Louisiana Saturday Night ~ Mel McDaniel

Maybe it’s all the Saints Superbowl madness going on.  Maybe it’s because I know my pal @shamrox7 is living it up in NOLA right now.  Who knows.  But this is the song I woke up to this morning.

Circa 1981, my mom belonged to Columbia House record club.  Yes, youthful ones.  I said records.  (Do you remember this, @SJWestfall and @stewsma?) Mel McDaniel, The Statler Brothers, Alabama, Ronnie Milsap and Reba McEntire got a lot of airtime in my childhood home.  While contemporary country music makes me cringe, hearing these classic country crooners takes me back.  And I like it.
