when that happens i feel overwhelmed. so i'll give you the short version - life is juicy and i feel grateful for these moments and days (even in this extreme heat that brings out the 'crabbys' in me). i'm busy trying to keep myself on task getting for for teaching and my trip next thursday to Phoenix for ArtUnraveled. i do have photos to share, art to share, and news to share, soon - very soon, but not today. here are 2 for today:
what my pallet knife saw last friday
revisiting the music of these folks who have been one of my favorite groups for 20+ years. walter and i even had the extreme pleasure of hearing them in concert once when they came to seattle.
my very first encounter with them was so many years ago when our old clock radio went off early one morning, this song was playing on NPR, and wafted into my shadowy dreamworld, haunting and enchanting, finding it's place there like it was the missing piece i had been searching for my entire life. i fell in deep love with each and every note and candence and have remained in love ever since.
more soon...
Oh Gosh! I remember them! I haven't thought about them for years but I always liked their music too. Thanks for the links and thanks for the memories. Now I have to go listen to some more.

Oh wow...when I clicked on your "this song", I couldn't believe it. This song is one of my most favorite songs in the entire world. It truly seeps into my soul and sits with me every time I listen to it, and I've never come across another person who even knows of it. I haven't visited your beautiful blog in a while...I couldn't help but comment on the song, hope you don't mind. (formerly Fledgling Poet)
