Forward My Calls to the Hen House
May 27th, 2009
Don’t fret if things are a little quiet in here over the next few days. I am running away — but not for long, I promise. I’m headed to Montana for a GIRLS fishing trip, and I am so excited! Eight chicks fishing and hanging out for an entire week….I am quite literally, tickled pink.
My bags are packed and I’ve got my special ladies’ fishing gloves in my carry-on. Wouldn’t want to lose these babies:
I know. Words escape me too. I’d sooner show up on the river in over-the-elbow white kid opera gloves, a tiara & a ballgown than I would ever don those pink plastic things.
At any rate….while I’m away in MT huddled up in the hen house, I thought you might enjoy some good chick music. So I’ve pulled together a sampling of my favorite lady crooners to keep you company while I’m gone. Hope everyone has a good week and I will catch you on the flipside.

Thaks Jerry! I don’t know why I did so many slow tunes. Probably because I was packing and winding down after a long day. I was feeling tired and ready to relax so they sounded good to me. I just watched the movie “Cadillac Records” for the 2nd time so I’ve been spinning Etta James a lot lately. Which conjures up Ella & Milman & such…
Hope everyone’s not asleep when I get back! Enjoy the tunes…

Great Playlist…………..
As a old rooster, secure in his own cape, permit me to suggest a few additions to the Hen House.
Emmylou’s- Queen of the Silver Dollar and ‘Til I Gain Control Again
Ronstadt’s – Lowell George’s/Little Feat version of Willin’
Joplin’s – Bobby McGee
Added a few up-tempo tunes for when you throw the cork away.

love it. ‘Til I Gain Control Again’ is a favorite. Love Janis. Since girls covering Kristoferson is a theme, we should add Lynne Anderson’s version of ‘Help Me Make It Through The Nite’…although it doesn’t help the tempo.

While I am jealous as hell that you are headed off to Montana and I am stuck here in Ohio I do like your play list-especially all the Etta James-love her work, especially her “Blues to the Bone” album.
Have fun fishin!

no Susan Tedeschi . . .no Salt n Pepa?
Is the Fly Fish Chick and her entourage going to grace Banditos with their presence or will the professor be too jealous?

Have fun CHICK and be safe and hurry home (at least to the computer).

Oh c’mon FFC – The gloves would so match the pink rod and the hair on your Facey Space.
