Do Yourself A Favor

Find out where this man is playing music, go there, listen, buy his records, enjoy.

It is pretty rare for a band to move me as much as Nathaniel Rateliff and the Wheel do. I'm always left breathless and nearly in tears at their shows due to the pure emotion that drips from their songs, their vocal harmonies are unlike anything from these parts, and they just seem like a group of down to earth musicians.

Go here. Listen now.

They played in Fort Collins last night at one of our beloved venues and I was yet again, not disappointed.

In other news, I ordered this book and just began reading it yesterday. Lets just say that my stomach hates me most days and I'm pretty dang sick of it. I'm currently researching my options and hope to find some solutions.

Way Behind...

Life is overwhelming full of music, lots of gigs and practicing. I'm entirely too busy lately. I miss many things, but so many other good things are swiftly on their way.

Some things I miss.....

Late mornings spent drinking copious amounts of caffeine and listening to records.

Taking more photos.

More quite time.

Summer...for once I'm ready for warm weather, late nights, and road trips.

Style School. Lovely Style School. I am soooooooo behind. I really want to sew again.

But, alas, good things are on there way. Good changes. Ones that I can't quite express here yet, but needless to say, I'm stoked. (And, no mom, I'm not pregnant. ) :)

And on another side note...

We finally sent off our taxes and we are getting back far more than we bargained for. I believe my goal of being debt free by the time the hubby graduates college is on the horizon. And...we are currently drooling over one of these puppies.... *sigh*

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

I apologize for my great absence. Good things are on their way. Good goals for the coming year. Here is something to keep you entertained until I have another spare moment.

Sunday, I took part in a show that was purely enjoyable. Some of my friends, also known as The Riflemen, played a reunion show. Their keyboard player was out of town, so I got to play. It was very fun. Good music, good people, good beer.

More posts to come, including some of my goals for 2010 and some updates from the holidays.

Also, can my hair grow now please? This is the goal. *Sigh.

She's splendid.

And I love this....
