Dave, Carlene, Grease, and Grands
A friend sent me to YouTube the other day to catch a cool video and I got to lay eyes on Dave Edmunds for the first time. I dunno too much about this guy, except that he once sang a duet with Carlene Carter. I dunno much about Carlene Carter either, except that I think she’s June’s daughter, she’s definitely a looker, and she once sang a duet with Dave Edmunds.
(And just as an aside, now that I’ve seen Dave, I’m even more in love than I was back when I first heard the duet.)
But more to the point, there’s a line in the duet that goes like this: “....if your lovin’ is good and your cookin’ ain’t greasy, then chuck the Chuck Wagon and we’ll ride away.”
Gawd! I would trade my Smokey Mountain Backscratcher for the CD that contains that song! Because hey! Anybody who can squeeze a line into a love song about greasy food is my kind of people!
No, I don’t especially like greasy food. But the idea of singing about it amuses me. (Admittedly, my sense of humor is a tad off-center, but it's a congenital disorder and I’m proud of it. Or proud OF it, as we say down here south of the Mason-Dixon Line.)
Now, if someone would just sing a love song and squeeze in a line about mold and mildew, I believe I could die happy.
----------------------------On another subject -- all grands being equally perfect and because Wissh likes to look at them -- here’s a pic of THE KID’s kids: Aidan-The-Pensive and Always-Agreeable-Mackenzie, (or Little Mac, for short).

I believe they are cute enough to have their little cheeks pinched!
I'm no song writer, otherwise I'd hook ya up with the mold and mildew bit.
Your grandkids are adorable.
I once had two Shetland Ponies named Greasy Pot and Dishrag.
I believe my parents have mentioned that I was a somewhat difficult child to raise.
Feef, no kidding, you have the cutest grands in the world. But then, you knew that.
^ Pshaw, that's only because he, as the eldest, became a doctor AFTER his sister became one. Difficult indeed.
^^^Hmpff... i think mine are pretty cute.... LOL
Oh I could just eat Little Mac with a spoon!!
Yes.
I love Dave Edmunds. I even met him once.
And yes, I'm the friend who sent Feef the life-altering video clip.
And yes, My first name is Edmund.
And yes Feef, I will marry you...
if your lovin’ is good and your cookin’ ain’t greasy, then chuck the Chuck Wagon and we’ll ride away.
How about "You are the mold of my life, the mildew of my heart"? Well, it's a try. I'm single. Now you know why. (Sweet, sweet picture)
Good read, it was interesting,even though I have no idea what you are talking about.
He also recorded an album with one of my all time favs - Nick Lowe.
Have you heard any of Lucinda Williams' latest?
Or this guy's?
Darlin grand kids by the way. I wish I could see my little darlin granddaughter more often. She lives in Kentucky.
(I think I'm at my site when I'm here, our colors are the same.)
They are so precious.
Check your messages, okay?
Hugs, Tricia
You have the cutest grandkids anybody ever had. Even Kit says so.
Mold and mildew in a love song... Hmmm... I'm on it, Fifi. I just need to grab my six string, ball point pen, notebook, and a can of Lysol.
Don't forget Uncle Dave Macon's "Keep My Skillet Good & Greasy All The Time" - of course, the only thing he was in love with was a plate of flapjacks...
ryc: I just realized that amazon (and barnes & noble online) have used copies available.
RYC: Thank ya kindly ma'am. I'm originally from Louisville, but moved to the country, down in "Skunk Holler," when I was 16, where all those barefoot backwoods country girls swooned over me (yeah, right). Skunk Holler is south and west of L-ville, just across and down from Spider Ridge.
RYC: But we didn't choose the limelight in the first place.
That picture is criminally cute.
How are you this beautiful Sunday?
Tricia
