And those who expected lightning and thunder
Are disappointed.
And those who expected signs and archangels’ trumps
Do not believe it is happening now.
As long as the sun and the moon are above,
As long as the bumblebee visits a rose,
As long as rosy infants are born
No one believes it is…

Tried my hand at jam-making this week. The results were very tasty, if I do say so myself.
I’ve been listening to a lot of James McMurtry recently, this song in particular. One of those refrains that stops you right in your tracks.
Holding back the flood, just don't do no good
You can't unclench your teeth, to howl the way you should
so you curl your lips around the taste of tears and hollow sounds
that no one owns but you, no one owns but you
Are any of these fonts your favorite? Please don’t say it’s Papyrus.
This song felt like the equivalent of a good shot of whiskey this morning.
an anonymous request for Minnesota is next. I hope sometime soon I can make it up to lake superior I hear great things
I’m loving this state bird, tree, flower series that Lucy Engelman. Of course, this Minnesota one only makes me love it more.
Well, I didn’t do anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s this year beside wear a green sweater to work. I did, however, have this song stuck in my head for the entire weekend.
This cover was the first song of the encore at the Avett Brothers show Saturday. It and the original has been getting a lot of airtime in my itunes the last few days and has made an excellent soundtrack to this very springlike weather we’ve been having.
The concert was unspeakably good. There was no opener; they played a two and a half hour set pulling material from the whole span of their career. I had the biggest, stupidest grin plastered across my face the entire time. The whole night felt unreal, almost like it didn’t really happen. (Although, the fever I was fighting through probably had a lot to do with that)
