December Diary 2011 – 1/31
I’m so happy to be a part of this year’s December Diary Project, a tradition of my very sweet flickr friend Cindy/Reflective Kiwi. This year’s theme is music, something so very near and dear to my heart! 
With my scattered brain and eclectic tastes, I know I’ll jump all over the place this month…from sharing some of my current favorite tunes/bands to more obscure songs from around the globe to beloved ones that have been special to me all/most my life, with a few memories mixed in here and there for good measure. So let’s get started!
Though I rarely listen to country music anymore, Willie Nelson’s Blue Skies is the first song I ever recalled as being a favorite, and I remember singing and humming to it as a wee little one. My dad has always been a fan of old country, and there was rarely a time when Roy Rogers, Jim Reeves, Willie, Hank Williams (Sr), or Ray Charles wasn’t being played in the evenings.

“La Grange” is the hit song from ZZ Top’s 1973 album “Tres Hombres”. The song charted highest at number 41. Notice that the lyrics, at first do not seem harsh or brash in any way, but if you listen closely and start putting it all together, you realize that they are really describing a little whorehouse. In 1973, most songs, especially a Top 10 hit, did not contain much dirty language if any at all for that matter. Only a group like ZZ Top could get away with something like this and have the blurred message slip through the radio airwaves. The blues influence in this song is also undeniable. The “Haw haw haw’s” are a tribute to the great blues master John Lee Hooker. Another aspect in this song that makes it amazing is the guitar riff- it’s just one of the best of all-time. In Rolling Stone magazine’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All-Time” issue, they talk about how Billy Gibbons’ first band opened for Jimi Hendrix in the late 60′s. Jimi was very impressed with Billy’s guitar playing. There is a reason why Jimi Hendrix once said that Billy Gibbons was going to be the next big guitarist. He was right. This song proves that. Lyrics: Rumour spreadin’ a-’round In that Texas town ‘Bout that shack outside La Grange And you know what I’m talkin’ about Just let me know If you wanna go To that home out on the range They gotta lotta nice girls ah Have mercy! A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw A haw, haw, haw Well, I hear it’s fine if you got the time And the Ten to get yourself in A hmm …

( www.youtube.com ) Long version of Texas Flood by stevie ray vaughn ! Texas Flood is an electric blues album by blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band Double Trouble, released in 1983. Although “Texas Flood” has three verses of lyrics, the song is more of a prolonged guitar solo, allowing Vaughan to show off his characteristic electric blues style. During live shows, he would often play portions of this song behind his back, arousing an enthusiastic crowd response. Stylistically, “Texas Flood” is structured around the common three chord blues progression. Written and performed in the key of G (sounding F# because of Vaughan’s tuning), it is in 12/8 time, or compound time[1], which gives it a “slow burning” feel that is common in Texas blues. en.wikipedia.org
