I'm Rick McCann behind the microphone right here at the Blu-ray Media Studios and uh well that was a little Johnny Cad. Yes, man, that man had a lot of great things, but that was probably one of the all-time biggest and uh certainly very popular with uh maybe a few people that may have very related to that song, but uh we love Johnny and uh I'm sure that he'll he'll remain a favorite throughout history. And uh if you've been living here for a while, you know there's a lot of rainy things that happened in July the 4th of the game. We got a lot of fortune things happening through all the county and the rest of the golf coat and tell you about some of that today play a lot of great music for you to get you the latest extended weather forecast for that you're not caught outside in a bad storm.

Uh as we used to say back in the day, we're gonna spend some records, and uh we'll be back here in just a few moments.
SPEAKER_05I know I'm out. Another ball cap on a bar stool underneath the PDR. Saying everything out of the moon to get you in a motion. Probably heard it all thousand times, but it ain't what it looks like. Let me tell you what it looks like. You look like we're on a sunset, and you can crash on me on that. You look like my name, too. What I'm doing for the rest of my life, cuz you look like I'm the looking, look for the hard truth. Is that this? I don't turn it into. You look like I'm gonna wind up missing you. I gotta take baby out of bed. The kind of boy your daddy never wanted you to go and fall in love with. The kind of boys probably done with the dumb shit. I bet you heard the stories. Can't say I'm fair to it, boy. I'm trying to pay your homie. Now I am looking back. You're something you can pray for me. You can cry from me on. You little crack on it to be a little more full of the club and the heart, you please I don't turn it a few. You look like I'm gonna wander missing. Why don't you see me?
SPEAKER_02I was raised on sweet tea and sunfaded dreams, dust on my boots, and a bible on my knees.
SPEAKER_05Daddy built this house with careless hands. Mama filled it with fate, not fancy plans. We ain't got much, but it's always been enough Where the porch swing creaks and the corn grows up Lightning bugs and distant trains Ain't no mention, but I never train For back porch, trains the firefly knives, bare feet dancing in the porch light, Oskier laughed, went to hold Crickets singing soft and low. Yeah, we talk to the stars when the moon feels near And the third feel better than right here With the water and a lot of heat Backforge breaks wildly Backforge breaks, they got me through the sick out with a wild heart grim Kiss that boy on the bar again broke the dirt on me more than the door and I don't do my four life for the four night and the Lord Back Porge Back porch praise every single year. And I know how hard it is to be So if you feel the things of the wrong We don't have to carry on But stand wonder Why do we have to be all by Why do you have to feel one way or the other? Why does it have to be black or why we have to hurt one to the Why? Why does it have to be that with me? I know I could be all We both know there's not ways to belong There's no way to get off I do fight Why is it that to be both to be one way of death Why does it have to be back on the right to do one way to have to be back all right? Why does it have to be back?
unknownWhat can it be? Why does it have to be wrong?
SPEAKER_16Does your company, church, business, or school need to get your employees certified in first aid CPR and saving a life? Well guess what? Armored jackets here on the golf code. They will bring the dream to you every year.
SPEAKER_17In my Christian country home, I learned to play the flat top on them good old gospel songs. Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line, where a boy can make a living playing guitar late at nights. Had to learn about the ladies, too young to understand why the young girls fall in love with the boys and the pair. When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away to some other guitar picker and some other late-night place. Yeah, held on to my music. Let the ladies walk away. Took my songs and dreams to Nashville, then I moved on to LA, up to New York City, all across the USA. I've lost so much of me, but there's nothing to say. What keeps me going? I don't really know. Can't be the money. Lord knows I'm always broke. Could it be the satisfaction of being understood? When the people really love you, and let you know when it's good. So I'll speak my southern English as natural as I please. I'm in the heart of Dixie. Dixie's in the heart of me. Some day when I may be when luck will find away. Somewhere I want to look out and mountain. I forgot.
