Is it Live or is it Memorex
I started writing this essay a few months ago but it just never clicked. I’d open it occasionally, read through and attempt to write but it wasn’t any fun. There were other articles to write that were more pleasant and easier to pen, so I stayed away. Recently though, I realized that the message is

M.M.M. #104 – Yonder Mountain at The Sheridan
Yonder Mountain String Band Sheridan Opera House Telluride, Colorado June 20th, 2008 I sort of got lost in the Archive, hunting some tunes to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Telluride and ran into this exceptional show from 15 years ago.

Garden Fresh Breakfast
One of the things I truly love about this time of year is walking out the back door of the cottage into the cool morning sunshine and harvesting breakfast from the garden. We backed off on the garden this year. It’s a lot of work and we didn’t want to get as tied down as

Two things that have the power to steal my joy; when I’m out there, getting my daily dose of dirt, are heat and wind. That’s why I like to get out early. The coolest and calmest part of the day is the morning. As the angle of the sun increases, the thermometer and anemometer numbers

All Hail Ra
Back around four and half millenniums ago or millennia if you prefer, the supreme deity of the Egyptian pantheon ruled the sky. His name was Ra, which in ancient Egyptian simply meant “sun.” A great god, riding in his barge across the heavens by day, and descending into the underworld at night. Ra was creator;
Dirt Diary #1
I’m pretty sure that the Path to Enlightenment and the Stairway to Heaven aren’t paved in silver and gold or asphalt and concrete. I’m betting they’re covered in dirt. Many of my favorite memories are connected to a dirt road. Even though I grew up during the build out of Eisenhower’s Interstate Highway dream, it
