One of Señora‘s and I favorite musicians, the British folk singer Pete Morton will be at the Focal Point March 16. We will absolutely be there. Hope to see you there too.
A man, his guitar, and simple touching lyrics…

One more video of a song we heard performed at the Woodyfest in Okemah, OK. Grant Peeples was a last minute replacement for an act that became sick. His claim to fame is that he opened for Dan Berns one time at a famous venue in Atlanta, GA. The singer-songwriter career path is a strange and frequently a not-for-profit journey. But there does seem to be a lot of these troubadours out there, struggle though it may be.
About the time I have completely written off Oklahoma as hopeless and a no man’s zone, I run across something gives me a glimmer of hope that all is not lost in my native state.
The Red Dirt Rangers are hugely popular in Oklahoma, especially around the Stillwater region. It always amazes that bands like this are not bigger nationally. We heard them perform this song Thursday night at the Woodyfest in Okemah, OK.
Again after this horrible, horrible week in our nation’s history I need some lightness. Three national treasures singing one of my favorite Neil Young songs. If I had a shrine in my abode, Dolly would be there, right next to Buddha.

Dolly did clean it up a bit, replacing the line about getting high…
Robin aka Señora sings in a couple different choirs. One is them is the Allegro Choir, a choir for persons of at least 50 years of age.

Enjoy.
One more John Prine music video, just because I love his stuff.
Robin and I, like a million other couples ,decided a long while back that this was “our” song.
One of my all time favorites…
Last weekend Robin and I made a pilgrimage to the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The reason for this pilgrimage was because Jimmy LaFave was going to be playing there. Jimmy is at the top of my list of favorite musicians. I have been listening to him for 20 years, and if I do not have all of his CDs, I have the vast majority. His music speaks to me on so many levels. The fact that he is not more famous than he is, says more about the music industry Continue reading “We Need Woody Guthrie and Jimmy LaFave”
