Yep, this one has been cross posted...I can't think of anything better I can blog about then to introduce other people to Levi Lowrey's music..It is that good!
I have a lot of news and pictures on Yacht Promenade to catch up.....Soon come...
Well, anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Levi Lowrey Fan..He has the most soulful voice and touching lyrics I have heard in a long time. Nice and mellow. This is all thanks to my friend Janice, who introduced me to his music awhile ago, and then introduced me to the man.. You know, one of those times where someone says "you have to listen to this music by this singer" and you go "yeah yeah" but brush it off until she actually sits you down and makes you listen?
Yes, this is my good friend Janice...

Well, this is actually Levi Lowrey's STICKER under water she is holding, however, he was up on the boat thanking us I am sure for heaving up and down on Promenade while we were being swept along by a horrendous current!
Can you imagine how happy I was that Levi and Felix composed a song about our time on Promenade and then sung it while I videotaped it while we were sailing under Spinnaker to Puerto Rico from the Virgin Islands? No you can't, because I still have to pinch myself to believe it is true.
Levi co-wrote both Colder Weather and The Wind for Zac Brown Band...amazing talent. Maybe this will be a huge hit and a NEW music Genre, Country/Raeggae! Featuring our very own Felix Scotland, here is "Promenade sidewalk on the sea"
It is going to take a lot longer to sink in... you can see the full size version on
VIMEO here.
I have some favorite songs of Levi's,
(Levi Lowrey website) particularly "the Problem with Freedom" and "Whiskey and WIne" (which you can
BUY by the way here at Itunes!)
Levi is looking forward to doing a new album in the fall, and I have a video I will clean up that I took of him singing a wonderful song of eleven fifty nine...and share at some point.
I found another singer/songwriter I like very much through Levi called Travis Meadows..(
you can see his facebook page here) and love a song of his called "learning how to live alone". (On Itunes too! ) I was singing along with it on the boat last week and mentioned to my friends how much I liked it and was told "well of course you love it, Levi co wrote it and sang chorus and played fiddle on it. Of course. That was no surprise. You can see a version on
Youtube here. You have to wait until about 4 minutes into the video for it to really start..
Yes, we had a great ten days on board the good yacht. I only have about 3000 video's and pictures to go through. My movie for this week is going to be extra special for
yacht promenade 
Spinnaker Sailing on Yacht Promenade[/caption]
It might be that we had to run a spinnaker as there was not much chance of us getting near the main mast as everyone used it for hanging clothes this week!
Clothes Line or Mast on a Sail Boat? You choose![/caption]
Promenade sidewalk on the sea
I woke up at Salt Island
The morning started just the same
As it has the last few days
Just about time to raise some sails.
Promenade, our own sidewalk on the sea
Promenade, I don't care where you take me
A clear blue sky not a cloud in sight
As we sail upon the breeze
If the fish don't bite, I will try again tonight
I hear there's plenty in the sea.
Promenade, our own sidewalk on the sea
Promenade, I don't care where you take me
Cock-tail hour starts at three
Usually lasts til one a.m.
I do my best to stumble back to bed
Can't tell if it's the whiskey or the sea
Promenade, our own sidewalk on the sea
Promenade, I don't care where you take me
Can't tell if it's the whiskey or the sea...
