If I would have acted a little quicker I would have gone home with this sunburst edition limited to NC indie stores. Unfortunately, I was late to the game.

Accidental Photo of the Day. Depending upon how they come out, I like to hang on to these every so often.

It doesn’t get much better than this on a chilly autumn night

It doesn’t get much better than this on a chilly autumn night
This isn’t to say I never heard, “Turn that shit down!” I did but there was no banning of music. My Dad loved country but said Waylon & Willie were “punk country,” not said in a mean spirited way. This calendar hung on my bedroom door for years without a word ever being said. They were cool.

I heard the news today, oh boy…
45 years ago I was 18, attending my first year of college. I heard the initial report on WQDR before drifting off to sleep. The next morning I woke up to my Dad standing in the doorway of my bedroom confirming the news. The rest of the day remains a blur.

Since I was able to read Cameron Crowe’s The Uncool in two weeks I believe my level of reading might be back up to where it once was so I grabbed these previously unread books out of storage.

“The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters
But no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl…”
Everything’s ok. This song just came to mind while waiting for a loved one to have a standard procedure done.

This year’s @oxfordamerican.bsky.social Southern Music Issue arrived today along w/ their sampler on vinyl. I’ve only missed 1 issue since ‘98, the 1st not to include a CD but playlists instead. The ‘98 issue, which included an alternate take of a new R.E.M. track is how I 1st heard of the magazine.

Mixtape I made around 1987. A few years ago someone tracked down all the songs they could find & posted it on Spotify.

Getting close to wrapping up Stephen Deusner’s book on Drive-By Truckers, Where the Devil Don’t Stay and am preparing to dive headlong into Cameron Crowe’s memoir, The Uncool. I requested it from my local library roughly a week ago. Much to my surprise, it arrived on Monday.
