Greetings to all my JMDL friends. Today in Minnesota/Wisconsin it was 46 fucking degrees warm!!!!! So I proceeded to get some more outside chores done...like wrapping the trunks of my apple trees so the rabbits will not gnaw on them as they did last year.
Last night I spent a lovely night with no people company. Lily the Golden Retriever, Hootie the Welsh Terrier and I hunkered down in front of a glowing fire...they with a bone and I with a great cup of coffee. I was able to listen to Joni's Turbulent Indigo and was once again struck by how much Joni sees into life when I listened to Borderline. My friend Riana called and we listened to Borderline together. She told me she met Elvis Costello many times when he lived in Minneapolis! I did not even know he lived there. Anyway...she worked in a store called Rag Stock..where we all went for recycled clothes when we were young hippies..and she said he came in there all the time. So I asked her if she had ever heard Nick Lowe? She had not. We then talked about Joni and Mollie O'Brien. I bought Mollie's new CD entitled "Things I Gave Away" and just love her song "Train Time" and "When I've Got The Moon". The latter song really spoke to me...and I could also hear our Kate Bennett performing these songs and doing them great justice. Well, I am off to feed the dawgs and put some dinner into the oven...then to practice my music. Peace.......Sharon NP: Nick Lowe's "Failed Christian" from Dig My Mood
