There are songs that just get me...something about the melody or the beat...Some are irrefutably great songs, and some may slide into the "guilty pleasure" category, but they get my head a-swayin, my feet a-tappin' or my hips a-swingin' every time I hear them...
Consider this the antithesis to my Songs That Make Ya Wanna...Slit Your Wrists category. These songs touch my soul! I will start the list now, but it is just the first of many...
Green Onions - Booker T. and the MGs
Tequila - The Champs
Lowdown - Boz Skaggs
Shout - The Isley Brothers
Rock and Roll Music - Chuck Berry
Complicated - Poi Dog Pondering
Pick Up the Pieces - The Average White Band
September - Earth Wind and Fire
Time is Tight - Booker T and the MGs
I'll Take You There - The Staple Singers
Walk Don't Run - The Ventures
Sleep Walk - Santo and Johnny
Wipeout - The Surfaris
You know, everyone should experience these gems, so every once in a while I will offer a selection so we can all enjoy these stirring songs. Click the arrow below to hear Santo and Johnny perform Sleep Walk and let it help you feel that Life is Good!

I love to write thoughtful, carefully crafted stories about my life, memories and aspirations... “narrative non-fiction” is what that sort of writing is called.
One of those aspirations was to have a reason to write those stories, and a place for others to read them.
That is the primary reason this blog exists. It is my place to make available the stories that live within me. It is my intention for this blog to be a reflection of myself and my interests.
I write strictly for my own pleasure (and hopefully your reading enjoyment). I do not get paid to write anything that appears on this site!
