Thanks to E who Ryan caught up with in Los Angeles for dusting of this Leon Russell classic he hadn’t played in 80 or 90 years. He mentioned about how it could come back so quickly, had become part...
Bowerbirds » Doug Paisley – No One But You
I’ve had my eye on bowerbirds for a long time, the actual birds that is. It may have actually been this David Attenborough piece (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPbWJPsBPdA which Google just led me to again) that I had seen years ago to...

Sydney Wayser » Caveman – Decide
It really was a beautiful day in New York. I love heading over to these shoots on days like this, and most of the time not really knowing what to expect when the door opens. Sometimes with these there’s...
