Thanksgiving in Tennesee! So good the album comes out before we go. The boys are already fighting over who is going to sit where who is going to listen to what or watch what. I was able to be the music dictator when they were young and thought dad's music was still cool.
We all agreed to burn two CD's each for the trip. Ah a 160 minutes of Dad music; joni, toad the wet (back together), neil or crowded, Peter the great up, Diana crawl towards me, etc. And 160 minutes of punk and 160 minutes of classic alternative scary chic music and 160 minutes of glam country (if I hear a dixie landsliding chick one more time). I was so looking forward what might be the last road trip together that I actually compromised. Now if I can just figure out away to sleep while the others drive and listen. the joni files have been great to listen too. I had another favorite singer songwriter who died a few years back. " we don't know what we got till it's gone". I would give anything if Rich would have made an album like this. I don't critique to much, different song make different moods. I remember hearing Both Sides Now before it was released on Jody Denberg's show on KGSR in Austin (he did a great job on her birthday too) the Sunday night before it was released I remember sitting in my car in the drive way when the song came on. He had dedicated the song to Wally before playing it. The emotion, I had not wept like that in years. Somewhere on this album each song will find the right place at the right time and each moment will be serendipitous. One of my favorite glovearms is "Just Ice" she tells stories before songs that fill in the framework of the picture. How she tuned the guitar to ocean sounds for one and her arguement with her mother for another. Basically the rest of the story. Travelogue will be good. It will hit just when I will need it.... Peace, Craig PS: Sanity with three teenage boys in a SUV for 16 hours now that is corned beef re hash.
