So this morning’s music comes from Yuseu Islam …formerly Cat Stevens and it’s his verson of the Christian hymn “Morning Has Broken”. Like Joni Mitchell’s music this song has an important place in my heart because it was the processional at our wedding! Cat Stevens converted to Islam and changed his name in December of [...]
So last night on the way home from work at Target, I had a blues shuffle on the iPod that started with a smokin’ track “Bug Out” from Victor Wainwright’s album Piana from Savannah So here’s some morning music from Victor and the Wildroots from the album Beale Street to the Bayou “Big Dog Runnin’”
One of my favorite rock bands was Ten Years After. My favorite albums were the early one’s like Undead. Here’s an early version of Woke Up This Morning, which later appeared on their album SSH. It’s fun jus to watch Leo Lyons play bass!!
This Jack Williams song to hs mother, may not be a morning song only, but it does create that “sense of place”…”okra gets me vote, when it slides down my throat”……where does that happen?…. not the Hamptons!
So thinking about morning music this AM, this Joni Mitchell song popped into my head! Michelle Mercer in her book points out Mitchell’s ability paint vivid pictures in her music, and she does it well in this song. And who else would use a line like “we’ll talk in present tenses”!

So before Jerry Jeff moved to Austin and became an outlaw, he was a folkie in New York and wrote some beautiful songs like this one, “Morning Song to Sally”. One of my favorites and evidently one of Nanci Griffith’s too! and while I was searching for Jerry Jeff’s Mr Bojangles, I came across this [...]
neorenaissance: Guest Post By Paul Douglas :A Message From A Republican Meteorologist On Climate Change This post should be required reading by every climate denier! And while this song was written when those rivers were catching on fire……I think it still is appropriate! R.I.P. Earl Scruggs, you meant so much to so many!!
So last night “Discretion” was not the better part of valor, and in spite of the “Not as bad as the day before” pain in my left leg I ran. After the first mile, my decison was that I would just run slower and that helped I made it to the second mile and the [...]
Ok so last night I was bummed! I started to run and the twing that has been at the top of my left leg during the last few runs was worse. As I started, I almost crumbled to the ground! Anyway I tried a couple more times to start and then determining that descretion is [...]
As I was coming home from Target last night, I was listening to tracks and bands I hadn’t listened to in a while, and thought of these guys;The .357 String Band and as I listened I thought that their “Streetgrass” brand of music would be perfect for the morning!!
