Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine is almost over. The cleanup is to begin...needing that motivation!

Char! Congratulations! You took what I'd call an actual "DARE" and aced it solid! That is one of the things I so admire in you. You sang a Dusty Springfield song you never heard after click the random button! I'm so proud. WTG GIRL

Char I was wondering if you knew the band that originally performed you song. One tune by Dusty Springfield you might know is "Son Of A Preacher Man". I'd love to hear you sing it...only if you want to. If you do I will. I have never been able to do it right...I think you can. So, if you do, I will...try! LOL I'll post the outcome no matter what it sounds like.

Char is a daring member of the HWY. She took the "Random Button Challenge" that HarrietC introduced. Take time to listen!

Hi Les Char Deb Mona Harriet /// :O .... Hi Everyone !

Hope all is well with you and everyone is feelin' Great. I've had a very entertaining and enlightening past week (I need a vacation now!?) LOL // as I'm sitting here , thinkin' of what to type ... with a left over piece of turkey leg in my left hand ..... OMG my puppy Kinley gained 4 pounds since last Sunday $#%&! She's a chainsaw turbo eating chewing machine with 4 Hugh feet and real clumsy legs :)

MT. McKinley? = I think Michigan is gonna get eaten , ate up , chewed ? lol She's way too cute!

Just wanted to drop in before I get some well needed sleep and say G.B. to everyone and leave a song that I recorded over a Don Henley song "True Love" --- the name of this song is

Learn To Be Still
by: Don Henley

http://www.singsnap.com/snap/watchandlisten/play/b1ae6a76

I was trying to sing it without the music and played it softly in the background /// Love most of the Eagles and also Don Henley's work over the years ....

Char my friend...you really did it. You did it really..you ... oh you! You aced it and now I have to show how not to sing it...LOL

I promised and I will do it. My problem was those words...I'd never really listened to...those between the chorus. The melody changes..and I too often sing from memory. I will follow your lead and listen to the music. LOL It surely does help! Great piece of work!

Hey, Char took on another challenge. She sang a second song by Dusty Springfield. She only remembered parts of it...but, by listening to the actual music, she gave a fine delivery!

Hi there Rick! I sure have enjoyed reading updates from your holiday adventure.

Wow, how big will Kinley actually get. I imagine, being from Northern Alaska, (burrrrrrrrrrrrr) she will have a heavy coat of fur. Four lbs. in four days .... OMG is right. Keeping her nutritionally satisfied will be important to Kinley and your possessions LOL!

I am excited for you. I seriously love K-9s. It is probably a very good thing you got a female. They are so much easier to train, and tend not to go through that "I wanna be the boss stage". The only breed I know of that is an exception...would be the Poodle. Poodle females fight for that position. LOL...got off track didn't I?

I'm off to listen to "Learn To Be Still". The technique you described using...I'm intrigued. I'll be right back to give feedback.

I'm so glad you dropped off a song!

Hugs, Deja

Rick! That was a masterpiece. It was absolutely beyond gorgeous and was totally yours. I don't care who wrote it or who sang it before, you just claimed this .... OMG I'm tongue tied!

I was overwhelmed listening and left a stuttering (I hope it made sense)comment on your page.

It's hard to explain how you really interpret or react or think about a work of art that powerful. Your technique simply let the theme..the meaning of the lyrics (to me they spoke of really hearing...really comprehending feelings that are so sweet and gentle...they can be drowned out by everyday and everywhere noise and distraction. That is just my interpretation, of course). The soft background music..your gorgeous..I mean seriously gentle, lovely delivery...was a dynamic enhancement to the theme. It was unique, poetic, moving, and memorable.

Technical delivery was absolutely yours...I only know it worked...it was too good to listen for that sort of thing.

I'm not palavering...I'm trying to express my reaction. LOL...it ain't easy. But, it is absolutely sincere. Now if it does not make sense...it's late and I'm light headed..lol, let me know...and I'll rephrase this feedback..OK?

I hope everyone will take time to listen to Rick's rendition:

I gotta say it again, "Char you are amazing and really do inspire me.

I doubt very seriously I will come close to matching your performance of "Son of a Preacher Man". But, I promised, and I'm going to start my effort tomorrow. It might take a day or two...lol, but I will do it!

Goodnight & Big Hugs to all!

I really am very glad you all were here tonight. Thank You. Love, Leslie

Rick, your comment above is very appreciated. And I, absolutely agree, I have met the most talented, good natured, supportive people right here on the 67 HWY! I would be so lost without this stretch of road that seems like a time machine!

Char! I am off to practice that song...you know...the one you did so well. The one I've never come close to publishing....I'm off to practice and will post the final attempt before this night is over. One more time....NO MATTER HOW IT TURNS OUT! Why did I say I would do that???? OMG

Hatchet...where are you? I certainly hope you've not gone back to working nights this weekend. You know that would be tooooo rude!

