I’ve got the longest run of the season coming up on Sunday, and can begin a gradual taper next week. These old bones need the rest.
Don’t read too much into my great fondness for #1. #5 is my favorite Eagles track, #3 is from one of those folk groups whose records my mother played for me when I was small, and they’re thus permanently part of my consciousness. #7 includes a line I thought immensely profound when I was nineteen: “we’re too young to reason, too grown up to dream.” (Now, it seems silly, but that’s what a couple of decades will do for ya.) #8 is from a local Pasadena artist whose work I’ve long admired. The Paul Colman Trio are a fairly obscure Christian band from Australia; I caught them opening for Third Day a few years back and they stole the show.
