t's been a while since I posted any of the interesting searches that happen here. Busy writing two books and editing another for a friend, writing new music, performing it in public for the first time, and generally trying to jump onto the way-too-fast merrygoround.
- Tahitian skies—Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler; one of my favorite recordings ever. Look; there's a picture of it just to the right. Go buy it now!
- a water song—Water Song by Hot Tuna, commented on long ago
- e street bands pianist—the marvelously talented Roy Bittan
- hair was perfect—a line from Werewolves of London by the late multifarious Warren Zevon

After 46 Years It's Still Simple

orty-six years into his music career Van Morrison is still one of the best songwriters and performers alive. Keep It Simple should prove interesting.
His official website has information about the album including audio clips.
Reviews abound: Rolling Stone, relix and KansasCity.com are just a few.
It's hard for me to believe it's been 5 years and 5 months since I last wrote about the effect Van's music has on me. Dylan's been here seven times; five for Yes. No, Sigmund, I don't think it means anything.

lease put your seat trays up and raise your seats to their upright position: it's time, once again, for over 1,000 lunatics to gather at FAWM and try to write 14 songs in 28 days. Well, being a leap year and all, we'll each try to add a collaboration, making it 14.5 songs in 29 days.
Won't be around much during February, since it's also shaping up to be the biggest business month of the past nine.
Read all about the February Album Writing Month at the website, and spread the word, if you so desire, with this here PDF with a bit of pertinent information.
