“I’m No Stranger To The Rain” One of Jonathan’s friends, Lane, had came by the house. (Lane is the guy that had asked me for a copy of his favorite song by Jonathan) ‘Take The Long Way Home.’ At the time I was still looking for the song he wanted. He came by the house and I gave him a copy of another of Jonathan’s performances. Lane asked me to make a copy of a music c.d. he had. He told me Jonathan had recently made it for him and he was concerned it would get scratched before he could make a copy. Jonathan had told Lane it was a list of his favorite songs. On the c.d., he wrote “I’m No Stranger To The Rain.” I made Lane several copies and I scanned the c.d. so I would have Jonathan’s writing. Listening to the c.d., I discovered that all those songs were songs I had been playing for him for years. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jim Croce’, Jimmy Buffett, George Strait, Garth Brooks, and most prominent, Keith Whitley; they were all there. When Jonathan was little, he would go to sleep every night listening to Keith Whitley’s Greatest Hits. I can’t thank Lane enough. I would never have known that all of my old songs were now Jonathan’s favorites. Jonathan found a way to make me smile and cry at the same time, even after he is gone. The songs are copyrighted. Still, I will put them up for a while, until I get in trouble. If they make me take them down, I will leave the list up, so you, too, will know the songs on Jonathan’s list. Thank You Here are Jonathan's Favorite Songs:
Bonus Songs: These songs were not on Jonathan's c.d., but they were some of his favorites to play for people. What Might have Been (Little Texas) Take The Long Way Home (John Schneider) Operator (Jim Croce) Here are a few songs I listen to when I think about Jonathan. {Inspirational}
