And this also a "tip of my hat" to Mom and Dad who have kept a great balance in our family's Christmas experience all these years. This song kind of sums up how I feel about Santa. (Well, if I did grow up warped it was not from this experience!) I never got mixed up and did not grow up warped from the experience. Then we would go home and celebrate opening presents and sing about Santa Clause. If Christmas Eve fell on a Sunday we would go to evening services and worship God and his baby, Jesus. Our family always celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve night (Santa had to deliver to some families early). I grew up knowing Christmas was a celebration of the the birth of the Christ - born in a manger in Bethlehem to Mary and Joseph. This will be my last blog about Christmas (for this season). Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World todayĪnd in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was playĪnd everybody loves everybody in the good old USA How I wanna hear the anchor man talk about a county fairĪnd how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane I'll come home this evenin' I'll bet that the news will be the same We sure could use a little good news today Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town "Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", because Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
One more sad story's one more than I can stand There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy Some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy I rolled out this morning - kids had the mornin' news show onīryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon There is good news out there if you look for it. How many years has it been since he was on the TODAY SHOW? But the message is still relevant. This song dates itself with the reference to Bryant Gumbel. And we do get a piece every now and then. Debbie is always saying she wishes the nightly news would give us some positive news. What a year we've had! Headlines told stories of infidelity, corruption, shootings, bombings, war, and economic disaster. What He's done for for others He will do for you It is the Christian message at its most simple form: GOD is on your side!Īlbum: Just As I Am - 30 Favorite Old Time Hymns When God is hunting for us so he can RESTORE our relationship with Him.

#COMPLETE LIST OF RONNIE MILSAP SONGS FIX MAC#
Mac Davis: A star of the 1970s, and also a great songwriter. Moe Bandy: He made hard country relevant again just as soft country was taking over in the mid-Seventies. Thanks to his return to the top in 1980 (three straight #1 singles, his nightclub Gilley’s being featured in the movie, and a #8 album, That’s All That Matters to Me – also his first to reach the Billboard 200), Gilley pretty much began that era! Mickey Gilley: You call Lee Greenwood “the definitive male vocalist of post-Urban Cowboy country music”. (Sadly, none of whatever of his I’ve heard to date show this.)
Not only was his stuff Latin-flavored, he’d even sing whole verses in Spanish. Johnny Rodriguez: The idea of a Hispanic country singer was unheard of before Johnny came along in 1972. I’ve listened to some of their stuff, and I can tell you that any one of these four would’ve been more worthwhile candidates than some of the men that did make the list:
