Blue Night Express,early Dallas based bluegrass group and initially included Sharon and Troy Gilchrist,Todd VanTrice and Scott Dickey.
This band lasted about a year,after that the personnel changed and Martie Erwin joined to play fiddle.When Todd left the band,Martie's younger sister Emily started playing banjo.
All three girls learned to play the bass so they could keep Troy on guitar.The Blue Night Express lasted for nearly seven years.Sharon has fond memories of the band,at that time she was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen.

I really wanted to do this with my records because:
a) I have a lot more to choose from;
b) they would be easier to see;
c) they are just cooler than CDs.
I don't have that much room on my bedroom floor and I decided to do this a bit late in the evening, so CDs it is. Maybe I will try records another time.

I attended the awesome "return to the scene of the crime" DC gig at the Shepherds Bush Empire in 2006, having been a big fan since 1999 when Wide Open Spaces was released in the UK.

Truth No. 2

You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Well baby that might be so
I might get to the end of my life
Find out everyone was lying
I don't think that I?m afraid anymore
Say that I would rather die trying

Who-oh
Swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips

This time when he swung the bat
And I found myself laying flat I wondered
What a way to spend a dime
What a way to use the time, ain't it baby?
I looked at my reflection in the window walking past
And I saw a stranger
Just so scared all the time it makes me one more reason
Why the world's dangerous

Who-oh
Swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips

You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Well baby thats just not so
Tell me what's wrong with having a little faith
In what you're feeling in your heart
Why must we be so afraid
And always so far apart

Chorus:
Who-oh
Swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips
written by Patty Griffin/performed by the Dixie Chicks

I love this song and I was thinking of it recently and people who don't want to admit what is really the truth.

I began this early in 2003 and sent a draft copy to Laura Lynch, who kindly made some additions and corrections. This version is still a "work in progress" with a few uncertainties & names missing. Any further contributions would be appreciated!

I?m not ready to make nice
I?m not ready to back down
I?m still mad as hell and
I don?t have time to go round and round and round
It?s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn?t if I could
?Cause I?m mad as hell
Can?t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can?t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don?t mind sayin?
It?s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they?d write me a letter
Sayin? that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I?m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I?m still waiting

Welcome to the dark side

Something came to my attention today that has got me upset.

I know that by putting my photos on the internet I am opening the door for anyone in the world to view them. I know that some things are going to be deemed inappropriate. I am fine with that. Everyone is titled to their own opinion.

I am not ashamed about anything that I have uploaded. I am proud of the visual diary that I have created the past 271 days.

What I don't like is someone who will spread nasty rumors about something they have either heard I've done or actually has seen and has decided to put their own twist on it for their own egos benefit.

Yes, I can change my uploads to friends only...but that's not my point. My point is a big deal was made out of nothing.
