Bob Dylan Interview With Time Magazine

Bo

Welcome 2011!

I'm so excited for the New Year and all of the new and exciting possibilities for the future. I hear so many amazing stories about one person or a small group of people making a huge difference by making a small difference in their own lives. Volunteer work and charity is increasing, despite the period of economic difficulty.  Of course, we are not close to being out of the woods with the environment or stability of our future yet and many countries economies around the world are literally collapsing. I hope this new year brings more peace, by encouraging and forcing people to evolve with the new state of life on Earth. 

One of my favorite things about these days is how many amazing, talented and real musicians are  Because of technology changing at a faster rate than ever before, emerging artists and designers are able to become know without the help of large corporate record deals or contracts. One of my favorite little known folk singers plays under the, The Tallest Man On Earth.  I happened upon this video one day on my favorite French music site, La Blogotheque.  Iv'e really enjoyed his albums classic approach to music that has always been great with a modern ideology mixed in.  Here are a couple of my favorite videos, performed live in various interesting locations.

Langhorne Slim A Musician That Lives in Portland

I cannot believe summer is almost over, it's been so lovely here!  It's still sunny and in the seventies but the leaves are just beginning to turn yellow, and it will be fall before we know it. 

This video reminds me of summer time and the beautiful days in Portland. It's  written and performed beautifully by one of my favorite bands, Langhorne Slim.  I used to watch them play in small , random clubs in New York when I was in college with a friend of mine who was his school mate.  They were always amazing live and put out several excellent records. Recently they have become more well known, and by chance moved to Portland, Oregon. They tour often and should not be missed. This is a personal video performance favorite of mine in Bermuda,

Goodbye summer....
