A Sense of Doubt blog post #4179 - "Make Me a Poster from an Old Rodeo" New Mix for Music Monday July 27, 2026

My original "Angel from Montgomery" mix came up in my You Tube queue as playlists often do either because a video is removed or someone actually listens to it.

I decided it was time to do a second version of that mix with more country songs written and/or sung by women.

It's not an all country mix, but it does feature more country songs.

When I added Blondie's "Heart of Glass," the song really seemed to fit in the flow and then "Brass in Pocket" seemed a natural follow up.

After initial drafts, I added "Delta Dawn" (how could I have forgotten to add it in the first draft?) and then moved up Chicago's "You're my Inspiration" and with the fade out, the transition to "Heart of Glass" still works as well as it did when Blondie followed Donna Fargo or even in the first draft "Blue Bayou."

There's 28 songs because Dad died on Aug. 28th. And it's nearly August.

I might argue that "Angel from Montgomery" is one of the all time great songs, somewhere in a top 100.

The original mix and the post that went with it is reprinted below.

Enjoy!

Thanks for tuning in.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #3668 - SoD Reprint 2106 - To Believe in this Living is just a Hard Way to Go - Musical Monday on Tuesday 

I rarely publish music posts on days other than Mondays,  but I am in reprint mode. I am probably posting another one tomorrow.

One benefit of reprinting a Music Monday post is that I get to edit the mix for hidden or unavailable videos. I replaced one in this mix, but it was just a different version of the same song and same showing from TV.

When I access my playlists on YOU TUBE via a PC, I can only see playlists in alphabetic mode up to M with some playlists excluded because YOU TUBE always wants to hide them from me.

When I asked YOU TUBE to fix the problem, as I PAY for Premium, they told me it was my problem with "cookies" (bullshit) even though I looked at my playlist on multiple machines and different browsers. 

This original post caught my attention because of the cover image (AWESOME). Still, true when it comes to the United States' isolation policies.

Also, this was a mix that had become buried that I constructed after John Prine's death.

It's a good mix though the songs are not all unified around the John Prine theme with peers or similar music or artists. But women in music is a unifying factor.

I love that I have Sergio Mendez's "Fool on the Hill" in this mix. I should build a whole mix around that song.

FOOL ON THE HILL seems an apt theme for the person who somehow has been elected and set our country on fire.

Still reprints.

My be in reprint mode for at least another week or more.

Thanks for tuning in.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2106 - Believing in this living is just a hard way to go - Musical Monday 2011.23

LOW POWER MODE: I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal. Thanks for reading.

INAUGURATION COUNTDOWN

58 DAYS to inauguration

Though this mix does not start with Lucy Dacus or Phoebe Bridgers -- artists I have discovered because of my step-daughter -- the core of the mix focuses on music by them. The main theme and title comes from John Prine's "Angel From Montgomery" as sang by Bonnie Raitt and in the end of the mix Bonnie Raitt and Ruthie Foster.

I am proud of how this mix came together. There's glue in between the Dacus and Bridgers tracks. I had lots of African-American artists, but I moved those out for a future mix. The new Weller came out when I made this mix, so I added a couple from that effort. I "found" some via You Tube serendipitously. And I added new faves like Japanese Breakfast, Daft Punk, and Sevdaliza with other older faves like Sinead O'Connor and Lucius. I also bookended the whole thing with "Angel From Montgomery," which feels good.

The songs story is really not about fighting Covid-19 and the heroism and sacrifice of the healthcare workers on the front lines, women featured here.

We are all getting pandemic fatigue, but we must remain strong, support those in healthcare, and observe public health guidelines because "to believe in this living is just a hard way to go."

Thanks for tuning in today.

ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY

I am an old woman named after my mother

My old man is another child that's grown old

If dreams were lightning, thunder were desire

This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery

Make me a poster of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing that I can hold on to

To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl, well, I had me a cowboy

He weren't much to look at, just a free rambling man

But that was a long time and no matter how I try

The years just flow by like a broken down dam

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery

Make me a poster of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing that I can hold on to

To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzing

And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today

How the hell can a person go to work in the morning

And come home in the evening and have nothing to say?

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery

Make me a poster of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing that I can hold on to

To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death.
