Copenhagen (not in Denmark)



I never really understood the romance behind snuff and/or chewin' tobacco. I suppose you have to have some sort of adversarial relationship with your own teeth to take up the habit for serious. I discovered this Robert Earl Keen song some years back. He and Lyle Lovett went to school together at A&M (I think) or some Texas school or other. They both came out of academia writing strange song. Lovett's "If I Had a Boat" has been featured on this blog before - a stranger song you've never heard even in country music. 

Anyway, it's about a funny incident involving, Copenhagen chewin' tobacco, a date with a girl to the movies, a Coca Cola cup, popcorn and and a terrible mistake. To wit, here's "Copenhagen" in all its stomach churning beauty!

Grace Amazing and Restoring



Peter Hollen is an amazing indie artist and here he gets together with the equally amazing "Home Free" acapella men's quintet for the most Amazing song in the Christian Hymnals.  All they needed was some bagpipes.
