When I leave here, I will teach until 10pm, an hour's drive away. So I'll be home at 11pm, just in time to start again tomorrow.Now that I'm sober all the time, thoug...
For those of you who are acoustic-guitar-playing types and are feeling like you can only take the whole acoustic guitar thing so far, this album should give you something new and higher to aspire to.

I am just recovering from my recent Brightblack Morning Fever, and am starting to get a wee bit obsessed with the new Kaki King album. In particular, the song You Don't Have To Be Afraid is getting a lot of play, inside my head and out.Also there is a song called "Jessica" which, although it's no Allman Brothers, makes me smile... heh. But I digress.The music? Well, the guitar work is beautiful...
