Cowboy heads to Texas...

los lonely boys - heaven

In honor of our friend Cowboyangel heading back to Texas, I thought I'd post this video of Los Lonely Boys playing their hit song Heaven.

This evening, Tom Ashbrook on On-Point interviewed the band (the Garza brothers) on their music and on "Texican" pride. He has them playing a great acoustic version of Heaven too.

Hi Jeff. I'd listen, but it takes my dial-up connection sooooo long to load these YouTube clips ... maybe you could hum it for me instead? :-)

Hi Crystal,

Hum it? Nah, I've got lousy pitch. :-) Sorry about that, I keep forgetting that Crys's system is broadband-challenged... Do we need to start a Crystal system-upgrade fund?

You're not familiar with this song? It was a big hit a year or two ago. Does the radio interview go as slowly over dial-up as a video? Here are a couple of short clips off of Amazon:

RealPlayer

Window Media

Been very busy lately. Intend to get better at cathing up with you all on your sites soon.

Peace

Jeff,

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. Thanks for the thought. Funny, I was recently looking at a Los Lonely Boys CD, wondering if I should check it out. I didn't, but now I will. One thing, I couldn't figure out how to access the interview - what am I missing? I'd like to know more about them. I see they're from San Agnelo, but the video looks like it was definitely shot in New Mexico.

I'm putting together a "Texas" CD for myself - maybe they'll have something I can include!

Hi William,

Welcome back. Hope you had a nice trip home. If you go to the interview page, just click on the hot spot for either WINDOWS or REAL.

Also, if you go to the link Sacred by Los Lonely Boys, it will take you to Amazon, where there is a video of one of their newer songs.

Jeff, if you don't reappear before Thanksgiving, I wish you and your family a happy one :-)

Jeff said...

You too, Crystal! Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
