Photo A Day Challenge

Two posts in one day? Simply unheard of.

It's May Day, and while other people choose to riot, I choose "Peace"!

My sister, Catherine, over at "Hello, New Day", has been participating in a Photo a Day challenge by Fat Mum Slim. Basically, there is a prompt for the day, you take a picture that relates to the prompt, and post it. I have enjoyed looking at Catherine's photos, and decided to play along this month.

Today's prompt is "peace", and here's my photo:

01 May Photo a Day: Peace.

I may not post every day. Let me rephrase: I will not be posting everyday. There. I said it. But I will post!

Cheers!

10 Things

10 Things on the 10th of March.

A list of any ten things I'd like to mention on my blog! And I get to link it up at Shimmel's blog. 

I thought I'd list my TEN favorite songs by one of my favorite bands, Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers. As I start thinking about this, I know I'm going to miss a great song by only listing ten! To make it easier, I will not include any Refreshments' songs. (I know, I know. How can you exclude Banditos, Mexico and Down Together from this list? Sigh.)  Here we go, with a few lyrics in italics:


1. Switchblade (Yeah dumb and drunk as I was you know I'd do it all again...)
2. Mexican Moonshine (I fell under the spell when I stumbled over the line...)
3. Love is the Road (This you already know...)
4. Better Beautiful Than Perfect (Life is grand, love is real, beauty is everywhere...)
5. Play On (Let's leave the judges standing slack-jawed on the lawn, play on...)
6. Wake Up Call (So special ops issued us flip flops, a guitar and a week or two...)
7. Contraband (That's how I make a lot of easy money, baby - the hard way...)
8. Tell Yer Momma (It's been hard to teach an old dog new tricks...)
9. Counterclockwise (The breeze is blowin' me a new perfume, giving my heart a little elbow room...)
10. All Over The Radio (Flyin' down the freeways, high above the airwaves, to rock and roll we'll always be true...)

All songs are from these albums:

No More Beautiful World

Unida Cantina

Honky Tonk Union

Sonoran Hope & Madness

Americano!

Roger. Gotta love him. Check 'em out - fantastic songs with fantastic lyrics!

RCPM

Went to a fabulous concert last night at the Paladium Club here in SLC. Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, a band out of Arizona and one of my absolute favorites. Who? Yeah, they have a relatively small fan base. Maybe you know the theme song to"King of the Hill"? That's basically the same band, formerly known as The Refreshments. As usual, Roger and the boys put on a great show with the typical high-energy that makes them so fun to see. I enjoyed the time with my sister, brother and cousins - thanks to Cathy, for driving; thanks (I think) to Kathleen, for the drinks!
