The blog, How About Orange..., is one of my must-reads. Author, Jessica Jones, is a graphic creator of the best kind. She offers crafty how-to's, ideas, freebies and all-around inspiration. But with a modern twist. No hens. Plus, I like her even though the color orange makes me think of Jack Nicholson which generally makes me melancholy. Oh, Jack.

First, I love Jewel. I enjoy her unique sound and her crooked teeth. Her debut album, Pieces of You, hogs a lot of the space on my college mixtape. I mean, I stand in the rain and take my coat off because I'm crazy like that. This video is a delightful use of her talents.

I went to see one of my fave musicians Dave Barnes work out his comedy this weekend. 1. He was really funny. 2. As sad as I was that he didn't sing, he brought two great singer/songwriters with him. The first I'll introduce is Ben Rector. Great voice, great lyrics, and not great suspenders. But he acknowledged that. This song, When a Heart Breaks, is just a sample of a delightful catalog of music.
I'm so jealous! I was planning to be at that show but it didn't work out. Glad you got to go and experience both Dave & Ben. I've been a Dave fan for a good while, but Ben is a new one for me. He opened up for Dave when he was here a few months ago (this time doing his music). I got hooked on the Gabe Dixon Band the same way. Check them out if you haven't already.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to see you AND Dave Barnes! I'm headed to hear GDB right now, since you are the sensei of my favorite music...
