If I had an IPOD!

My sons want me to get an I-POD.

I'm still listening to the radio when I exercise or jog. It's easier to tune in a radio station and listen to whatever they are playing.

If I had an I-POD, I would put these three songs, as well as a few others.

A couple of years ago, I saw "I walk the line", the great movie about the Johnny Cash-June Carter romance.

It reminded me how much I like Johnny Cash's sound.

This is a great combination. This is Johnny Cash singing Bob Dylan's "One too many mornings":

"Down the street the dogs are barkin'

And the day is a-gettin' dark.

As the night comes in a-fallin',

The dogs 'll lose their bark.

An' the silent night will shatter

From the sounds inside my mind,

For I'm one too many mornings

And a thousand miles behind.

From the crossroads of my doorstep,

My eyes they start to fade,

As I turn my head back to the room

Where my love and I have laid.

An' I gaze back to the street,

The sidewalk and the sign,

And I'm one too many mornings

An' a thousand miles behind.

It's a restless hungry feeling

That don't no one no good,

When ev'rything I'm a-sayin'

You can say it just as good.

You're right from your side,

I'm right from mine.

We're both just one too many mornings

An' a thousand miles behind."

The second song is Neil Diamond's "Stones". It was not a big hit but it is my favorite Diamond tune:

"Stones would play inside her head

And where she slept,

They made her bed

And she would ache

For love and get but stones

La la la la la la la la la

Lordy, child

A good days comin

And Ill be there to let the sun in

And bein lost

Is worth the comin home

La la la la la la la la la on stones

You and me,

a time for planting

You and me, a harvest granting

The every prayer ever prayed

For just two wild flowers that grow

La la la la la la la la la on stones"

The Temptations were one of the most successful Motown acts. They have a huge repertoire of hits, such as "My girl"!

I always loved "You're my everything":

"You surely must know magic girl
Cause you changed my life
It was dull and ordinary
But you make it sunny and bright
Now, I was blessed the day I found you
Gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good girl and you're all that matters to me
When my way was dark and troubles were near
Your love provided the light so I could see girl
Just knowin your love was near when times were bad
Kept the world from closin in on me girl
I was blessed the day I found you
Gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good girl and you're all that matters to me
Baby, you're part of every thought
I think each day
Your name is in used every phrase my lips sing
Every dream I dream is about you
Honey I can't live without you
Baby (baby), baby (baby), baby
You're my everything,
you're my everything,
yes you are(Don't you know you're my everything)
You're the girl I sing about
in every love song I sing(You're my everything)
You're my winter baby,
my summer, my fall and spring(You're my everything)
Now, now, I was blessed the day I found you
Gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good girl
and you're all that matters to me
You're my everything,
you're my everything,
yes you are(Don't you know you're my everything)
You're my everything, you're my everything(Don't you know you're my everything)
You're my everything,
you're my everything(When my way was dark and troubles were near, don't you know that)Don't you know you're my everything."
