Inch by inch, row by row. That’s how a gardener builds a life. I need a couple of days away from the blog after 97 daily posts in a row. While I’m gone, here’s Arlo Guthrie teaching us how to sing a song. Hope you have a happy time zone!

Juke Box — Purple Haze
Yesterday the weather was as good as it gets. Today looks to be more of the same. Wherever you are on this jumping green sphere, have a great day! To get you going, here’s the uniquely talented Jimi Hendrix, who left us too soon.
Juke Box – Canned Goods
Greg Brown’s story about Iowa is one I’d like to believe.
Juke Box – Cowboy Take Me Away
Too much to do in this short life. Time enough for a cover of this song though.
Juke Box: Blue Sky

It’s Friday with big load of work ahead.
In 1972, seven days after the Allman Brothers Band released their third studio album, Eat a Peach, they appeared at the University of Iowa Field House. We didn’t know what to expect since Duane Allman had been killed in a motorcycle accident Oct. 29, 1971. I worked a carbon arc spotlight for the show and it was a stunner. Eat a Peach was the last album on which Duane Allman played. This is a recording from it.
Hope you have a great Friday!
Juke Box – Red Dirt Road
Getting a late start today, and no, I didn’t stay up late to hear the full U.S. Senate reading of the American Rescue Plan. Here’s one of my favorites songs. Make it a great Friday!
Juke Box – Gas Station Women
Here’s one by Phil Ochs.
“Fill ‘er up with love please won’t you mister? Just the Hi-Test is what I used to say. But that was before I lost my baby. I’ll have a dollar’s worth of regular today.”
Happy Friday!
Juke Box – To Beat the Devil
Busy weekend ahead. Here’s a Johnny Cash version of a Kris Kristofferson song.
Juke Box – I’ll Fly Away
Taking the weekend to get chores done so I can focus on the election.
“Get busy living or get busy dying.” ~ Stephen King.
Juke Box – Jubilee
Today’s forecast is to be sunny beginning late morning, clear, and with a high of 52 degrees. I’m prepping to get outside and don’t have a lot of availability for screen time and related reading and writing before the sun comes up at 6:43 a.m. in an hour or so. I’m leaving this here.
Have a better Saturday than expected in a time of the coronavirus pandemic.
