January 29th – Aliens set me free

It’s January 29th, 2024; Enjoy this hot blues song! Many thanks to my songwriter/guitarist husband, Richard Murrey, singer, Bubba Hudson (who really cuts loose on this one!), and producer, Steven Cooper from his Nashville, TN studio for crafting this swinging fun blues song.

Blues song

Here’s the twenty-ninth new music post for 2024, as I consistently present original songs for you to enjoy each day this year. This song gives us quite a bit of lyrical content meat to chew on:

Witness protection

Have you ever felt like you needed to be in Witness Protection? Ha! This is a song about that! The dude is asking the bartender for a shot, a Stoli, or such ’cause he’s got no family, no kin, and is in Witness Protection and has the blues! They changed everything, right down to his shoes and he’s singing about it! Oh, this is good!

Still working on the next music video but had competing priorities today

I had a few snags on the video software yesterday, and too many issues today (competing priorities, yes, even though I am retired) when it came to trying to mail a small ‘flat rate’ package! UGH. I’m not even kidding. No more mailing of packages for me while we live here!

Remember we don’t. have a car, and one of the reasons I wanted to live in an apartment community was so we’d have a business office where I could print shipping labels and mail things. NOPE!

When we moved in the business office was being renovated. Now that the computers and printers are set up though, no one paired the printer to the PCs! UGH. I was nice but after we walked back to our apartment for me to get my Gmail password so I could email the package label (and a few other items) to myself, I then found out that I couldn’t and the office manager had to let me log into her computer to be able to print everything. What a PITA! Then, the mail person didn’t pick up from the office, so we walked to the grocery plaza to see if they would let me drop it there for the post person to pick up. NOPE! I asked at two other shops, NOPE!

We live 3 miles from the post office so too far to walk. And if I call our driver it will cost $10-$15 to take us there/back. So, we gave up for today and went to Milano’s for a bottle of wine and some bread (we weren’t hungry as in between times I’d made us egg sandwiches as we hadn’t even yet when we went to the office the first time).

Thankfully, while sitting at the restaurant the mailman came in (late, I’d already asked the gal we knew at the hostess station said they drop mail off each day by noon, and now, it was nearly 1 pm). Richard saw him and mentioned some guy had just come in and dropped off something. I said, WHAT? She overheard me and asked me if I wanted her to stop him (as he was already out the door and his little USPS truck was just outside at the curb. I replied, YES! So, she ran out ahead of me and hailed him. I was close behind with my little flat rate box in hand (totally forgetting another stamped envelope I had to mail). I asked him if I’d affixed the paper label properly, and he looked at it, and said, “Yeah.” So, I thanked him and told him he was an ANGEL! And off he went and I went back inside to enjoy the rest of my wine. I then realized we were having a celebratory bottle of wine instead of a ‘cool our jets’ bottle of wine. LOL Oh, Lawd! LOL The word, TRUST came back to mind. I guess everything really does happen in diving time.

I didn’t even mention I had to use Pirateship to get a mailing label/pay for it to be able to tape it to the ‘flat rate’ small priority mail box I’d ordered a week ago only to find the Post Office didn’t want me to put stamps on it. I’m not kidding! The rigamarole to ship one small box to my bestie for her birthday could be a whole other blog post!

So, if you have a favorite video creation software/app, let me know. OR if you want to create a music video for us (for this song) let me know! As a thank you in advance, here’s our newest song, Tell It To Me:

January 28th – Waiting for the light

It’s January 28th, 2024; Enjoying the bluesy jazz of the saxophone (played by the incomparable, John Heinrich) on this original rock song that tells a story. Many thanks to my songwriter/guitarist husband, Richard Murrey, singer, Bubba Hudson, and producer, Steven Cooper from his Nashville, TN studio for creating such a powerful song.

Jazzy blues rock

Here’s the twenty-eighth new music post for 2024, as I consistently pump out original songs for you to groove to each day this year. This song offers a glimpse of what it’s like to lose a friend (in this life) and wait for the light. We cherish our memories. We look back on fun times–while living in the night. We hope we get to do all we need to do in this life before it’s our turn to wait for the light.

Friends from their first meeting

My husband, Richard Murrey, had a good friend named Kevin who passed years ago from a brain issue. They had been friends from their first meeting and had a lot in common–both artists. This was all years before I came into Richard’s life. He’s told me many times, even getting misty-eyed after his stroke, of all the fun times he and Kevin had. I can only imagine! After Richard and I met, I got to meet (via phone conversations) Kevin’s wife and brother. They both sounded like wonderful people and I am glad Richard has stayed in touch with them.

I always listen to this when I want the solace of bluesy jazz and want to recollect great times with good friends who have passed on. It lifts me up somehow. It gives me hope somehow that I may see my friend again one day (in the Grand Beyond). But let us know what you think of when you listen to this, okay?

Here’s a little something I found from a recent email from Shirley MacLaine, when I searched my hard drive about ‘waiting for the light’. I’ve followed Shirley MacLaine (whom I subscribe to her emails) for years. I’ve admired her spiritual journey, her dancing, and her acting over the decades. I’ve read and enjoyed her many books and articles and think you might too!

Music videos

I’m trying out a couple of new video apps today to see which ones I might use to create music videos for any new songs we write. I just did a search and looked for free trials. I really dislike buying software, but I will if I find the right one that’s easy to learn and offers me what I think I’ll need. If you have any recommendations, let me know! As a thank you, here’s our newest song, Tell it to me.
