It was always sort of like trying to identify cars. I could tell a mustang, but that was only because I had one. The rest were all just cars. Or songs. <br /><br />Ash, Of course it was because you requested it!Of course it was!Dorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421672075192660319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-25464295872075153532011-08-12T09:57:09.177-04:002011-08-12T09:57:09.177-04:00Great link!

He had a "song suggestion" box. They would pull one to do. We loved "I walked the line" - my dad used to play it all the time on car drives. So we wrote that song down. When Johnny did it as an encore, I was CONVINCED it was because of OUR request. I felt so responsible for *everyone* hearing it at that concert. I didn't understand it was one of his biggest hits and he had to do it anyway and that he probably hadn't seen our note. In my head, it's still because of that note, though. :)Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05173314814853526837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-24707859242873366462011-08-12T09:52:49.632-04:002011-08-12T09:52:49.632-04:00My youngest has Shel on his ipod. :) I often give ...My youngest has Shel on his ipod. :) I often give his books as baby gifts - the ones with that include CDs.
