Folk Music

Ride, Ride, Ride

A cowboys life is a lonely road
Your back gets bent and your legs get bowed
Riding herd from town to town
Make your bed on cold hard ground
North to the grass-covered plains we go
south where wild winter winds don't blow
Early morning untill the daylights gone
Round up strays and keep moving on

John Denver – Farewell Andromeda

Lately I've been listening to a lot of John Denver. I guess my taste in music changes from time to time, but I've always liked the late Denver, especially these days wearing a suit and time, imagining nights in the wilderness, looking up at the stars, sitting next to campfire with the cowboy hat on. Maybe eventually I'll move out west, I don't know, but do like nights in the wilderness for now. Even just my evening walk, looking at the stars -- at least the ones I can see through the light pollution of the city lights -- is a change from the stodgy days of life in city.

Tom Paxton – Getting Up Early

Lately I've been getting up early, watching the sun coming up from inside my apartment. Once it warms up with spring, I might actually start sitting out back and watching the sun rise, well until it gets up well before six AM. Great song!
