July 23, 2006 - Sunday

(I ended up seeing this show with Amy. We were at one of the front tables at the Variety Playhouse. It was great!!! -Janet, Oct. 07)

5:04 PM - 3 days and counting!!! Current mood: thoughtful I am really, really excited about seeing Josh Ritter with Nancy on Wednesday night. I already know that I'll be shedding tears (as I am wont to do when I see & hear favorite musicians play live at last). Finally purchased _The Animal Years_, his newest CD, and already love several tracks. Right now am digging the first track I heard off of it when in Pittsburgh a while back while listening to WYEP 91.3--where the music matters. For those of you who don't already have emusic.com accounts, LET ME INVITE YOU TO JOIN SO THAT WE ALL MAY GET FREE MP3s. Then you can buy the new Josh Ritter CD and tons others for very little money. And then you can listen to this song and tear up and think about how much I hope he plays this on Wednesday night. Good Man These chords are old but we shake hands Cause I believe that they're the good guys We can use all the help we can So many minor chords outside I fell in love with the sound Oh I love to sing along with you We got tunes we kicked around some We got a bucket that the tunes go through Babe we both had dry spells Hard times in bad lands I'm a good man for ya I'm a good man Last night there was a horse in the road I was twisting in the hairpin My hands held on my mind let go And back to you my heart went skipping I found the inside of the road Thought about the first time that I met you All those glances that we stole Sometimes if you want them then you've got to Babe we both had dry spells Hard times in bad lands I'm a good man for ya I'm a good man They shot a Western south of here They had him cornered in a canyon And even his horse had disappeared They said it got run down by a bad, bad man You're not a good shot but I'm worse And there's so much where we ain't been yet So swing up on this little horse The only thing we'll hit is sunset Babe we both had dry spells Hard times in bad lands I'm a good man for ya I'm a good man
