I know you appreciate the music of Ray Lamontagne because you sang the song "Trouble"<BR/>Amos Lee has some really powerful music and the lyrics are awesome. I can picture you singing many of these songs, and the lyrics truly touch my heart, and most likely many others that hear the songs.<BR/><BR/>I also read that you are listening to the new Paul McCartney CD. I really enjoy the Paul McCartney Unplugged CD and I was wonder if you have heard this one as well.<BR/><BR/>I am a true music lover, and I am one who appreciates the lyrics and the emotions that flows through when listening. I believe that you have a wonderful talent and will do very well in any path you chose. You have come to a crossroad in your life where you will make the choice in the direction that will make your spirit soar.<BR/>I hope you have the time to answer as I am really anxious to hear your opinion on the artist Amos Lee.<BR/>Again, Chris, you are a shining star and you will shine for many many years.<BR/>Thank you for sharing your talent and your heart with all of us.<BR/>Deb Jagerdebjagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04393143849374147133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-36715050855161740902007-08-02T00:00:00.000-05:002007-08-02T00:00:00.000-05:00To All,From GDA,Took time to look up “Honey West” ...To All,<BR/>From GDA,<BR/><BR/>Took time to look up “Honey West” the discovered description varies from my recollection but then I haven’t seen an episode in quite a long time. <BR/>http://www.thrillingdetective.com/honey.html<BR/><BR/>Apparently like “The Avengers” I originally took much of the show at face value and quite serious because I didn’t have the background on the things that were parodied or satirized.<BR/>Unlike “The Avengers”, which have been broadcasted on off since their first appearance and available on dvd and tape, “Honey West” I haven’t seen since the mid-seventies and haven’t seen on tape or dvd, if it is available.<BR/>One of the write ups states that Aaron Spelling having seen “The Avengers” while in England tried to get Honor Blackman to play Honey West. When she declined sought a look a like which is why Anne Francis got the role.<BR/><BR/>By the Way.<BR/>Does anyone remember that this all started with the mechanics of an artist songwriting, recording and making an emotional connection with his audience?<BR/>I ask that knowing full well my comment on John Deere inadvertently brought us to this point.<BR/><BR/>Sorry Chris,<BR/><BR/>GDAgdahimselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873620098889873116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-32978884363766279642007-08-01T22:52:00.000-05:002007-08-01T22:52:00.000-05:00girlygirl, you just made my day he has kids, omg t...girlygirl, you just made my day he has kids, omg that is one thing they said i might never be able to do, i mean i always wanted to adopt but i always wanted to joy of being preganant, but i said if God wants me to have a child he will provide away, so i kinda got rid of that worry, but wow, thanks for saying that...turely made my dad.amandarhea86https://www.blogger.com/profile/16121909580150076125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-71534892558853937622007-08-01T22:36:00.000-05:002007-08-01T22:36:00.000-05:00Amanda, Okay, so you haven't totally kicked its bu...Amanda, Okay, so you haven't totally kicked its butt, and there's more work to do on that score. Good for you for being able to squeeze a few more concerts under the wire; the joy you get from that and from seeing your favorite Idols will help you through your next step, along with all the people near and far who are pulling for you. A friend of my brother's had leukemia when he was just a few years older than you (25 I think). He had to go for the transplant, too. That was a long time ago--he is now thriving and has two lovely daughters. I wish you strength throughout. You are in the best of care and surrounded by love.<BR/><BR/>So, you're an okra girl, too? ALL RIGHT!!! Sweet tea, fried okra (mmm), and corn dip--Let's have a party!! thanks for the recipe, Risalea. I wonder where the dividing line of Rotel is--you've got your red states and blue states, your Rotel and non-Rotel states.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06145475069043933460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-48915690081463085262007-08-01T21:57:00.000-05:002007-08-01T21:57:00.000-05:00Rosalee, I never dreamed of Rotel making youtube! ...Rosalee, I never dreamed of Rotel making youtube! LOL OK, pardon me Chris for hijacking your blog temporarily, but I have to share a couple of recipes for the Rotel deprived. They are distributed by Conagra foods, so maybe your grocer could order them for you if you can't find a substitute tomatoes and green chiles mixture, Rosalee and GDA.<BR/><BR/>First--basic cheese dip. Chop up a 1 lb. block of Velveeta and add a can of Rotel. Melt in a large saucepan, stirring often, or make it in your crockpot. I use the light Velveeta. I do variations, such as using a pound of browned ground beef mixed with taco seasoning, Rotel, Velveeta and some fresh salsa. <BR/><BR/>OK, this one is from the Junior League of NLR's cookbook (I'll give us a plug as sales from our book fund our community service projects--www.jlnlr.org). It is one of my faves and will be served at my b'day luau next week. <BR/><BR/>Hot and Spicy Corn Dip: In a microwave safe bowl mix together--1 (16 oz.) can yellow corn, drained; 1 (11 oz.) can white Shoe Peg corn, drained; 8 oz. cream cheese; 1 (10 oz.)Rotel or other type canned tomatoes with green chiles; 1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chiles; chopped jalapeno chiles to taste; garlic salt to taste; cumin to taste; Microwave for 5 min. or until cream cheese is melted, stirring occasionally. Serve warm with Fritos or I like it with Tostito scoops.<BR/><BR/>I definitely promise to bring the Rotel dips to our first Chris Sligh Fan Gathering! : ) Risa<BR/><BR/>p.s. Susan4455, love your idea of us supporting St. Jude's. It is amazing that such a great work came from one man's vision...Danny Thomas. <BR/><BR/>9:51 PMrisaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754939096270758631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-8089919067513863462007-08-01T21:51:00.000-05:002007-08-01T21:51:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.risaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754939096270758631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-85879197155355912712007-08-01T21:47:00.000-05:002007-08-01T21:47:00.000-05:00Susan, yes its the one in memphis. that thing is r...Susan, yes its the one in memphis. that thing is really cool.

