My Top 10 songs

Tuesdays are for top 10's...well, for a few weeks at least. I thought it might be fun to be able to look back at these in a year or so and see if they're still the same.

This week: Songs!

(In random order)
"Oregon Hill" - Cowboy Junkies
"Both Hands" - Ani DiFranco
"Grace Cathedral Hill" - The Decemberists
"Que Sera Sera" - Sly & The Family Stone
"Superman" - REM
"I Used to be a Sailor" - Tracy Chapman
"Legal Tender" - B-52's
"Crying" - Roy Orbison/kd lang
"They Stood up for Love" - Live
"Summertime" - Janis Joplin

For those who read my blog, please feel free to tell us your top 10 in the comments - or request a cd and I'll burn ya one.

in the glow of the laptop screen

On this perfectly chilly September evening, I'm sitting in front of the open window, letting the wind blow through me and tickle my cold toes. I wonder if I'm helping set the mood of the neighborhood, in the dark - only lit by the laptop's glow, with my glass of wine, reconnecting with The Cowboy Junkies for the passers-by to hear.

And the hours, well, I dont mind
How they creep on by like an old love of mine
Its the years that simply disappear that are doing me in
-from "A Horse in the Country", Black Eyed Man
