One of his stranger - and sadder - songs
My buddy, my brother and I used to do what we called The Challenge. In the late evening Christmas Eve, we’d get in the car and try to find an open restaurant at or near midnight. More often than not, it was Denny’s, but we tried to make it somewhere else.
Why?
Love Randy Stonehill but he sure had some unusual songs - “American Fastfood” comes to mind.
My worst Christmas was getting robbed in Shenzhen in 2005. It took 16 days to get my passport and visa replaced
Lung cancer is another one
I will learn this song and play it Christmas Eve at church.
I’ve spent a great deal of time and money trying to help homeless folks only to find they mostly are homeless because they don’t want a home. We will never know the story for their choice unless we try, and only then can we use the discretion of where we might throw pearls.
RIP Root.
He used to come into the small record store in the neighborhood in Takoma Park, Md. where I was living at the tiem. The store was owned by a son of the former Governor, Blair Lee. I would go in there and he would be sitting in a chair with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Looking back I should have taken an album, or even that 45 in and had him autograph it. However, I never knew exactly when he would be there, so I guess that is why I never did that.
Many people love Christmas, and celebrate all the holidays.
Some folks spend more than a few of them alone, whether by choice or circumstance.
Wow. Thanks for this. I can't believe I haven't heard it before.
One of my favorite versions of Randy Matthews "Didn't He" Was at the end of a bootleg cassette of Mike Warnke.
Because.
Aye. I'll bet he had a hoot recording that one. But he did have some more serious stuff:
Both Puppet Strings, First Prayer, and Rachel Delavoryas are pretty good.
