This is a poem by Tennyson that a Keltic singer adapted and here someone has dramatized it. That might even be the singer portraying the eponymous lady..
A little dramatic and fanciful but not bad.

Apropos of Nuthin’ – Music – Kenny Rogers – The Gambler (1978)
No story with this one. Just caught myself singing it so I linked it here.
Apropos of Nuthin’ – Music – Melanie – Brand New Key (1971)
Princess Sack of Potatoes is enjoying her first pair of roller skates and I guess it triggered this memory. I remember when this was a goofy fun song when I was in grammar school. Ah, those were the carefree days.
22JAN2025 – Country Song for the Morning Sugarland – Very Last Country Song
Sugarland is what I would call hippie country music. They’re doubtlessly godless communists. But they have produced some superb music. I think this is one of their best. The images and emotions it summons up are achingly beautiful. Well done you drug-addled hippies. Well done.

Now here’s a mashup of sight and sound that proves nothing about anything. But I felt like linking it here.

Springsteen is a Leftist jerk. But he’s written one or two songs that I could include here. I’ve always gotten a chuckle from this ditty.
19JUN2024 – Country Song for the Night – Cowpoke – Colter Wall
Colter Wall updates the concept of the cowboy song. Well, maybe not updates. It sounds like classic western.

10MAY2024 – Country Song for Today
It’s a little over the top but at least Dwight’s not crying in this song.
Some Christmas Music Choices
What to listen to after you’ve been stuffed with Christmas dinner? Take your pick.
Mid 20th Century American Christmas Songs
Classical instrumental Christmas
Traditional English Carols
I guess to be fair I should include the 1970s, 1990s and 2020s versions of Christmas music. But I have a weak stomach. So I’ll leave that to Ryan Seacrest and his “Dick Clarke’s Rockin’ New Years Eve” cavalcade of sewage.
