yesterday i had the chance to catch up and hang out with my buddy joe and his wife penny. had a great time and picked up pretty much where we left off the last time we hung out. we even had aaron along - just a great time overall and nobody wet their pants. the name zappa kept coming up. it reminded me of this bit from the monkees.

a rich tapestry of sideburns and old guy weirdness

conway twitty had a great voice and recorded some of the cheesiest country music of all-time. tight fittin' jeans? singing songs about taking a girl's virginity when you're in your 40's and sort of bloated? let's try to erase that and just enjoy the good stuff(and laugh at the wardrobe):

1. conway twitty/loretta lynn - louisiana woman/mississippi man



2. hello darlin'

i love myself some george jones and tammy wynette

george jones and tammy wynette - the jet set

i can't believe it

i am crazy about leonard cohen and this is one of my favorite songs of his. it played over the opening credit sequence in McCabe and Mrs. Miller, one of my favorite films. anyway - unbelievable how many cool people are posting artifacts on youtube.

am i reposting

not sure what happened but i tried to post this earlier and it disappeared. oh well. i'm going to post some small clips from a travel documentary my friend jonathan wingo and i made. you can really feel the rich history of texas. i'm swelling with pride. excuse the quality but i tried to make it easy for streaming - that is my motto - what?

feel it

a few commercials:

1. burger chef(1974)


2. telstar by coleco(1976)


3. mr. game show by galoob(1987)

my intention is to use this blog for sharing media finds only. i am now addicted to youtube and because i somehow think i'm fancy enough to have good taste i'll share a few favorite clips every day.


1. George Jones


2. Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton


3. Waylon Jennings
