Musical Selection: Music about the water.

Does everything need to intersect in a person's life? Maybe not.

But music does anyhow.
​
When I was a young equestrian, I always kept my ears open for horsey music. I knew enough to hide a shameful soft-spot for Michael Martin Murphy's Wildfire. 

(I know, I know <shakes head wearily> oy vey.)

That interest in topical music has never really gone away. I'll listen to the whole version of Doc Watson's The Tennessee Stud every time, because it still gets me right in the bread-basket.  

The songs on my equine playlist had to be about an actual horse ("Horse with No Name" and "Mustang Sally" for instance, don't count.)

​My list includes that sweetest of lullabies, All the Pretty Horses.

The minstrel-tradition ear-worm Camptown Racetrack. 

That kicking, dreamy Black Horse in a Cherry Tree.

And of course, throw-back college tune Bring on the Dancing Horses.    

When I moved to Florida, I exchanged horses for boats. Yet the music continues to want to intersect...

Hence, Wooden Ships by CSN, Sail Away by David Gray, Sail On Sailor by Beach Boy, Land Ho! by The Doors.

And the inevitable –– so customizable! –– Drunken Sailor. ​

But wait, as the huckster used to insist, there's more!

Fair winds and following seas, y'all.
