Day 25 - The End

Day 20 - All I Can Do Is Write About It

I know it's Thursday, but I'm going to file this post under Tuesday Tunes, anyway. There's a reason I'm posting 2 tunes this week, but I'll explain that in a bit.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is probably most well know for singing "Sweet Home Alabama", "Tuesday's Gone", and "Free Bird". Like many others, I love those songs. But, my favorite song is "All I Can Do Is Write About It". It reminds me how lucky I am and how I should appreciate and take care of the things I have.



On this day 34 years ago, Lynyrd Skynyrd lost their pilot Walter Wiley McCreary, co-pilot William John Gray, road manager Dean Kilpatrick, back-up singer Cassie Gaines, Cassie's brother and the band's guitarist Steve Gaines, and lead singer and songwriter Ronnie Van Zant. They were on their way to Baton Rouge when their plain ran out of fuel and crashed in a swamp by Gillsburg, Mississippi.

Day 18 - Rise

This was easily one of the most uplifting, inspiring, and depressing movies I have ever seen.

If you haven't already seen Into The Wild, you should.

Day 11 - Bama Breeze

Growing up, my mom was always listening to and playing music. I'm sure that's why my emotions and moods can be so affected by what I'm listening to. Jimmy Buffett is one of my long time favorites. I sent him a wedding invitation, and received an autographed photo in return. Dad and I danced to "Little Miss Magic" at my wedding.

Jimmy's music is some of the first I turn to when I just want to relax. There's a lot more to Jimmy Buffett than Margaritaville...
