Music Therapy

My son, Down Town Guy, brought his mama a mix CD yesterday when he came out for the Lily birthday celebration.
I consider this CD a rare and fine gift in that he considered my taste in music, my need for musical mental support and the songs that made me happy as a child.

The song list is as follows:

1. Grits Ain't Groceries - Lil Willie (and Mona Lisa was a man!?)
2. Coming Up Close - Valla, Turner, Williamson (my LIZZIE!)
3. Daniel and the Sacred Heart - The Band (Religious AND righteous)
4. Mary Don't Weep - The Boss (no translation needed)
5. Fixing a Hole - The Beatles (ditto)
6. Draft Board - Brennan Leigh (extremely interesting)
7. Diamonds - Carol Channing (not quite sure about that one but damn, I love it)
8. Case of You - Joni Mitchell (just try not to cry when you listen to this one)
9. Train Robbery - Levon Helm (his voice- oh, it breaks me)
10. I Know You Know - Lyle Lovett (thank you for assuming I'm that smart)
11. Cripple Creek - The Band (the stories I could tell...)
12. When I'm 64 - The Beatles (yes, I'll still feed you)
13. Richard - Joni Mitchell (we'll never see her like in this lifetime)
14. Skillet - Milkcrate Hustlers (new to me)
15. Katie Cruel - Oxford American (your mind will be shifted a space to the left of where it is and you may weep and not know why)
16. That Was - Paul Simon (Paul, where are you?)
17. Jolene - Dolly Parton (uh- this is not Dolly but she did write it and it's amazingly passionate)
18. Life's Been Hard (VTW again and it's Lis AND Lon and I love it so)
19. Diamonds - Paul Simon (try not singing along)
20. Day In The Life - The Beatles (best band in the history of the Universe)
21. When The President Talks to god - Bright Eyes (yes. Thank you)
