Paul's a bluesman, and a damned good one too .

I had just finished a week of frustration, so I pulled up one of my favorite songs of his, It’s a Good Day To Kick Somebody’s Ass. Somehow, it just seemed appropriate after I got finished earlier today, and it always makes me smile. Then this song came up on my feed with the other. Curious, I decided to listen and find out what it was about. When he started talking about his friend that he had just lost, I immediately began thinking of all my friends who have passed since we graduated high school back in 1972, and I started getting all misty eyed, remembering how, about a month ago, my high school sweetheart called to tell me that one of her friends from our graduating class had just died. They had been pretty close and she just needed to talk with someone who knew her friend and could understand her sadness. But then when he started singing about taking his mom fishing, and how they had a good time even if if she didn’t know who he was, I absolutely broke down, remembering the last few years I was blessed to have with my mom before she passed away a year and a half ago. After I calmed down, I realized that maybe I needed that cry more than I needed the laugh I got from the other song. I love all of Mr. Thorn’s rowdy and funny songs, but this is one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs I’ve heard in a long time. I’m going to forward it to my three siblings and to my friends. And I just hope that the words mean as much to them as they do to me.

Music can be a healing power, and Paul always speaks from his heart, whether it be humorous or heart wrenching. I was lucky to have my 88 year old mother sitting next to me at this show. She enjoyed it as much as I did.

@ That must have been a magical moment with your mom. All evening since I first heard the song, I have been remembering fond memories of my past with my mom. I was blessed with almost 70 years with her before she passed away at the age of 91. After my tough week, hearing his song and having it stir up so many fond memories was almost something of a God Wink. I just wish he could read my comment and know how much he helped me today, someone who he will probably never meet, but who was so touched by his words and music.
