    Claypick, I used to sing that one to my wife when we were first dating.

    When is the folk festival? I was thinking of trying to get out to Nova Scotia to visit my mom this summer.

    also, apropos of nothing

    http://www.stanfest.com/ It's nothing to see the performers shut down and just let the audience do the singing!

    Love love love going to our folk fests. I got to play my fiddle at one last summer. That was pretty exciting.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

    I saw them do this live at the Ottawa Folk Festival, must have been about 13 years ago now. They shared the stage with Garnet Rogers.

    Just my latest song infatuation. VERY stirring.

    My excuse is that it's from the episode "Alone" of The Walking Dead (didn't realize that).

    We are looking at a drought right now, with some pretty major consequences for the Ottawa valley produce i've come to know and love if we don't get some good, soaking rain in the next week or so.


    I could pray for rain, but I personally think Luke Bryan does it better.
