I know I know “well, that’s not folk music!” Still the last original member of The Spinners, Henry Fambrough, passed last week and there’d be no ‘Pie & Whiskey” without “One Of A Kind Love Affair", so...maybe I’ll even learn Rubberband Man...

THINGS I LOVE, TODAY’S VERSION:

~ Watching a book cover artist friend of mine recently become a seriously great writer - enough to be asked to write for a hobby trade magazine on an quarterly basis.

~ Watching a 75+ year-old student of mine recently evolve (if *that* ain't an oxymoron) into a writer of transcendent lyrics and sing with remarkable purpose.

~ Doing my model plane thing in my basement

~ wings

~ Adding cinnamon to a savory tofu/roasted brussel sprout soup while it simmers, eat it, then two people running through the house shouting “Restaurant menu itemmmmmm!"

~ The sound of these fresh guitar strings

~ The dog video where the corgi barks human words in shouty indignation about baths, petting, driving

~ Shutting off a history podcast during my run and then blasting Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan's “Once You Get Started”.

~ Senior discounts

~ When PT session is over

~ Animal rescue organizations

~ Being excused from Jury Duty

~ Actually “reading" an old British aviation reference book rather than using it just to document and research types and realize the writing by *this* author is really wry and knee-slapping-hysterically funny

~ Wings

~ Mail

~ Marketing and promo people with a sense of humor and actual people street skills like the Rex Theatre folks
