Souls ain’t born, souls don’t die
Soul ain’t made of earth, ain’t made of water, ain’t made of sky
So, ride the flaming circle, wind the golden reel
And roll on brother, in the wheel inside the wheel

Merry Christmas
I just got this in an email from James Taylor… I though I would pass it on.
Kacey Musgraves – Merry Go ‘Round
Thank-you NPR. Kacey Musgraves – Merry Go ‘Round is one great song. I heard this on the All Songs Considered Podcast I downloaded this morning…Damn, this girl can write…And sing. I will be following what should be a big musical career. Just Saying…Give it a listen. Later: Of course, my daughter …
Morning Music For A June Thursday…
The house is empty…Crank the volume up… Just a bit. Listen to more Cowboy Junkies at Wolfgang’s Vault. I have loved Wolfgang’s Vault since I discovered it many years ago…Go check out their music. Then read their story.
The Wheel Rolls Around Again
There was a time not too many years back when the music never stopped playing in what ever room I was in. Then for a long time it was podcasts that played all day long. Then I began to notice that the predominate theme of the podcasts were all politics… …
My Version of the Voice – Mary Gauthier
Ever since I heard her for the first time…There is some thing in Mary Gauthier‘s voice that I just can’t get enough of. Tania Elizabeth adds another dimension. I have loved her playing since Paste first covered the Duhks way back whenever… I see they’ll be in the Woodlands next month. …
Music From My Misspent Youth
One of my favorite music spots on the web is Wolfgang’s Vault. I get weekly emails from them as they release new concerts from the archives. Today they sent out a link to this concert from 1972. After listening to the music as I read email and scanned the news …
Twas a Late Night
I sat up last night in the field out behind my house. The cold clear sky was unusual for a peak night of a meteor shower. It is more normal to walk out on those nights and see the sky covered with clouds… But last night was beautiful. I had …
For The Sake Of The Song
How I managed to avoid Anderson Fair all these years is beside me. It makes no sense. All of the people I enjoy listening to seemed to grow up into national stars on that stage in that little barn of a building. Yet miss it I did. Now I hold out for …

Every time I hear this lady sing I wonder where I was all her life…Have a listen. I am…Again
St. Louis Birdwatching
The entire (well mostly anyway) reason for our jaunt up the road to the middle of the country wasn’t to see the famous Arch. It wasn’t to celebrate history. It wasn’t even to find a cooler climate, though, that seemed to happen on the one day that mattered. The reason …
Decompressing Toward The New Year…
It’s Sunday morning, two days after Christmas, the shines bright in a robin’s egg sky. It’s cold out…Though, nothing like most of the country. Yesterday’s rain has given way to a still, beautiful morning…At least from the point of view of the window beside me as I sit here at …
Fungi Conundrum
Walking out to the mailbox today I spotted this guy growing at the base of one of our live oaks. I don’t know what caused the strange pattern of growth, but it is definitely different. Another thing I noticed as I wandered down the drive is the first batch of …
