wrote a lot of hit songs over the years. He took this one Top 10 back when Nixon was in the White House. Little did I know, when I was spinning this 45 in 1973, that I'd eventually end up serving chow to his daughter in the Allison Hall cafeteria line at Northwestern University in the early 1980s.
Rogers School Commencement Address -- June 2, 2023
มุมมอง 71ปีที่แล้ว
On the morning of June 2, 2023, I headed over to Chicago's beautiful Copernicus Center to speak to the graduating class of Rogers Elementary School and to their family members. I've lived just a few blocks from Rogers for over two decades, and I served on the school's local school council for six years. My kids are 21 and 31, so I don't have the pleasure of speaking with many 14-year-old kids t...

Toxic Agent Orange and Slim Shady Vance are one trick phoneys.
She looks like the cryptkeeper
Ya Voit, Comrade Conway !!!
Orange Hitler.
Awesome.
Just a hop , skip and jump to the new American anthem. Five months of a beat , out of tune with America's centuries old path , freedom for all .
haha!!!
So true.
...Like boys can be girls and girls can be boy!! Or antifa are not fascists!
This Criminal Racketeering "Family Court" Lawyer and Democrazy Lackey, not only defrauded me with ineffective assistance of counsel; He's destroyed the classic Michael Smith Song with this Stillborn of a Cover. As a member of the American BAR, Matt's an Enemy of the People; both Foreign and Domestic.
fucking piece of shit internet trying to limit the truth with my comments. kac is garbage
Such a nice comfort giving voice. Thanks 😊
Sounds great!
Beautiful 😍
You so rarely hear this song anymore. One of my favorites, and you do a great job. Excellent vocal. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you.
Beautiful! Thank you.
Thank you.
Very well done!
Very nice rendition!!
This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
What a wonderful tribute 🎸
What a great song. Thanks for sharing.
The last line of the credits!
@ 2:20 if she is taking a selfie or looking at the one she just took... What in the world is she seeing that we aren't? "I'm so hideous, oh I love this one, it really brings out the vile, contemptible disgust for humanity in my eyes."
She was one of the worst to enable Trump. No integrity no character just an embarrassment. Truly shameful.
Love it!! Lock the conman up!!!
Treasonous intentions.
Funny! Can you do one with Biden and his 'stories'?
Stories.🎉❤ Not babble, babble , babble like child , Diaper Don
Awesome. New fan and sub. Thanks for the music.
Awesome.
excellent stuff and still relevant.
this song is awful. corny, snarky, no beat and tries way too hard. i prefer, 'try that in a small town.'
Alternative facts is a pretty term for lies. If you are a republican you are an alternative factser/ lier.
Did I send this one before. 😮
🙌
very nice performance.
History will not be kind to this Bimbo!
Pure COMEDY ... Can't wait for the Biden version or better yet Kamala😂😂😂😅😅
Excellent Singing of a long lost song 🎶 Thank You
always sharing...
thanks for akways sharing your joy....
Great singing and music on this classic song
Please teach this song in all Public Schools to learn the Truth not told and when lies become Alternative Facts by Kelly Conway and Trump supporters...
Destroy your local GOP today! Keep at it, you got my sub.
One thing that's not a alt. Fact FUGGLY 🙌🤪
Bigly fuggly !
Only one slight point I disagree with. The "mango Mussolini" line suggests that Trump is equal to Mussolini. Trump is like "Mussolini light". Not more than a cheap imitation.
Wow he's good 😊
Fantastic version. Great singing.
Thanks, Jim.
Love it, great job!
muy bueno saludos desde Argentina!!
Muchas gracias.
