Music

Anybody who has known me for more than a few seconds knows that I love music. I've found over the years that music holds the power to convey thoughts, images, and feelings that you can't quite convey any other way. Ultimately, music has the power to heal hearts when nothing else can.

I've started listening to Keith Urban a little more lately, after I saw his "You Look Good in My Shirt" video and found out that he was a great guitar player. I've liked his stuff before, in fact, I used to sing "Making Memories of Us" at karaoke occassionally. After looking into his music and videos a little more, I ran across this video that is just incredibly powerful. I had heard the song before and hadn't paid it much attention but the video brought it home for me. The song was written by Darrell Brown, Dennis Matkosky, and Ty Lacy. These guys must have had some serious heartache to deal with. I guess, for some, that's how things are. Anyway, take a look at this incredible video:



I think I might continue this series on music with some bluegrass that I've been playing lately. I may even be able to get some video of Charlie singing with us. That's right...he loves bluegrass and sings with our group once in a while. So stay tuned.

Hey, Jeff. Nice to see you posting. Have you seen Jimmy Wayne's video for "I Love You This Much?". If not, check it out.

I just went and watched it again, and I can't watch it without getting goosebumps. I think it's one of my all-time favorite videos. Read Jimmy Wayne's bio too. It's interesting.

Tho I've heard the song and found it haunting I had not seen the video, pretty cool.

Hey Buddy! Good post. You know how much I love your music. And for all of us to sit around and sing songs as you play, ah those are some of my best memories.
