OK OK So I missed a day again. Some days there's just nothing to say. Today however....
The morning is overcast but how can you be down when accompanied on your daily walk by Joan Baez? Arlo Guthrie, Robert Earl Keene and U. Utah Phillips The Golden Voice of the Great Southwest. Especially U. Utah singing No Round Trip Ticket about the last run of the Wabash Cannon Ball. All outstanding performers but when combined with music that transcends even them... Nirvana. Guitars, fiddles, mandolins and Dobros. Put them together with a voice that just flows over the music and you've got Country music. Nashville songwriter once defined Country music as "Three chords and the truth". How can you not feel good when Arlo sings "Alice's Restaurant" with his tale of his exploits with the draft board?
I could go on and on but then I'd only get emotional. But the music was good this morning and appreciated more than most days for some reason.
Secular music from Heaven is proof that we're all on this flight together.
