That's the sense I get, anyway. Don't get me wrong; I liked the Jonny Young Four version. It's just... Wow.

Great trip, but nice to be back home.<br /><br />I'd love to have visited the Iowa State Fair. It's been years since I've been to any state fair and always loved them when I did visit.

Like ships that pass in the night. Which is worth two in the bush, and more than a penny earned.<br /><br />Yup, we'll go to the Iowa State Fair. We always go if we are in Iowa at the correct time. It is a fun fair, and kind of a nostalgic activity. Hopefully all those liars, er, candidates, will have stopped stumping by the time we go there so we eat our giant pork chops, strawberry shortcake, and fried pickles in peace!Sixnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-41898493516002145962015-08-17T06:36:55.534-07:002015-08-17T06:36:55.534-07:00Shannon, we're now how and thankfully safe.

I'm not only a writer, but I'm also a musician so that's what I tend to hear first. In some cases the words reach out and grab me like in songs by Dylan or Cockburn, but most of the time it's the music that influences me most. I'm sure the words often have some kind of influence on my mind and often it's just a line, a chorus, or the start of the song. There are so many songs that I'll start singing along to at first and then soon realize I don't know all the words.<br /><br /><i>I'm interested in every element of songs, from the lyrics, to the melody, to the harmonizing, and the instrumentation.</i><br /><br />I do too, but there's also a memory and focus factor for me. If I zero in on the lyrics then that's where I might stay. For the most part I just dwell in the complete experience of a song and note favorite aspects. Writer than I am, more often than not a piece of music will set my mind a-wandering as I start thinking up my own thoughts and stories as inspired by that music.<br /><br />This would be an interesting study. I wonder if anyone has delved into it to any great extent?<br /><br />A vote for <b>Jonny Young Four</b>.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-39468787238081359952015-08-17T00:48:13.227-07:002015-08-17T00:48:13.227-07:00I like the McGuinness Flint one best.

"Since I usually don't pay much attention to lyrics I didn't take much notice..."</i></b><br /><br />LEE, you have said similar things several times in comments and it still mystifies me. You are a writer-wannabe, right? How could song lyrics not interest you? That's a form of writing.<br /><br />But you're not the only one: My friend DiscConnected has also said that he pays little attention to song lyrics, and yet I have in my possession 6 booklets (most of them 53 pages long) that he self-published of song lyrics he hoped others might want to record someday.<br /><br />As I said, I'm mystified by you AND Doctor DiscDude.<br /><br />I'm interested in every element of songs, from the lyrics, to the melody, to the harmonizing, and the instrumentation. Some songs focus more on one element than another, but I find that I contemplate all of the factors that constitute a musical recording.<br /><br />Anyway, I like plenty of Country songs, but this one doesn't do much for me. The sound quality is considerably better in the <b>Jonny Young Four</b> cover, so I guess I'll vote for them based on that. It's not a song that I dislike, but it doesn't appeal to me in any particular way.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
