Youtube DJ

It all started when I walked into Scott's office at CLV.  Security Randy was with him and they were listening to music form Scott's computer - a bit unusual in my world for "grown men" to be spinning mp3s during the work day.  Allison Krauss then a Nanci Griffith - they were definitely in my neighborhood.  After a few comments on the music, I answered a couple of questions and left.

Fast forward a couple of hours.  Sharon is out on a work event, leaving Obie and I to fend for ourselves.  Obie and me, a glass of vino and YouTube.

YouTube is an amazing invention.  Artist or title in... a dozen versions of whatever out.  And I have yet to stump it.  One of the best aspects is that, if I just want to hear the sound of my son's voice (either one), YouTube will provide.

So, on to the DJ part.  What to play...  Defying Gravity from Wicked.  You're the Luck One by Allison Krauss.  Needle and the Damage Done by Neil Young.  Boots of Spanish Leather by Bob Dylan and sung by Nanci Griffith.  Happiness from You're a Good Man Charlie Brown.  The Donut Song sung by Burl Ives (watch the donut not the hole!).  Nancy Sinatra singing "The City Never Sleeps at Night" (B side of "These Boots are Made for Walking).  They even have Tubby the Tuba.  And one of my very favorites is "I Shall Be Released" by The Band.

As I sing at the top of my lungs, Obie just looks at me with that adoring look of "good one Dad" (or is it "maybe if I bite him, he'll shut up" - honestly, the look is all the same on a Golden)

So, go ahead and sing along with the late great Levon Helm.  It'll do you good.  It sure did me good.