I saw him in concert in Las Vegas and actually enjoyed it. Being a 70's child he wasn't considered "cool" but my parents introduced us to a wide range of music growing up and I still have very eclectic tastes in music. My ipod has everything from il divo to Toby Keith to Ryianna and Eminem.

They have a tribute page for people to donate in someones honor as a tribute. They need personal info tho, like the street and email address of the fund Honoree, or a designated Next of Kin contact, that can be notified when gifts are made to the fund.Plus you need to<BR/>Review and agree to a waiver that states you have the permission of the Honoree, or the Honoree’s family, to create the Fund Web Page. You could call it the Fro Patrol Fund ( if Chris doesn't object) or Sligh's sly foxes, or whatever. I don't mean to put you on the spot but I got excited when I looked at their web site. Again, prayers and good wishes to you.<BR/><BR/>http://www.stjudeheroes.org/site/TR?fr_id=1341&pg=tgreetingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898047169630277832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-74123712073561084482007-08-01T20:05:00.000-05:002007-08-01T20:05:00.000-05:00You said it, Risa!

Does your NJ grocery stock Louisianne (which I prefer) or Lipton's Iced Tea Brew (decaf if you prefer)? If not look for Orange Pekoe and Pekoe Black Tea mixes or order some online: (http://www.liptont.com/our_products/black_tea/blk_iced_tea.asp). Bring 1 quart water to a boil and pour over 2 bags (those are the 1 quart each bags - you'll have to read the box to see how many it says per cup). Steep for 5 minutes (I like it strong), remove tea bags and add 3/4 cup sugar (I like it SWEET). Mix till sugar dissolves and add 1 quart cold water. Serve over ice. I add peach nectar for peach tea. Yummo!<BR/><BR/>Surprisingly I heard recently that 80% of Americans drink tea.sopraninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710228761223781327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-82463901296482788892007-08-01T10:18:00.000-05:002007-08-01T10:18:00.000-05:00Ok - totally random - and follows last blog regard...Ok - totally random - and follows last blog regarding the number ten, BUT I was reading scripture and came across this - Lev 27:32, And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, [even] of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
