Favorite Sound

[kdfrawg]

I'm going to have to trim down some of the tape of my daughter and the marching band. When Kjell and Teresa get the video / slideshow function installed and running, I'll be able to put some up on the forum.

I love night sounds - sitting on a creek bank, fishing with night crawlers and waiting for that first tug on your bait.  But my favorite of all is children laughing and playing.  What a wonderful happy sound that is.  I have many favorite sounds - and they all revolve around sounds made by our girls and our grandchildren.

My favorite sound is water. I love the sound of rain, waterfalls, waves, fountains... I love it all.

I love night sounds - sitting on a creek bank, fishing with night crawlers and waiting for that first tug on your bait.  

I love these words.  I read them and I was instantly on a creek bank at night fishing.  I could just hear everything.  Thanks, Jo, for making me remember.

The instant I read those words, I thought of the Tom. T. Hall song Mama's Got the Catfish Blues.

I ain't had a bite cause the moon's too bright
I wish I had a big one or two
My trotline's set and my hooks're all wet
And mama's got the catfish blues.

Don't like to see her unhappy, she treats me like a water tree
I hate to see mama with the catfish blues
And the catfish're laying in the river asleep
There's a bottle of wine laying easy on my mind
I dug enough bait to catch a few
My reel is wet but I cannot forget
Mama's got the catfish blues.

There's a turtle on the stump and the toadfrog jump
And I guess I could gig me a few
In settlin' fog I caught a big water dog
Mama's got the catfish blues.

Don't like to see her unhappy, she treats me like a water tree
I hate to see mama with the catfish blues
And the catfish're laying in the river asleep
There's a bottle of wine laying easy on my mind
I dug enough bait to catch a few
My reeling's wet but I cannot forget
Mama's got the catfish blues...

I like the sound of fibbing for the sake of love.

THE BIRD ON NELLIE'S HAT

"I'll be your little honey and I'll promise that,"
said Nellie as she rolled her dreamy eyes.

"Well it's a shame to take the money," said the
bird on Nellie's hat. "Last night she said the same
to Johnny Wise."

Then to Nellie Willie whispered as they fondly kissed.
"I'll bet that you were never kissed like that!"

"Well, you don't know Nellie like I do,"
said the saucy little bird on Nellie's hat!"

[kdfrawg]

LOL! That's cute, Rudy!

Wait a minute, I think I knew her...

I think when the clock chimes 10 you two come out on the back porch and do your howlin' at the moon.  hahahahahah  what a fun day, I have had --- and for someone my age a fun day is an All Right Day !!!

I used to have a dog named BJ, who was mainly an Australian herding dog. If I got down at his level, which just meant sitting on the floor, and tilted my head back and started to howl, BJ would howl with me all night long. It was especially fun from the balcony when the moon was full. It drove the neighbors crazy.

I have lots of favorite sounds..

but top on the list is when my grown boys, Danny & Derek  call and I hear," Hi Mama..what cha' doin".
Ashley wrapping her arms around my neck and saying," I love you Mee Maw"
Mason.. when he looks at me and smiles and laughs..
The sound of my own mama and daddy's voice..
and my Grandma Workman's voice, which I miss hearing..
(She would call me every single day and always start out with" Hi sweet angel")

Those are my first best favorite sounds..
