Will You perform wonders for the dead?
\nWill the departed spirits rise <\/em>and praise You?<\/em><\/p>\n

This space has been vacant, has been temporarily & unjustly abandoned, & for this I apologize.\u00c2\u00a0 BUT!\u00c2\u00a0 I offer insubstantial reasoning & lame excuses.\u00c2\u00a0 I spent some time in Arizona after my job ended, then spent some time packing for school, then came to school.\u00c2\u00a0 So here I’ve been, for a week now, & that’s where the excuses stop because I have none.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose I have been readjusting, moving in, etc., & now that I have moved into a real live house, things feel slower, more homey, more comfortable.\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps the best way to write is to make yourself as uncomfortable as possible (could this be why I wrote so much over the summer?\u00c2\u00a0 Egads, I bet!).<\/p>\n

Anyway, I have a small handful of ideas brewing for posts, but for now I can only offer music — because, after all, what better way is there to dip into my brain & take a spoonful than to see what I’ve been listening to on repeat?\u00c2\u00a0 This first one is an old classic, covered by a group of the most compelling musicians on the scene today.\u00c2\u00a0 Watch as Gillian Welch<\/a>, everybody’s favorite faux-mountain-mama, invites the Old Crow Medicine Show<\/a> boys onstage for a heart-rendering rendition of “The Weight<\/a>“\u00c2\u00a0 If you aren’t crying by the fiddle solo before the 4th verse, I don’t know you.<\/p>\n
