My Life On The River


 Loves Me Like A Rock
 

This is cute.....Mother animals have a big job to do also. Can you imagine being a mother coon with 5 or 6 babies to keep track of?

Heres a Mother Coon trying to get one of her babies back over the fence with the rest of the family.

Song is by Paul Simon.

 Some Nature pictures from here on the river.....And a song that I like.
 

This is me, this is who I am!
I have muddy water running threw my veins....LOL





Little Big Town, singing " Boondocks"



Boondocks lyrics

I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks

One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul
In the boondocks

I can feel that
Muddy water runnin' through my veins
I can hear that
lullaby of the midnight train
And it sings to me and sounds familiar

I can taste that honeysuckle
And it's still so sweet
When it grows wild
On the banks down at old Camp Creek
And it calls to me like a warm wind blowin'

It's where I learned about livin'
Its where I learned about love
Its where I learned about working hard,
And having a little was just enough
It's where I learned about Jesus
And knowin' where I stand
You can take it or leave it
This is me
This is who I am
Give me a tin roof, a front porch, and a gravel road
And thats home to me, feels like home to me

You get a line I'll get a pole
We'll go fishin' in the crawfish hole
Five card poker on Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning

Sunset here at the River on Monday.



I was doing some work near the shed where we keep the lawn mower, and I found this Tree Frog that had decided it was a good place to hang out for the day.


This is a baby Tree Frog...No bigger than a penny. He is hanging onto a blade of grass.



I took many pictures of this Dragonfly....Thought he was pretty, and made a good subject.




This Pelican had just caught a fish, and decided to fly away with it hanging out of his mouth. Look close, and you can see the tail of the fish sticking out.




Just a bug that I thought was cool.

 Total Eclipse Of The Heart
 

We are having some bad storms in my area so I may loose power. Just across the Mississippi river.... they had 95 mile an hour winds in the Ouad Cities..... Lighting was bad. I heard some trees were burning from lighting strikes.
115,000 people out of power.
I don't know if its going to be that bad in my area....Mainly rain, and lighting so far. Its likely that I will not be around for awhile.

I love this song, and video....

" Total Eclipse Of The Heart "

 The Vaughan Brothers & The Fabulous Thunderbirds
 

Hope everyone has a great Saturday. I am canning beans today.
And then going to a friends camp ground to relax for awhile, so will see you around later.

Heres some history on the Vaughan Brothers, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

James Lawrence "Jimmie Lee" Vaughan (born on March 20, 1951 in Dallas, Texas) is an American blues guitarist and singer. He is the older brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Jimmie Vaughan's style was influenced by Freddie King who gave him personal advice. Also two other blues guitarists, Albert King and B. B. King, were important influences. Johnny "Guitar" Watson was another important early influence (Jimmie says that he and his younger brother Stevie Ray Vaughan studied Johnny "Guitar" Watson more than any other single guitarist).

This first song by the Vaughan Brothers, Stevie & Jimmy..... is for all of the Texas women out there.

The Vaughan Brothers....Stevie & Jimmy Vaughan

"Good Texan"


Jimmie Vaughan developed his own personal style that is easily recognized. He formed the band The Fabulous Thunderbirds with singer and harpist Kim Wilson, bassist Keith Fergusson, and drummer Mike Buck. (The initial Fabulous Thunderbirds members were all proteges of Austin, Texas blues club owner, Clifford Antone). The band's first four albums, released between 1979 and 1983, are ranked among the most important 'white blues' recordings. These early albums did not sell well, so the band was left out without a recording contract for a couple of years (during the times when Jimmie's younger brother achieved popular success).

The Fabulous Thunderbirds got a new contract in 1986 and made several albums that featured more commercial pop-music sound and production styles. Jimmie left the band in 1989 and made a "duo album" called Family Style with his younger brother, Stevie Ray Vaughan. Before the album was released, Stevie died in a helicopter crash in East Troy, Wisconsin on August 27, 1990. The album was released a few days after the tragic accident (the listed artist on the album was "Vaughan Brothers"). The album was light blues-influenced rock with Jimmie singing on several tracks.

"Tuff Enuff"



I like this one a lot with Jimmy Vaughan ...You can see where Stevie Ray got a lot of his style for playing the guitar from his older brother Jimmy.
This was the most successful song for the group.