LOL Well, when you get a chance, if you have or have not sung Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man"....I would appreciate you performing it now. It is a challenge .. so I insist you perform. Should you decline..the next will be...hummmm not rap but something..is there anything you feel you can't do??? Do tell, I won't say a word. Really, I won't have to if you post it here..lol

I'm not crazy .. just really goofy for two days. So please just write my "off the wall" remarks away. I should, because only I could...but that does not suggest I would.

OMG, Stop Me....

Encase my challenge was buried in my jabbering: Hatchet please sing "Son of a Preacher Man". I'm trying...because Char did.

Mona, I'm saving my next challenge, which involves you and Dreamcatcher4U until you wake tomorrow. I don't know when I will tell you Deb...lol

HEY RICK! I have a list I want you to look over an say, Yes Miss Leslie..or No Ma'am...I cain't be singin' no song like dat!". OK, I'm off!

hehehehe...I have not forgotten you My Char....I will have yet another...it all depends on how this song I do turns out!

Guess I'm filling up this page by myself. Hummmmm. HELLOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

It has been thin around here for sometime....Hatchet has popped in when time allowed....and Rick has keep us updated on his Thanksgiving adventures....and Char, you have taken time to stay involved and keep the music flowing....and Well, I just tried that song. I think I'm depressed. I can't even make me believe it's ok LOL

ave a pitch problem going on. I want to sing it high...but it's not high. So..... well, I said I'd post the final. Actually I tried twice more to get it right. This is as good as I'm ever going to get it.

LOL This is The Preacher Man's Son Talked Too Much in the style of DejaHere. LOL

Now here is a great country tune by Hank Williams Jr. I just love some of his music! bmcdonald delivered a fine rendition of this fun, upbeat number.

I know I could not sing this. I believe there are two ... maybe three .... maybe just two members who have been active in the last week or so that could sing this song.

If you believe you can take this open challenge on, please do. If you do, please know I knew you could.

Jarhead_b4, ROBERT! What an awesome surprise! You've really been missed.

I imagine you're as busy as ever, but I am thrilled you dropped in. You picked a perfect song. Hatchet just jammed on this one, and you through in that natural flair for country genre.

Robert, thanks for creating a duet with our extremely gifted "little Hatchet..aka HarrietC. This will hopefully encourage others to enjoy singing this fun, fun song solo or in duet fashion. Like Rick was challenged to do LOLOLOLOL

Hi "Cool", just kidding...we know your schedule is a bit challenged just now..hugs.

Please take time to listen to Jarhead_b4 aka Robert's "kick your shoes off and dance 'til sunlight" duet with Hatchet!

[color=red]Hatchet!!!!!!! I am so grateful to hear Rudy is on the mend. It really sounds like your love and care gave him the will to push through...what very well could have been a stroke.[/b][/color]

But, mild stroke..mini strokes happen to us, the " self appointed humans", too. When things are settled, do take him to the vet and see if he needs a blood thinner or an aspirin a day or something like that.

I'm sooooo happy to be receiving happy news today. I really was depressed last night and today. Gotta open ears and hear the good stuff! Thank you for letting us know. I wanted to ask, but must admit...you did not say, and thought it might upset your holiday to keep bringing sorrow up. Love of a family can really mean the difference in life or death... Is there a song addressing that? LOL

BIG HUGS TO RUDY & ALL HIS FAMILY!
Love, Deja

CHAR! OMG, I listened to "Son of a Preacher Man and it was so bad I got the giggles. You are so kind! But, this is a great example of .... you support regarding.."I'll get better"....I can't carry a tune in a bucket. But, it would be better than carrying that song in my throat! lol.

Seriously, I do believe you were sincere in you comment, but if you have time...listen to it closely. I know time crunches can allow us to hear a general overview...but this has key, pitch, and just plain wrong problems....I wish I could think of some lines I delivered that sounded as if I was either crying, trying not to laugh, or about to be sick! LOLOLOLOLOL

I'm not disappointed because I knew before hand I have a problem with this one for some reason. I am going to leave it so all can listen to a song that can slip by .... friends, yet if they tune in with a critical..not negative..just a critical ear...OH MY MY! Bye Bye Preacher's son.. LOL

I am totally enjoying my blunders as well as those closer to acceptable. I was thrilled with the reaction to Gimme One Reason to Stay Here!

I have to try that Dusty old song again.

Char, yes you were one of the recently active members I felt had the skill to deliver this tune well.

Jarhead_b4: if you read this...I had not included you in my mental picks because you have not been active for a time. But, I would definitely have thought of you. So if you have time, we'd love to hear your version!

benjiwolf, you could ace this tune four times over and capture two kings at the same time. I did not include you in my mental picks because it has been, as with Robert, some time since you've been active. I think everyone would be very enthused if you would consider singing this one.

Now, there is at least one other that has been active, and I know can sing this very well. If you are thinking you can...you are right and you are the one!

Hope to hear some of the great HWY singers today!
Hugs, Deja
