I would walk through hell on Sunday just to hear her sing.

I think this was number 304 times I have listened to that.

Hey I heard it about three hundred times now check the views for the first time you posted it.

I just thought of a great reply for the "good time to die post"
Old Waylon
"you can die from the cold in the arms of a night mare knowing well that your best days are gone."
Texas troubadors there is no substitute.
Mnaz really nailed it though.




Good night love birds and thanks.

Clay was just listening to hester again tonight and wanted to post it again. I don't blame him! Her voice is just so fine... she should be a star! She IS a star in my eyes!

;)

gnight to you, 'truckin!

That's a great quote from Waylon! Thank you for that!

Awwwwwwww!
Y'all make me feel so good!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!

I have to tell you, (I keep forgetting), a few days ago, I wanted so very much to do something for those so devastated by the hurricane and the ensuing blundering of our government, I sent the link to this song to the red cross, to the salvation army, to CNN and to a local news station in Portland, and a few other places, as my donation to the cause. I just didn't have anything else to give and I so wanted to....hope it was alright to send it out on the link from here....it's such a great old song and I thought it might help someone for a moment, to just sing along.....and feel better.
Music always saves me....I thought it might help someone else a little you know....
:shock:
Thanks again for this Doreen and LR
I mean, i never thought I'd be singin on the internet and it's a real trip and a boost to my self-esteem which is awfully low at times, as you know, better today, thanks to you and the rest of the studio eighters.....

Big smooches from the bottom of my heart

Jesus fucking Christ - I've just acquired the biggest inferiority complex possible. She should be banned! She's far too good. :evil:

hest.... we're honored to host your voice for the world! Why? because everybody in the world should hear you! You deserve stardom. No kidding. Billy Holiday got nuthin' on you!

No inferiority complex allowed, microbe! Hell, everybody else in the world would have to stop singing after hearing her if inferiority complexes were allowed. ;)

Here's some more, microbe! Listen to the gal... she's the cat's meow!

microbe, don't leave
post some more of your music

I wish hester would sing some of my songs

I don't run from excellence - I embrace it. Now if Hester wants a bear hug from a twenty stone Englishman....... 8)

MMMMmmmmm a bear hug?
sounds grand!
hugs are in short supply round here....!
:D

LRod, it would be so cool to do a song/songs of yours. We all must meet someday soon, create a hugely successful studio eight cd complete with spoken word, tunes, art, politics, jams, a complete work of CyberSoul!
Man, wouldn't that be sumpthin?
Turn our riches to riches!
Dreams to reality.
I"m gettin dizzy just thinkin about it!
