Yah hah

Unused blogs age fast. Just another dead-end.

I hate to let this one die. Even though it's purpose is at present purposeless. I like the name, though, and it must endure for that reason, if for no other!

I was writing about the CDs I was getting. But there hasn't been too many lately. Except one day I got 15 or 16 at one time. And some I've actually listened to. The whole thing of getting them on my iPod isn't very handy, but a matter of step step step. (I don't like putting them directly into iPod's format because it isn't useful for anything else and I'd rather have them as mp3's since I can use that format in various ways.)

Anyway, one of the CDs was an oddball for me, a few actually. "The Very Best of Conway Twitty." I've had Twitty tracks before, an album here or there, but never for listening. Except for the old single, "It's Only Make Believe." This album has 10 tracks, and the only one I'd ever heard before, besides "Make Believe" was "Hello Darlin'". But I got it on the iPod and listened to the whole album a couple times.

"Don't Cry Joni" is the weirdest track. It's about a guy 21 and a girl 15, but she's too young, so he goes off somewhere else. Then five years later when he wants her, and she has vowed to wait for him, he finds she's already married. The other tracks are pretty good, good enough anyway, in a very twangy, affected country style.
