Ould Hag You Killed Me -- or musical memories
This is actually the name of a song I have in my music collection. It's a very funny title, one that Tim and I will occasionally yell at each other. "Ould Hag, you killed me!"
It comes from this cd I picked up in Ireland at a pub in Dublin. I loved the band that played there. I actually extended my stay in Dublin to listen to them play for an extra night. When the band got really going, I would do my best pretend Irish step dancing (essentially jumping up and down with my hands on my hips) and just laugh and clap. Just lots of fun.

I downloaded some John Denver tunes today for my mellow 70s play list, and I had to download "Thank God I'm a country boy" because of the memories it brought back. I was traveling in Holland with my friend Megan during our year in France. We went out to a bar/dance club, and were having fun dancing. These Dutch boys wearing cowboy hats kept trying to pick us up, and this song came on, and you would think John Denver wrote it just for these Dutch boys -- who didn't speak English very well, but could sing along with every single word of this song. Cracked us up.
What are some of your favorite musical memories?

John Taylor. his band Terroristen. Halloween night 1998. Springfield, Va.
On that tour, John's smoke machine had two settings: not working and working overtime. So we either got this little dribble of smoke or we got choked to death with it.
Cut to the song Planet Earth and John's smoke machine is working overtime. We get to the line "my eyes so cloudy I can't seeee yooooouuuu"
and the whole audience sings it TO John because despite being 2 feet from him, the smoke was so thick we couldn't see him.
That whole tour was so much fun. Following Terroristen up and down the east coast to six different shows in a week.
Crazy.
Fun.
But crazy.
