Born in Biloxi, MS on Oct 2, 1948, the son of an Air Force pilot, Chris traveled all over the country and overseas. He developed an early passion for the West, horses and rodeo. He found early success as a bareback rider and discovered songwriting which allowed him the ability to tell stories about the rodeo lifestyle he loved. He recorded his first album of rodeo songs in 1971 and created an independent record label, American Cowboy Songs. At the 1976 National Finals Rodeo, Chris won the World Bareback Title and took home the coveted gold buckle. He recorded his 22nd independent album in 1989 and shortly after signed a major record deal with Capitol and exploded into the national spotlight. He released another 18 albums in his time at Capitol Records and sold over 6 million around the world. Beyond all of his accomplishments and success, his most endearing quote will always be “What I want to be known for, on top of everything else, is that I was a good husband and a family man.” Lyrics: Well, I was sittin' in a coffee shop, just havin' a cup to pass the time Swappin' Rodeo stories, with this ol' cowboy friend of mine When some motorcycle riders started snickerin' in the back They started pokin' fun at my friend's hat And one ol' boy said, "Hey, Tex, where'd you park your horse?" My friend just pulled his hat down low, but they couldn't be ignored One husky fella said, "I think I'll just rip that hat right off your head" That's when my friend turned around, and this is what he said "You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky You'll rope an ol' blue northern, and milk it 'til it's dry Bulldog the Mississippi and pin its ears down flat Long before you take this cowboy's hat" He said, "Partner, now this ol' hat it's better left alone You see, it used to be my daddy's, but last year he passed on My nephew skinned the rattler that makes up this ol' hat band But back in '69, he died in Vietnam" "Now the eagle feather was given to me by an Indian friend of mine But someone ran him down somewhere around that Arizona line And a real special lady gave me this hatpin But I don't know if I'll ever see her again" "You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky You'll rope an ol' blue northern, and milk it 'til it's dry Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat Long before you take this cowboy's hat" "Now if your leather jacket means to you what this ol' hat means to me Then I guess we understand each other, and we'll just let it be But if you still think it's funny, my back's against the wall But if you touch my hat, you gotta fight us all" Right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leader's eyes He turned back to the others, and they all just shuffled on outside But when my friend turned back towards me, I noticed his ol' hat brim Well, it was turned up, in a big ol' Texas grin You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky You'll rope an ol' blue northern, and milk it 'til it's dry Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat Long before you take this cowboy's hat You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky You'll rope an ol' blue northern, and milk it 'til it's dry Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat Long before you take this cowboy's hat You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky You'll rope an ol' blue northern, and milk it 'til it's dry Songwriter: Jake Brooks.

On Silent Wings Tina Turner There was a time when I would have followed you To the end of the earth I was willing to share it all with you The love, the hurt I've seen you when your dreams were falling in the dust But I never stopped believing in you I always thought our love was strong enough One you could hold on to You never see it coming You just let it fly On silent wings, silent wings You can't hide what you feel inside And the fire has left your eyes On silent wings I see us in our dreams and we're dancing I can almost hear the song But the prayers, they go unanswered But we both know, we're just hanging on I feel ashamed, but I'll never know the reason why The rug was pulled so gently from under my feet I only know that something good has died Between you and me, oh it's just a memory You never see it coming You just go separate ways On silent wings, silent wings There's no more promises to break Or our love has slipped away On silent wings You never see it coming But you know it has to end On silent wings, silent wings I will never be the same again I feel the whisper of the wind On silent wings Songwriters: Tony Joe White, James E Ralston. #tinaturner

"We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" Out of the ruins Out from the wreckage Can't make the same mistake this time We are the children The last generation We are the ones they left behind And I wonder when we are ever gonna change Living under the fear 'til nothing else remains We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond The Thunderdome Looking for something We can rely on There's gotta be something better out there Love and compassion Their day is coming All else are castles built in the air And I wonder when we are ever gonna change Living under the fear 'til nothing else remains All the children say We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond The Thunderdome So what do we do with our lives We leave only a mark Will our story shine like a light Or end in the dark Give it all or nothing We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond The Thunderdome #tinaturner

Close your eyes, if you wish. Some emotions are about to visit you.

You might have noticed that people who claim to distrust the government, don't really mean what they say. They want a different kind of government that accommodates their insecurities, and their desire for control. There's much else George Carlin says here in an interview with Charlie Rose, in 1996. Listen to his view; cynical as it is. And, of course, you are free to think differently.

No tribute could really be enough that could match the music this man left with this world. So, here are his own songs to testify, to pay him tribute. #RIPGordonLightfoot #gordonlightfoot

I love the music of Don Williams. When I think of my favorite songs by him, this one always comes to mind.
