S Is For

S is for stuff - Saturday night inspired stuff - sadness for a friend that has had too many losses among her pack in recent months - one of her special living and fuzzing ones is named for this S - another S has spent a few days in this town - that should be sufficient S's - but of course, I could keep 'em coming and SHARING!










Cheers with a lit candle for those across The Rainbow Bridge -

R Is For

R is for the revolution going on Egypt - I've seen some posts drawing in Phil Ochs works -



And here is a short one which includes the master himself -



I spent the night enjoying my latest purchases from Bright Eyes, Drive-By Truckers, and iron and wine - three VERY nice releases -

And they were enjoyed with a very pleasant Now and Zen Alsacian White - and how cool/khool the post I picked was on Khyra's and my Gotcha Day - I paid a bit more than THAT in PA but I would surely buy it again - it has some of my favourite white grapes -

Right now this is playing - I've shared it before but is is too awesome not to share again - because it is one of THOSE feelings -




Another work week has concluded - I'm enjoying the gig very much - the schedule suits me as I'm really enjoying the four day aspect -

So here's to many more days at ES3 - for many reasons!

Cheers!

B Is For

B is for Bread - yes, I can hear the groans from around the world - but it is true -

I've been working on trying to post - I even have ideas scribbled on the scratch paper next to the laptop - and some links saved in notepad document but just didn't find the time or inspiration -

But as I travelled to Hagerstown Sunday morning I heard a Bread song that made me go yes: B will be for Bread on a post -

I know if I go up to my old bedroom here and peruse the albums in the crates in the corner I'll find more than a few Bread albums - and I do have this one on CD - and as I pulled up the link from Amazon I found myself shaking my head at the songs - such memories from those years for me -

This isn't the one I heard on XPN Sunday morning but it is the first one to catch my eye when venturing to YouTube for some Bread songs to share - the title has quite some meaning to me -










THIS is the one they played that made me decide to post some Bread - oh how true these words were and are -



Of course, there is this harder edged Bread song - love it!



I had to include this David Gates song - it was the theme song to a favourite Neil Simon play inspired movie - I had it on 45 and played it and played it and played it -




I'll admit I watched The Grammys Sunday night - I really kind of had them on in the background but did enjoy some of it - and although this is not a B artist, I just had to include it here - being Valentines Day and all - I think I've shared it here before but it is surely one of those songs we've all thought about and some point - and if you say you haven't, I think you are fibbing -



This week should find my pre-ordered copy of another B - Bright Eyes - in my mailbox - I'm looking forward to it since it sounds more like his release that I played over and over after a special friend burned a copy for me - from there, my music collection filled with Bright Eyes or Conor Oberst - with this one being another one of THOSE songs that I'll never tire of - because it is so the truth - I've shared it before but I just need to do it again - with thanks to my guitar man -



I am still excited about my Lucinda Williams pre-order due next month - especially since I saw on her FB page if I sent proof of a pre-order I would receive two unreleased tracks - I sent off my Amazon confirmation and got an email with the details!

As for the job, it is going well - I so enjoy the four day schedule - and the awesome commute - I mean most evenings I'm home in TEN minutes!

Thanks again for all the support during those long long months when I really began to doubt if I would ever work again -

BTW, the wine for this woman tonight was this past favourite - nice to see it is still a good drink - it made up for Saturday night's disappointing Tempranillo -

Cheers!

P.S. Okay - another B - just had to include this OTHER B - another guilty pleasure from that time period of the mid 70's -



Now I am done!
