There’s no words in this, but I’ve personally seen about half the people on this email list dance to this song after a […]
It’s Monday, the people are furloughed, but I want some semblance of routine so HERE WE GO Robert Earl Keen – Feelin’ Good Again Starting us off is the man from Houston, a 2012 inductee into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame, a 2019 inductee into the Texas Cowboys Hall of Fame, and many more nonsensical […]
What a week that was. Everyone do a pat down. Legs still there? Head screwed on? Sniffer still sniffing? I think…I think we’re gonna make it. Cool, now for the quarantunes: Willie Nelson – On the Road Again A timeless tune of impermanence and transience. These corona days are pretty weird, and if you don’t get outside and […]

It’s Monday, it’s snowing, it’s time to listen to some music. I’m With Her – Hear Jerusalem Moan (Greyfox Festival 2019) I’m a big fan of the Greyfox festival for two reasons. 1) They record almost everything and put it on YouTube. Love that. 2) Because we get some pretty awesome people playing together. I’m With Her […]

Welcome back, and welcome to Thursday. Thursday starts with a T and so do the words “Train” and “Trucks”, two of the very best things to write songs about. So without further adieu, train ‘n truck Thursday…. Arlo Guthrie – City of New Orleans From America’s royal family of sticking a thumb in the air, Arlo […]
Good day, weary travelers. Come, peruse my wares…. Tyler Childers (Live) We’re starting the day off with the maddog Tyler Childers. He wasn’t quite as big here as he is now, and you’d have to pay a pretty penny nowadays to see him play on the front porch of a shack to 40 people in lawnchairs. […]
