I really like Old Blind Dogs. They've got a fairly traditional sound, but use drums (hand drums, mostly) in a way I've not heard before.

Many of the songs they do are pretty Scottish in theme, though...lot of drinkin' and guys climbing in girls' windows at night. Why so many Scots ballads are that way, I dunno.

I'd definitely go see them if they were in the area, though.

Gotta go get ready for church!

Enjoyed the pictures, Hair! I think I saw a TV special on the glass guy a few years ago. Making large, hideous bush things out of chunks of glass. It was for some art exhibit in Europe, as I recall. I was astounded that there were so many people fawning over him and gushing over those...things.

And the pictures from the froo-froo pet place were entertaining, too. In this part of the state, most of our "pet stores" are mainly feed and gardening places with a corner for dog toys and leashes and stuff. No doggie tents here!
