i was workin at a little dinner in town, and my friend david came in and told me his dad bailed on goin and he couldnt think of anyone who would want to put up with the day but me,.....so i covered my shift right then, threw on some blue jeans i found in the floor of my truck bought a cheap tank top at a truck stop on the way and took off to dallas

it stormed on us the whole way, which is one reason i didnt really worry about clothing,.....i knew no matter what i would just get wet

i'd been to festivals before,....but normally it just involved dancein around in a circle, or layin on a blanket,.....it was about the music, but also about the people around me,.....cross roads was different for me

i grew up on classic rock,...and to stand there and see joe walsh, james taylor, clapton, jeff ****in beck, jj cale, buddy guy, honeyboy edwards, santana,......it was epic to me,....

but as i stood there, i remember this guy in two polo shirts with poped collars comes out,....and just starts groovein,....just starts playin,....and he's makein these crazy faces,.....maybe it was that night,....maybe it was the high i felt just being there,....but i got john mayer right then,....

he's an amazing guitarist,....and he just,....he feels it,...its not theory, its not technical,....i really believe for him, its divine,....and i felt that,...

so you say john mayer's commin to town? sign my ass up

You know something I'm glad ya said this because I ****ing hated this guy when "the real world" or whatever the hell it was came out. I thought he was riding the DMB wave to hippie chick pussy and was the starbucks version of boy bands.

But I remember waiting out side of a Library one winter, waiting to pick someone up flipping around the radio and landing on Gravity, not knowing it was Gravity and thinking "I don't know what the hell this is, but its kinda badass." It was syrupy, it was thick, and funky. Ever since then I've moved past his early douchey appearance.

^ I was totally the same way. At first I thought he was cool, then I started really getting into music and got really pretentious for a while and thought he was lame, then gave him some more listens and liked it. He really is actually a good guitarist.

this morning i start anew
completely wiped out the ipod
completely dump the itunes

no more lucero
no more texas country

completely start over

old favorites may creep in later on, but i dont want any of my past in my present or future right now

new influences new directions
more folky
more acoustic
more love
love love love love love love

well,....except the allman brothers

i always keep the allman brothers

Brave brave woman. I was bitching because I had to start my library over a few months ago, it's hard building it up to something you won't get fed up with, so good luck! :)

If you want the URL for my Gothic Country mediafire folder just holler back girl.

^ This. I just couldn't see myself starting my library from scratch again without going nuts in the process. Best of luck to ya.

I'd die a little on the inside if I lost my entire music library. I'm not sure if you're brave or crazy, but good luck! It's probably for the best though if you're losing interest in your songs.

thanks guys,....for the luck
and thanks pete, for the link offer,...BUT

i think the best thing for me right now is to steer clear of country in almost any form

every few years or so, i do this
i wipe everything out and start clean,....

often times i find too many things tied to music,...memories, thoughts, feelings,.....and in order for me to move forward i have to physically start over

my new step mother is from lousiana,.....our christmas celebration was laced with holiday zydeco music, we had a cajun fried turkey, dirty rice stuffing, crawfish, and these wonderful green beans with brown sugar and soy sauce in them,.....(not that the green beans are cajun in the slightest,...but they were really really good)

in one of my gift bags there was also a copy of one of my favorite movies 'a love song for bobby long',......

i feel like my heart is in nola
and though i know its not exactly the way my mind remembers it,....i know my romantic idea of old buildings laced with iron work, beautifully sunken cemeteries, huge oak trees draped with spanish moss, creole and cajun cooking,....boudian and rolling rock,.....the air heavy with smoke and horns or saturated with red beans and rice and gravelly voiced blues,.......

i know this isnt the every day nola

but i still think she's my girl

This killed me. That sounds so good right now.
