Ted Hawkins - "Sorry You're Sick" This song is a man. If it is anything, this song is a man. It wants to solve problems, invented or real. It wants to work, to be useful, to try and be tried. It is a full man and not young. It is through with the lies of youth, the games that youth play. It is tired of praying, for God is umpteen times useless. It lives heavily, with heavy joy, and with a sincere and earnest approach. It works every day and hard for a love that [...]
As a teacher, I'm used to waking in the dark, like a sneak thief rising in the night, stealing time from sleep while the spouse and children slumber. Past open doors and tiny sighs I go silently, to navigate the narrow stairs, start the coffee in the stove's tiny flourescent overhead, check morning email at the kitchen counter with nothing but the laptop glow to illuminate the keys. These days, by the time I come up again, fully dressed, to kiss them each in turn on my way out the door, their [...]

I began this blog seven months ago and I must admit that I had no idea back then what shape it would take. I'm quite surprised that I've reached my hundredth post so soon. This means that I've posted an average of three times per week, even though I have sometime gone weeks where I haven't posted at all. Most of my posts have been about music or gigs that I've attended or musicians I like. I've also posted a few times about current affairs, my travels, football and film. My two most popular posts have been Happy Birthday, [...]
Welcome Home Walker's new 7" not only has great art (with great moustaches), but shows that these boys from Portland have an infectious lust for the kind of Dion-meets-a-dinosaur five-chord guitar rock that has been sorely lacking in nearly every trash rock movement since the eighties, and never done quite as well as here.
Well folks, that's it for the drinking songs. Another box checked off the STWOF to-do list... I know I missed some good ones, but I'm all out of booze (and out of steam), so the rest will have to wait for another day. Right now, I just need some sleep! Until we meet again, enjoy these tunes: Ted Hawkins - Sorry You're Sick ( buy ) Lefty Frizzell & Johnny Bond - Sick, Sober & Sorry ( buy ) George Jones - Heartaches & Hangovers [...]

The first two paragraphs of Howard Zinn's People's History Of The United States: Arawak men and women, naked, tawny, and full of wonder, emerged from their villages onto the island's beaches and swam out to get a closer look at the strange big boat. When Columbus and his sailors came ashore, carrying swords, speaking oddly, the Arawaks ran to greet them, brought them food, water, gifts. He later wrote of this in his log: "They... [...]
Ted Hawkins: Missin' Mississippi [ purchase ] I will not spend time repeating myself, because I have just written a long piece about Ted Hawkins over at my own music blog . If you are not familiar with Hawkins, you really should be, and seriously won't regret looking further into his music - there are a couple more tunes to get you started in my Ted Hawkins post. Hawkins was raised in Biloxi, Mississippi (in fact, he also has a great song called [...]
Do you remember the first time you heard Jimmy Cliff's voice on Many Rivers To Cross or Sam Cooke on Touch the Hem of His Garment? Do you remember how it stopped you in your tracks, made you sit up and listen and, ultimately, blew you away? Ted Hawkins' voice has the same effect on me, but he is talked about and cited amazingly infrequently. I feel, therefore, that it is my duty to write about him, and perhaps even introduce his music to some new ears. Busker, con, wanderer. Ted Hawkins was... Please visit Ceci [...]

ART: John Lewis Krimmel, Dance in a Country Tavern , 1820 Charlie Parker used to hang out in Charlie's Tavern, a musician's bar in midtown New York. To the dismay of his acolytes, he liked to play country records on the jukebox. There was reluctance to question the taste of mighty Bird, but finally a brave jazzman asked him. "How can you stand that stuff?" Bird looked at him and said, "The stories, man. Listen to the stories!" [...]
Today for the Monday Morning Blues a taste of the worn and weary soulful voice of Ted Hawkins. A voice that really conveys the emotions of life's highs and lows like few others. from Wiki Ted Hawkins was an American singer/songwriter, born in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1936 and died in 1995. Hawkins was an enigmatic figure through most of his career; he split his time between his adopted hometown of Venice Beach, California where he was a mostly-anonymous street performer, and Europe, where he and his songs were better-known and [...]
A very busy week for me, too much to do at work and not enough time, not enough hands and bosses that understand less and less as they ask for more while paying less! On the positive side I have at last started to catalog my music collection, I've got as far as the digital side and with a bit of luck the CD part will be well underway this week-end. Who knows I may even discover things I had completely forgotten that I owned. Something on Ted Hawkins was planned for last Monday [...]
