Telling My Life with a Song

This is another Monday Music Moves me Blog Hop. 
It's a fun one. I'll have to warn you; I'm a mixed bag when it comes to the music. I was a child through the seventies, hit my teens through the big hair eighties, spent many a evening at a church revival where my Mama and Daddy most always would telling the gospel through a simple guitar and lyrics, and I'm most certain I'm more backwood country than you could ever stand to really know.
so...
Let me see if I can round up a song or two to tell my story.

With my Daddy being a Bible toting truck driver I'm going to start you out with one that was most likely his song. I can't share him and Mama doing this song, which is the way my ear always hears it no matter which artist is sing it.

I'm Using My Bible for a Roadmap..


Mama's simple singing and love of minor chords always made this a favorite for me.

Unseen Hand


Seven Bridges Road is my all time southern rock favorites. Makes me think about the old camaro and a dirt road.


Didn't ever girl want to be Joan Jett...I sure did...

The best concert I ever went to was down in Rockingham, North Carolina. It was about a seven band outdoor concert; my favorite of course was Metallica. One absolutely crazy night finishing out with the worst thunderstorm I had ever seen but Wow...what a scene! It was such a fantastic mix Metallica just tearing it up all while lightening crashed to the ground. I did question in my mind if God was getting ready to take us all out.
So here's my favorite Metallica song Whiskey in the Jar. I have strangely thought this would make a most driving bluegrass song.



Wow!!How many song will it take to tell my story. Looking at this list I'm starting to feel kinda old. I'm going to finish this whole thing off with what I think is the most all time rocking bluegrass song ever.
Did you really think you could get out of all this without hearing more bluegrass?
Del McCoury's Vincent Blacklighting makes me visualize my old man on his Chopper and is the only time I ever thought I'd like to be a redhead.



Okay where's this ride going to end? Well....I don't know. I guess I should have included some song from Little Mermaid or Lightening McQueen but I didn't ya'll all know I'm a Mama several times over
so let's just chill out with some Kenny Chesney and I'll love ya...Thanks for stopping by.

It's a Monday Music Moves Me Blog Hop~~Baby~

Wow! How long has it been since I've posted? I'm so glad to catch up with all my bloggy friends...I missed ya! It is a Monday Music Moves Me Blog Hop. Many times I have tried to get in on all this hoppin' and either I've been interrupted or a technical malfunction has booted my whole post off or some other ridiculousness occurs. I always like hearing what others are into and hearing something out of my usual even though I don't always follow through with a post.
but....
It's a Monday that  feels like a Friday to me. My B-day was Saturday and I worked all weekend but it was all good but I feel like I'm on a little birthday high so I'll try not to be too much of "hell yeah" girl this morning or maybe my whole redneck side will be out you just never really know with me. 
so let's get to hoppin..










Well guess I'll end this up with a little Alison Krauss.
Thanks for stoppin' by
