grace on early friday morning

Well as i said, before i went to sleep last night i went on amazon.com and ordered the Carwreck Conversation cd by Ralston Bowles, mostly for the song, "Grace"--probably just as well that I did because the cd is supposedly not being put out any more at least by the first record label--i think it was re-released later by another company but this is supposed to be some of the last first, umm, do they call it "pressings" like they used to with LP's? or i guess it's burning or printing now--anyway, it is extremely dangerous for me to order a cd or book either online or to go into a store, even Wal-Mart, because i always see or remember something else i've been looking for---so last night, it was the cd by Ralston Bowles, two cd's by Jeff Buckley- Mystery White Boy Live and So Real Songs--both released posthumously-i think---and one more cd by Nena--i think it was a greatest hits collection--i probably have all the songs already but I really like her even though all she is known for if at all in the US is her old song 99 Luftballoons-- and she has so many more good songs--she is still recording and looking better ever recent picture i see of her-yes, she is my favorite German singer-then today i ordered the Zac Brown Band cd, The Foundation--it has the great song, "Toes" with the great lines "I have my toes in the water and my ass in the sand" later on the line changes to "ass in the clay" since it takes places in GA as they say often in the song--you can debate if they are "country" or not--maybe they are more old Southern rock--but labels are, well, labels and if it's a good song, it's a good song---for example, an old country song by Johnny Cash, "Delia's Gone"--originally in 1961, then he updated it working in the early 90's with Rick Rubin--but there is also a great version done in a Johnny Cash tribute concert by Wyclef Jean---so labels don't matter that much to me, anyway, i grew up 42 miles south of Nashville, so i have been exposed to just about every kind of music. Hmm, also ordered soundtrack for Waking Ned Devine--why?-because i haven't yet and i love Irish music. So, tonight, i'll make "Toes" the song of the day-even though several others got considered. i guess i look forward mostly to the Jeff Buckley cds, somewhere i have some stuff by his father the folk singer Tim Buckley--Tim od'd and died in his late 20's, Jeff drowned while swimming in the Wolf River close to Memphis when he was thirty------and to tie it all together, Jeff also did an excellent song called "Grace"-six cd's? i think that's my quota for a while--i guess i can't go get the large bottle of Jack Daniel's Black (or the small or medium one and it would have to be Black, so much better than the Green label) no, so the headaches will have to stand on their own with no acceptable reason
take care
-will-
