End Of 2015

Well, it's come to the end of another year. Thank you to all of those who either checked out, commented and follows or followed my blog. This year's postings have been somewhat challenging. As you can tell, they haven't been on some sort of a time-frame/schedule. There is a reason for that which is that I have received a kidney transplant after some time on hemodialysis. After this new transplant, I've been catching up on what readings I knew were to come. For those of you that do look at this blog, thank you for your patience, understanding and most of all for responding to this blog in the ways that you have. Within this new year of 2016, there will be some more book surprises and more. Hope you stay tuned to find out what they are. . . .

Honky Tonk Girl: My Life In Lyrics

This book is one that, while closing out the 2015 year in this blog, is a TREASURE from a TRUE ICONIC LEGEND. A TREASURE for any fan of this Honky-Tonk Girl. The ORIGINAL Coal Miner's Daughter, Loretta Lynn. While this is a songbook, it's MUCH MORE THAN THAT! While giving the lyrics of ICONIC songs in country music; but the backstory as to how inspiration came to LIFE! with full lyrics in tow. A biography written in song.

From classics and hard-core truth, to collaborations that made a monument throughout time. Bringing and Keeping memories ALIVE! This book is one that, when reading it, can & does bring memories flooding, and sometimes literally bringing a tear. No matter on numerical age; these collaborations & lyrics withstand the test of time. Sometimes giving a TRUTH behind what is/was otherwise inclined to believe behind the song.
