Standin' on a Rock!

One of my favorite Ozark Mountain Daredevils tunes "Standin' on a Rock" was going through my head as I ran today. These guys came out of Springfield in the early seventies and actually were pretty big in their time. I was just a punk ninth grader when they first came on the scene. We'd hang out side the Hippie clubs downtown listening to the music. Here 'tis-
The 12.7 miles went good! Spring is here! Averaged 9:55's
Felt pretty good, but the cold is still nagging me. I noticed a significant dragging today, but the song stirred strength! I'm standin' on the rock !!Peace!

I actually went to one of their concerts - that's how old I am!
Thanks for the memories : )

I listened and now know why you ran your 12 so fast -- you were trying to get away from the music!! :-D

Just kidding. I wouldn't want a steady diet of it, but I do like bluegrass. Went to Mars Hill College in western NC and they had the Bascomb Lamar Lunsford Bluegrass Festival each year. Great fun!

      This is the most wonderful time of year! I love the heat and humidity! Yet I still get out earlier due to my advanced age! 4.4 miles! ...
