If the weather's even close to good I will promise you all, I will be absent from the bloggy world and the good Lord blessed me with a pretty great weekend.
I so have some Spring fever. I had promises myself back in January I was going to buy fishing license this year and fish. I have really done any fishing since I was a kid ..but I like it and I know Jack loves it. The old man(husband) use to be on a fishing craze but work has been a little demanding so the Jack cannot suffer anymore. Spending time with my boy and out on a creek bank or lakeside is truly two of my favorite things to do. So I'm excited and ready to do the thang.
I'm not the one to watch every fishing show but I believe I probably have watched them all and I will tell you I think some folks lose all the fun for making it so complicated. The only fishing show I care to watch is Bill Dance and Carolina Outdoor Journal. I also had to pick up a pole. I probably could have just found me one in building but I wanted my own. The questions I had was," What kind of reel? ....What kind of rod?" I almost went with the classic Zebco 33" but I really wanted the Ugly Stik Spin Cast Combo.
I'm excited!
I'm ready!
What you are thinking...
Where's the dang music?
So let's start with my all time summers on the way make me feel good song....Fishing in the dark by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
I'm country music lover but I really love Beach Music. If you didn't grow up in the Carolina's you might not understand the craze. Carolina beaches, shagging, and just plain relax, Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" has always been a favorite. I always wanted to be brown eyed because of this song but I have been blessed with my own brown eyed girl.
I'm one of those folks who pretends to shagg but check out the real deal.
Jack and I are suppose to start training today for the 5K event the elementary school is sponsoring. We were both quite pumped up about it but they have cancelled practice due to weather so here's Emmylou to get us in the running mood.
I'll end this ride with one more Emmylou song one for all those who grew up with red dirt between your toes. Thanks to all of you who stopped by. I wish you a most blessed day.
What a great bunch of songs! My fave was Brown Eyed Girl since I have brown eyes!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteAs of April 14th I will have lived in the Carolinas for 11 years. Both in Charlotte, NC and Fort Mill, SC. I TOTALLY understand what you're saying!
ReplyDeleteThere's something about Carolina girls...so glad you dropped by.
DeleteLovely song choices Lynn - Happy Music Monday to you
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS on being in our spotlight!!! YOU GO GIRL! Great choices. Love that one of the dance couple! WOW they sure can dance, right? I sent it to the boys in the band because they play that song too. Sure wish they would come, and dance when they have a gig. LOL Boy, Emmy Lou Harris sure did change didn't she. Very cool choices girlfriend! Have a great day, and oh I see you have my old button there. That one goes to my old link. You need to copy the new one and cast this one. Thanks. The email is different now too! THANKS.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie. I thought I replace that button...OMGI'll get over there and get the new one.
DeleteCongrats on being featured!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go fishing again too.
Have fun with your boy!
Very nice tunes!
Love the songs. I love Emmylou! Man, that may be the best shagging I have ever seen. They are impressive.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with Jack fishing and running.
Oh that shagging. I need to work on brainwashing technics. I'm going to start practicing~~Kelly you really want to shag~~Kelly shagging would make you the hottest man alive.~~
DeleteWow talk about taking me back in time. Love Brown Eyed Girl! Great song choices. I wish I could go fishing but my back won't put up with my husband's boat.
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I'm your newest follower - via Feedly reader. I hear that GFC is going away, so Feedly it is. Hope you'll follow back. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following.
DeleteGreat one from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThis song gets me in a good mood no matter what kind of day I'm having. I love the Dirt Band too. Do you like their new stuff? It's on the bluegrass side of life.
DeleteI grew up in Florida so I completely understand the need for the beach and good beach music. Love Van Morrison and Brown-Eyed Girl!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your 5K. I hope a new day is scheduled for it. Emmylou Harris is a great tune to get you moving!
We are back on track with the 5K and it's a so much fun. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteLove that you included the real Brown-Eyed Girl! You have no idea what this song meant to me when I first heard it. I was feeling very ugly and very plain. To think that someone would make a song about a girl with brown eyes instead of blue knocked my socks off! So happy that it's going to be in my head today... blessings to you! jules from bles-id.blogspot
ReplyDeleteYou're surely a beauty. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThis week, I'm doing a double dance with all of my 4M buds due to last week's siesta with DH. More about that in an upcoming post! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being in the spotlight last week! Brown Eyed Girl is such a classic and I always think of the movie "Sleeping with the Enemy" when I hear it. That couple can really shagg. I just loved watching their feet move - so cool! Honestly, I didn't know there was a dance style called the shagg until now. lol I know, where have I been, right? I think in a lonely, dark cave out of touch with the world is where I think I've been. So much to learn! I hope you get to go fishing soon. It's suppose to be spring, but it feels like winter still here in the Tennessee Valley. Next week's forecast looks more promising, though.
It was great, great fun to dance with you and thanks for being such a loyal Monday's Music Moves Me party-goer!
I really enjoy hearing all the different types of music and how people roll with the theme is fun too. I suppose alot of people have never heard of shag dancing it's an east coast kind of thing.
