Cowbells: Ain't Just for Farms Anymore












This past week I was in Florida on a business trip which unfortunately took about 8 long hours to return home. After a long layover in Houston Bush-Int'l, a plane delay to replace a sensor, which then got further delayed while the maintenance crew took cover from a torrential Texas-style thunder and lightning storm, a near husband-wife "you are on my last nerve" type of argument, the plane took off a mere 33 word search puzzles and an hour after scheduled departure.

By the time I was in bed and had cooled down from the heat of the trip home, it was 2am. Needless to say Saturday needed to be a nice happy day to get things done and listen to the radio. Wow, I got more than I bargained for. On 96 Rock it is Cowbell Songlist Weekend with the best cowbell songs selected and played at the top of the hours. So I started thinking about cowbells and what song would feature Bessie's bell. The only song I could come up with was Honky Tonk Women.

So, a little research on the internet and some Facebook petitioning was in order and here's what I foun
