Friday Morning Wake-Up Call

There's no more forced personal reflection than the rip-off-the-covers-toss-you-out-of-bed-and-show-everything wake-up call of being in Wal-Mart and hearing Rodney Atkins sing 'These are My People.

In celebration of my 5-minute family reunion at the neighborhood store around the corner from our house, I'm sharing one of my favorite songs -- all about finding true love at Wal-Mart -- by one of my favorite past-times: 3 Fools on 3 Stools (if you have the chance to see them, go! if you have a choice, their later shows are a little more raucus, and their Annual White Trash Party in October is . . . well, unabashedly trashy).

Here's a link to 3 Fools leader Doc Wesson singing about a minute of 'Discount Love Affair:' http://www.tackytunesfromtexas.com/Audio/TT_02.ram

And for those of you with any talent, here's a link to the lyrics with guitar chords for Discount Love Affair by Doc Wesson

And here's what I sing at Wal-Mart to stay on my wife's good side:

I met her at Walmart
She thought I was real smart
As I walked her down the isle
She looked at me and smiled
And said "You're a good shopper!"
I met her at Walmart
Now she's my sweetheart
No matter what you're lookin' for
You can find it at the superstore.
