Songs that are on your mind

@snowflake954 When I was in Rome, it was the first time I've experienced panhandling, urban camping/homeless. I didn't know what to do and everyone said not to give them money. That's difficult. Yesterday, I was downtown and I saw a single mother coming down the street with her toddler. She was pulling him along and he didn't have a winter coat on. He'd wet his pants and I knew it was because he was soooo cold. I tried to pull over but I couldn't find a place. I wanted to give her everything I had in my purse. Couldn't find her. Still makes me sick as a dog and I want to howl.

I ain't one for pomp and circumstance. An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of horsesheet. I am deeply imprinted by my family. My father used to say, if we go to so and so's house and they have nothing but apple crates for furniture...you will treat it
like gold or I won't take you anywhere ever again. If I ever catch any of you ever turning your noses up at someone else, you will be in big trouble.

My grandpaw used to help those who were down to their last dime. We have many coming through here from all over the world. There used to be hitchhikers everywhere and you still see them. Grandpaw was robbed once after helping someone and had his head busted open with a bottle of whiskey but it didn't stop him. My father was robbed and hit over the head with a bottle of whiskey, too. He gave someone a ride and they took his car. They threw him into a ditch out here in the middle of nowhere. He laid there for a day or more. This is still the wild, wild west.

I will be watching for that young woman.

I'm playing these songs simply because I like them. Carry on, carry on.
