Thirty Three

I keep referring back to this video, not so much from the viewpoint of a guitarist or musician, but from that of a storyteller, craftsman, nomad, and it's like I'm watching it for the first time every time.
It's just one of those things that I can't really pinpoint or explain, but just makes me feel at home.

I'm not very good at posting these on Mondays ... I should just call it Music Tuesday, but that doesn't sound nearly as good. :)

Yesterday I watched a show about Simon & Garfunkel on VH1 Classics, which inspired me to go back and listen to all of their albums. None of their albums are uploaded on YouTube, but if you own a copy, I would definitely recommend you take a moment to re-listen!
