Friday, I travelled to Wilmington, NC to see Donavon Frankenreiter. He put on a wonderful performance and I was so glad I FINALLY got to see him. It completed my list of seeing all ten of my favorite bands. Which leads to this post…this topic has come out several times this week so I thought, I’d write a post about it. My favorite 10 bands … Continue reading My Favorite Artists
April was a short list but a good list. “Baby Ain’t My Name” by Grace Askew Grace has a haunting voice, constantly sad and longing, but a beautiful voice. I really love the way her voice sounds in this song and I really just love the title.

I’m a Buffett fan. I wear the name Parrothead proudly. Buffett has always inspired me, told me stories through songs, etc. “12 Volt Man” is one of my favorite songs. I have always felt this song describes who I am to tee. “Sometimes I may be a little drastic, Sometimes I just let my feelings show, Sometimes I may be a bit sarcastic, most times … Continue reading 12 Volt Man
“Far Side of the World” by Jimmy Buffett played on my iPod and I realized, it captured the essence of why I love to travel and why I started this website and blog. I love to travel: drive, fly, cruise, walk…whatever. If I can travel, I am happy. I will travel for work, for fun, for personal reasons, and just because. There is nothing better … Continue reading Far Side of the World
This song popped up on Pandora while I was listening to the Jimmy Buffett Channel and it completely changed my mood from crummy to good. This is one of my favorite Buffett covers and one of my favorite songs. I even have the southern cross tattooed on my arm…an ode to my love of astronomy and the spirit of the sky. It’s a permanent reminder … Continue reading 01.09.12 – Song of the Day: “Southern Cross”

In a few short hours, I’ll be on plane heading to the far side of the world. I’m still worried I don’t have enough money, but as Jimmy Buffett sings…“breathe in, breathe out, move on…according to my watch the time is now…” All I have is now. Not the what ifs of tomorrow or the mistakes of the past. The time is now. That is … Continue reading The Time is Now
Train Wreck by Glen Phillips This song title summed up how I felt after Halloween weekend. A train wreck. Partied a little too hard on that weekend and it hurt me for days. Edge of the Moon by Xavier Rudd A little Xavier always makes me smile. Coma Therapy by Strata I really wish this band was still together. They were so good and amazing … Continue reading Songs of My Life – November 2011
Stuck in a Rut by Burn Halo This song is a carry over from August. I am still loving the lyrics “I know that I’m going to be okay. I know there’s still hope.” Leave the Light On by Beth Hart I have been a Beth fan ever since I heard “L.A. Song.” She’s got a voice that is full of raw emotion and I … Continue reading Songs of My Life – September 2011
Back To The Island by Jimmy Buffett August gave me Key West. This song was my theme song from the 1st until the 9th. It describes every moment I feel when I’m in Key West and how I always feel the pull to Key West. I Have Found Me A Home by Jimmy Buffett The 1st time I landed in Key West, I knew and … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2011
