To Friends!!

... gotta' love you for loving me as much as you do!!

In a few posts I'll be describing some of the events of the past couple of years. What a past couple of years it has been, to say the least! Anywho ... You know when you've found someone very special when they are not only there for the goodies but for the baddies as well. I have been fortunate to have found several such people. I just wanted to take the time to thank you again for being the most wonderful people I know. You've known when something is wrong without me saying anything ... thank you for telling me that you miss me being happy. We may not be granted many guarantees in life but I can tell you that I will be back in the business of being happy once I get through my recent hurdles.

God bless all of you for being you!

Here's Jonny!

Sometimes a lie gives us hope - however small/grand. Anyway ...

This song was performed by Jonny Lang at Mississippi State University's Riley Center on June 5th. (He is one of my favorite performers and there was no bad seat at the Riley. It was a long, long drive from my home but well worth the trip!) It would be one of the best birthday gifts I would receive for the month. Thanks, Chivas! (Orale, chacho!!!) Someone behind me kept yelling for him to perform "Little School Girl". I wanted to chunk something at them! It would seem kinda' off for a grown man to sing lyrics like, Good mornin' little school girl ... can I go home with you ... tell your mama and your daddy ... that I'm a little school boy too. Ewe! Thankfully, he has grown exponentially since those times. Anyway, below are the lyrics to "Lie to Me". Enjoy!

Lyrics

Lie to me and tell me everything is all right
Lie to me and tell me that you'll stay here tonight
Tell me that you'll never leave
Oh, and I'll just try to make believe
That everything, everything your telling me is true
Come on baby won't you just

Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me

Lie to me, it doesn't matter anymore
It could never be, the way it was before
If I can't hold on to you
Leave me somethin' I can hold onto
For just a little while won't you, won't you let me be

Oh, anyone can see
That you love him more than me
But right now baby let me pretend
That our love will never end

Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me ...

Here's another one of my new favorites ... "Give Me Up Again".
