Book:
The Man That Stands Before You by Neco is a different read. It is a privately published collection of stories. It reads like someone talking to you and telling stories in a bar. I know the author and in fact, his process is almost just that. The writing is not sophisticated, but the stories feel very real and are told with a sense of humor and irony. The first story, “Someone to Dance With” takes a while to wind up but the scene and finish to the story is Tarantino. This could be a scene in a movie and made me laugh. Try it out!
Music:
Jonathan Richman I Was Dancing in a Lesbian Bar “Quirky”
The choice points in this song are distinctly “Bi”
James McMurtry Song for the Deckhand’s daughter “Folk/rock”
It is about her daddy and I feel like I have known him.
Curtis Salgado/Alan Hagas I Want my Dog to Live Longer. “Blues”
If you love dogs, this is for you
Our Native Daughters Quasheba Quasheba. “Americana”
Really lovely song with perfect instrumentation/vocal
Delbert McClinton No Chicken on the Bone “Swing/Blues”
Kernie hates this song; maybe too close to home?
Chris Hillman/Herbe Peterson Tu Cancion. “Folk”
The old Burrito Brother aged well; this song says it all
The Doors Yes the River Knows. “Classic Rock”
Indeed it does.
Bonnie Raitt and David Lindley Everywhere I go “Jackson Brown cover”
I am not a JB fan but this is a sweetly done cover
Ra Ra Riot Can you Tell. “Alternative/Pop”
Saw them live in Atlanta a year ago; have always liked this
Caetano Veloso Ela e Eu (Ao vivo). “Brasilian”
If you like World Music, you cannot beat Caetano for sweetness
