Like much of this country, I am bracing for the heat we’re expecting today. I don’t have much to say this morning. Just want to veg out a bit. Read some things I haven’t been able to get to. Listen to some music I haven;t heard in a long time. Look at some photos.
You know, just avoid the sun and stay cool.
So, I am going to get at it. Here’s a little music for this steamy Sunday. It’s a song from Dwight Yoakam, someone whose songwriting and performance seldom disappoints. He holds a unique niche in American music, country but outside the popular genre. He did an acoustic album of his greatest hits all the way back in 2000 that’s a wonderful piece of work. Hearing the songs sung with only a stark guitar accompaniment really emphasizes the structure and strength of the compositions. This song, Throughout All Time, is from that CD. I am throwing in A thousand Miles From Nowhere from the same CD just for good measure.
I am including an image above from my West End show that I think fits nicely with this song. It’s one of my Baucis and Philemon pieces called Island of Bliss.
Have a good Sunday.
You were smarter than I was. I spent all Sunday out in the heat at a couple of nature preserves in east Texas, and I’m just now recovering. I wasn’t a thousand miles from nowhere, but I might as well have been; no one else was out there dripping sweat. But, it was a rewarding trip.
The ability to be out there alone might be one of the only benefits of that kind of heat. Glad you had a rewarding trip. I am sure you will have some great photos to share!
