Thank you Tonk.
Thanks for showing the rest of us younger soldiers what "right" looks like.
Alberto Barros, Chevere.....
Yeah, it's safe. He's singing about how good salsa music is, etc. While there is no direct translation for the word "chevere," it generally means, "It's good," or "It's wonderful," "It feels good," etc.
However, this type of salsa is what I refer to as "vanilla salsa." While there is not a direct linkage I kinda draw the following parallel: The Boston Pops trying to do "Dave Brubeck" or "Led Zep".....just doesn't quite cut it, if you know what I mean. Not enough rhythm, brass, percussion, not hard-driving enough, etc and kind of "plain Jane" kinda stuff.....not like the "power salsa" I have.....just can't post it because I record at 320 K and file sizes are too big with little webspace available to me.
I have uploaded a few to StarCMC but I always feel like I am imposing and inconveniencing her for music that is not very popular in the Canteen. Seems like a wasted effort.
The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore
Loneliness - it's a cloak you wear,
A dark shade of blue is always there.
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore,
The moon ain't gonna rise in your sky,
The tears are always clouding your eyes,
When you're without her.
Oh baby.
Emptiness is a place you're in,
With nothing to loose, I've more to win.
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore,
The moon ain't gonna rise in your sky,
The tears are always clouding your eyes,
When you're without her.
I'm lonely without you baby.
And Girl I need you,
I can't go on.
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore,
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky,
The tears are always clouding your eyes,
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore,
When you're without her.
Oh baby.
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore,
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore,
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore,
It ain't gonna shine,
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore,
It ain't gonna shine.
Psa 149:3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
Thanks for the clarification .. actually, I'd be curious to hear a little "power salsa", myself!
Good morning Drumbo! Thanks for the great tunes this morning. *HUGS*
Craig Morgan - Redneck Yacht Club
i'm meeting my buddies out on the lake
we're headin out to a special place
we love that just a few folks know
there's no signing up, no monthly dues
take your johnson, your mercury or your evinrude and fire it up
meet us out at party cove
come on in' the waters fine
just idle on over and toss us a line
(Chorus:)
basstrackers, bayliners and a party barge,
strung together like a floating trailer park anchored out and gettin loud
all summer long side by side there's five houseboat front porches astroturf,
lawn chairs and tiki torches
regular joes rocking the boat that's us
the redneck yacht club
bermuda's' flip-flops and a tank top tan
popped his first top at ten a.m., thats bob
he's our president
we're checking out the girls on the upper deck rubbin' in 15 spf, its hot
everybody's jumpin' in
later on when the sun goes down
we'll pull out the jar and the old guitar
and pass'em around
(Chorus:)
basstrackers, bayliners and a party barge,
strung together like a floating trailer park anchored out and gettin loud
all summer long side by side there's five houseboat front porches astroturf,
lawn chairs and tiki torches
regular joes rocking the boat that's us
the redneck yacht club
when the party's over and we're all alone
well be making waves in a no wake zone
(Chorus:)
basstrackers, bayliners and a party barge,
strung together like a floating trailer park anchored out and gettin loud
all summer long side by side there's five houseboat front porches astroturf,

the redneck yacht club

Thanks for all you do!!

Live Like You Were Dying - Tim McGraw
He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how's it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what'd you do
and he said
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
He said I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn't
and I became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn't such an imposition
and I went three times that year I lost my dad
well I finally read the good book
and I took a good long hard look
at what I'd do if I could do it all again
and then
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about
what'd you do with it what did you do with it
what did I do with it
what would I do with it'
Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
