Love Mary Chapin Carpenter and this song! So talented! She won the Grammy Award for best female country vocal performance four years in a row, in 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995. Thanks, Harri and NannerFly.
This is such a great dance song and there was a time I could dance & twist the entire song but I not sure I could today!! Thanks for reacting to it Harri!
You are not alone, sister! Revel in those memories on the deeds and sins of yore. I truly believe that Leonardo captured the essence of those memories when he painted the Mona Lisa. Growing old does force us to recognize that, while the spirit is still willing, our bodies say no way, and our intellect recognizes our frailties. Growing old "ain't" for sissies. In the 1960's I used to wake up and listen as my cereal went Snap, Crackle, Pop. Now I make those same noises as I'm getting up. To quote Robert Heinlein, "it's amazing how much 'mature wisdom' resembles being too tired."
fine someone is doing my friend of 45 yr We were in the music scene in Prov RI early 80's where she got her start Her boy friend of the time is how I met and got to work with them
One of my favorite country artists. Although she had a number of fast-paced hits like this, I preferred her ballads which highlighted her song writing/story telling ability. (i.e. "This Shirt", and "Down in Mary's Land". The middle name is pronounced "CHAY-PEN" btw.
EVERY time I listen to this song, I also have to listen to The Tractors 'Baby Likes To Rock It', Roseanne Cash 'Tennessee Flat Top Box', Nick Lowe 'I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock & Roll)', and Jo-El Sonnier 'Tear Stained Letter." After those, the TH-cam recommendeds can usually take over lol...
No Harry she's not related to Karen Carpenter , However, ironically she's the 5th cousin to Harry Chapin , Karen's brother.richard ( Karen C. Brother of the Carpenters ) married his adopted cousin. No blood relation though . Thanks for the video brother! 🇺🇸

She’s related to Harry Chapin. And yes, that’s the great Cajun band BeauSolei, who she name drops in the song, sharing the stage with her.
A 5th cousin to be exact. Not related to the Carpenters, however.
One of my Favorites! Another good one is “I feel lucky “
I haven't heard this in years. Still love it!

Saw Mary in concert (with Vince Gill) in Miami, FL area a few years ago. Sold out venue. Awesome.

she does a duo Stagger Lee u would not believe
I think my favorite of hers is, sometimes your the windshield and sometimes your the bug
No her daddy was in the state Department She went to Brown U raised in Northern Virginia
Cajun music.
That looks like Deana Carter on your screen shot pic when scrolling.
and like Dolly it comes in a little package
She got out after she had enough and now lives as Ma and wife
She has so many great songs and all that ever seems to be featured on reaction channels is this bang average, throwaway foot stomper.
