The impeccable Dolly sounds a little wild, but also totally mesmerizing slowed down from 45 rpm to 33. Looks like I’ll have to spend the rest of the afternoon listening to the record on slow speed.

Ain’t We Got Love
Sweetheart finally asked me the question I’ve always been waiting for: “Will you sing a duet with me at a small mountain-town variety show?”. I said yes. We sang this (which I think might just be our theme song):
And the audience liked it so much that they asked us to sing another! So we sang this:
And then luckily, they didn’t ask us to sing any more because we don’t know any more songs. Yet.
The Kitten Covers
THE KITTEN COVERS. Combining my two favorite things (classic records and cats) with my two favorite memes (sleeveface and icanhascheezburger). Just. Please. How Wonderful. Bless Meags for showing me the way…
Barry Meets Boss
THIS JUST IN: Bruce Springsteen is giving a free concert at an Obama rally in Virginia– swing state swing in my hometown-stomps of Charlottesville! Epic Awesomeness. TODAY. 2pm. And, luckily, it’s the 47% that will probably be free at 2pm on a weekday. If you’re down there GO for me. Now: we just need to get Bocephus and/or David Allen Coe on board and we’ve got Virginia’s delicate demographic balance covered. Which is why: WILLIE NELSON HERE’S LOOKING AT YOU.

Fingers Stained Red
Sweet. Fancy. Moses. “Hot Cheetos and Takis”. I know I’m a little late to the game on this, but if, like me until this morning, you haven’t clapped your ears on what is the hypest summer jam since this one then you. must. watch. All your questions (are these kids real? yes. did they write this song, really? yes. as part of an after school program. What’s a taki?) and more answered here. I’m on point like an elbow, Hands red like elmo, My mama said ‘have you had enough?’, I look and I said ‘no ma’am’. Happy Friday, indeed.
Emmylou
Today is a good day for Emmylou: personal style icon, heavenly angel voice on the high harmony, and strongest argument yet seen for going grey gracefully. Put on the Pancho & Lefty, sit by the open window while it rains, and think about all of these outfits.
love and thanks always to woodsmaiden for these and oh so many other awesome images.
And We’re Off!
Ta Ta For Now, dear ones! Sweetheart and I are heading to tropical locales, turquoise waters, and sweet funky and spicy rum cocktails. So, I’ll bid you adieu for a bit…
In my absence and in the spirit of adventure, exploration, wanderlust, and the ever quickening pulses we’re all feeling due to the rising temperatures of summer, please enjoy a MIXTAPE I made you guys. A Feather by Feather first, this one is meant to be played with the windows down, wherever you are and wherever you’re going. It’s called Breezes Kiss Collarbone. Click to download and please share! Besos!
