The Nadas

Listen to “Feels Like Home”

I’ve been listening to the Nadas for quite a while. At least 12 years of auditory enjoyment. I remember seeing them perform at the OP in Cedar Falls, Iowa while I was a student at the University of Northern Iowa. I’ve seen them perform at venues in Iowa, in Chicago, […]

Stand By Me

( This and that and Music and Video )

A fantastic version of this classic song. It was shared by a friend to my partner Wendy who in turn sent it to me. It’s a powerful and very moving rendition. This song always reminds me of those who have supported me along the way.

Not Ready To Make Nice

I think I’m going to buy the entire Dixie Chicks discography. I love the song “Not Ready To Make Nice.” The lyrics are very moving.
I can’t wait to watch “Shut Up and Sing.”

The movie from two time Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Barbara Kopple and Cecelia Peck that chronicles the lives of the Dixie Chicks […]
