9:44 pm

Thus far, a pretty quiet day at Possum Cough. MeeMaw had to work, and after she got home, we went shopping in Bristol and got a bite to eat. It rained like crazy on the way home, but cleared up before we arrived at the farm. This made taking Bonnie out for her afternoon walk much easier.


We'll do a more comprehensive update tomorrow, d.v. For now, enjoy two of my favorite songs...


The first is Gilbert O'Sullivan's "January Git." I was amazed to find this video, since it's one of "Ray's" more obscure songs. The video's not bad, considering that this was done in 1971!


And finally, there's Dwight Yoakam's Buenos Noches From A Lonely Room. Yoakam consistently sounds good live, which cannot be said for too many artists. This is because he can actually do what he does, as opposed to letting studio trickery do it for him. His vibrato is remarkable on his studio recordings, and is pretty good here, too. So here 'tis.


Rest well, loved ones. MeeMaw and I are sending out all kinds of farm love.