SPEAKER_04My spare time and my spare key don't go to your front door. And I don't keep that old Jeep in your driveway anymore. And my toothbrush ain't on your bathroom saying, haven't been to your side of town in weeks. You're the reason this thing broke. See, you should already know. It ain't your place to walk up. Say, hey, I ask how I've been at some party. It ain't your place. Did ask my friends when you see them out if I'm seeing somebody. You don't get to call me up, cause you're drunk. 2 a.m. Say you means us now. You don't get to care where I'm waking up these days. It ain't your place. Don't reach out to my family when the birthdays come around. And don't act like you're happy for me when a dream works out. If I met someone, or if I didn't honestly none of your business anyway. It ain't your place to ask my friends when you see them, and don't even see somebody. You don't get to call me them because you're drunk. Too many you don't miss up. Some of you don't get to kill when I'm waking up these days. You make you sleep in a new place to walk up, say hey, that's how I'm in at some party in any old place. When you see a man see somebody You won't be called your trouble, to a say you miss us. You don't get to care when I'm waking up these days.
SPEAKER_15In 2021, five of these deaths were on the Gulf Coast. Rip currents are the number one ruther-related killer at the beaches along the northern Gulf Coast. The number of rip current fatalities on these beaches is more than the fatalities of flooding, tornadoes, lightning, and tropical storms or hurricanes combined. Learn the facts. Before heading out to the beach, check current beach conditions and know what each flag means. Always swim near a lifeguard. Rip currents are narrow currents that flow away from the beach. If you notice you're being pulled away from the beach and are swimming and getting tired, you may be in a rip current. Think of it like a treadmill that you can't turn off. You want to step to the side of it, don't swim against the current, try to swim across it in a direction following the shoreline. Rip currents do not pull you under, but may take you as far out as a football field so people can tire quickly. The most important thing is to stay calm. If you can't escape the current, float or calmly tread water. Wave for help if you can. Rip current strength eventually subsides and may even take you closer to shore. If you see someone caught in a rip current, call 911 or get a lifeguard and throw something that floats towards the victim. For more information, please visit www.visitalbeaches.com slash safety.

SPEAKER_16And once again, I'm here at the new weather dad, the blue ram video studio called the man. Of course, I've got the latest extended weather forecast for you. And I'll be telling you really some good and bad news today's program. Let's start with the good. So we had a pretty nice weekend all in all. It was hot and muggy. Temperatures got up around 90 volts 30 on Sunday. And there wasn't really a whole lot of uh you know rainfall. We got a few sprinkles in some places, but nothing really of any significant. Well, today for the most familiar day, it's gonna be funny and also probably 18% chance of rain possibility throughout the day. Right now the winds are blowing at about 11 to 14 miles per hour coming out of the west. Tomorrow, unfortunately, we will have definite rain. We have the likelihood of uh rain falling most of the day. Temperature tomorrow's gonna be at about 85 degrees, the overnight will be 75, but our chances of rain are at least 70% for Tuesday. Wind coming out of the west southwest at about 12 miles per hour. As we start heading deeper into the week, Wednesday we're gonna experience some thunderstorms. It doesn't look like it's an all-day uh thing, but it does look pretty strong. We're gonna have uh thunderstorms throughout the day on and off. 85 degrees will be the weather during the daytime, the temperature. And 39 will be the overnight. Now, right now it's showing about 81% chance of thunderstorms on and off during the day Wednesday. Wind will be blowing at about 15 miles per hour coming out of the south southwest. Now Thursday looks a little better. We're gonna have some sunshine, but we also have that next of scattered thunderstorms throughout the day. The temperature high will get around 85 once again, and the overnight low will be 78. Now the percentage of scattered thunderstorms for Thursday. There's a 50-50, a 50% chance of those thunderstorms hanging around for Friday! Unfortunately, it doesn't look much better. Yes, we will see from the sunshine. But we have a 55% chance of scattered thunderstorms throughout the day. And as you know, living in this area, that means it could be in Babynette and not in Gulf Shores or vice versa. A lot of these storms come from the west to the east, and sometimes from the Gulf straight You know, uh the 55 corridors straight, you know, from the south to the north. And it really depends on what direction these storms come. Friday 50% chance of scattered thunderstorms. Sunshine will be in the mix, 85 will be the high, 77 the low. And on Saturday, once again, morning thunderstorms, about a 50% chance. Sunshine breaking through later in the afternoon. Once again, the temperature be will be right around 87 degrees. Sunday much more. But also those chances of thunderstorms remained will be the high winds blowing about 15 miles per hour out of the south southwest. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, right now. Again, a mixed bag. Mostly sunny, hardly cloudy, and chances of rain is there. We'll have it all broken down for you in our next radio show. But for now, that is your extended weather forecast from Coastal Alabama Radio.
