mountain air i do declare


.: red sky at night :.

i just finished listening to this solo record master for the umpteenth time and yikes, i still like it. 'a date with a smoke machine' rolls off to the plant tomorrow. the artwork is smoking again and i feel like i might be on to something. much more on that later...

while listening, i'm reflecting a some pretty amazing weekends with family and friends recently and i thought i'd share some of the cool moments from a couple of days ago. my dad and i caught this incredible sunset that someone sent our way and i was pretty grateful to have my camera nearby. we both paused for this one.

*sigh*

then i thought i should rip it up, get creative and shoot a video.

yeah, much more on that later too.

.: after dinner jam :.

my uncle bob pulled out his accordion after dinner and treated us all to a bunch of fine traditional reels and spiels. i accompanied on my magical j45 and while he looks like he's about to give me the gears for playing a wrong note here, i thought i did rather well. :)

hearing his playing echo in the still country mountain air was a serious treat.
