Oh how I miss New Grass Revival. Thank goodness for my vinyl albums and CDs that I still listen to nearly every day of the year. I have been a music lover of all genres since I was 5 years old in 1959. There are four timeless male voices that will always remain at the top of my "greatest ever" list. They are (from oldest to youngest): Nat King Cole, Van Morrison, Don Dixon, and John Cowan.
Kathy Mattea- lead vocals and acoustic guitar (of course) Robert Bowlin- acoustic guitar John Mock- lead guitar Gerry Gillespie- bass and backing vocals Catherine Styron- piano Tommy Cozart- drums Christie Westmorland- backing vocals
আমি সেরা হওয়া দৌড়ানোর জন্যই জন্মেছি... 🏃 😁 Lyrics: Well, I never did crawl and I never did toe that line No man is a master to me I ain't that kind I just put on my traveling shoes If you wanna win you just can't lose the time Or stay behind Well I was born to run To get ahead of the rest And all that I wanted was to be the best Just to feel free and be someone I was born to be fast I was born to run Well I take the chances sometimes I've made mistakes But you don't get nothing unless you take the breaks Living as dangerous as dynamite Sure makes you feel nervous but it makes you feel alright Makes you feel alright Well I was born to run To get ahead of the rest And all that I wanted was to be the best Just to feel free and be someone I was born to be fast, I was born to run Nobody's gonna make me do things their way By the time you figure it out, it's yesterday Well it comes to he who waits I'm told But I don't need it when I'm old and gray Yea I want it today Well I was born to run To get ahead of the rest And all that I wanted was to be the best Just to feel free and be someone I was born to be fast, I was born to run
Hoyt had one of the most impressive voices in the music business. He could sing to the sadness in a persons’ heart and fill it with love and sweetness. What a gift he gave to us in his songs…..he will never be forgotten as long as even one person remembers. Love you, Hoyt and I’ll be asking you to sing to me in heaven for I know I will find you there, singing to the angels. ❤️🐈
It's hard to pick my favorite Hoyt song, they're all so good. But my favorite duet was the one he did with Linda Ronstadt--Lion in Winter. Oh man, what voices!!
Wikipedia: "The Vacant Chair" is a poem that was written following the death of John William Grout (July 25, 1843 - October 21, 1861). Grout was a soldier killed in the American Civil War during the Battle of Ball's Bluff. The poem, written by Henry S. Washburn was put to music by George Frederick Root and became a popular song of the post-Civil War era. John William Grout John William Gout John William Grout was born to Jonathan and Mary Jane Grout on July 25, 1843, at Worcester, Massachusetts. He attended the military academy there.[1] He served as a 2nd lieutenant of Company D, 15th Massachusetts Infantry[2] and was killed at the age of eighteen in the Battle of Ball’s Bluff on October 21, 1861.[1] Grout's body was recovered on November 5, 1861, after being washed 35 miles (56 km) back to Washington, D.C. His remains were identified by the name written on his clothing. Poem Henry S. Washburn Upon hearing of Grout's death, Henry Stevenson Washburn, a family friend, wrote "The Vacant Chair" in late 1861, and it was first published in the Worcester Spy, attributed to "H. S. W." It is an allegory that describes the pain suffered by the family of those killed in war during the season surrounding Thanksgiving. The poem was turned into song by George Frederick Root, who was living in Chicago and wrote other songs of the Civil War era, including "The Battle Cry of Freedom", "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!", read the poem, and decided to put it to music without consulting Washburn-the poem was not copyrighted.[2][3] The song was released in 1862 and became very popular in the South and North.[4] See also Life's Railway to Heaven Eliza R.
