Raindrops on railings and good guitar pickers,
Big old cheeseburgers and cheap bourbon liquor...
These are a few of my favorite things.

Art inspires art inspires art.

Out in the Big Bend region, there's very little radio/cell reception. We managed by playing music already saved on my phone, including a set of tunes by a guy out of Fort Worth who goes by Brokestring Burnett. 1/2

I'm a telephoto guy, but you can't go wrong by getting as close to the stage as possible.

Dear public TV stations -

Don't offer me a tote bag for my contribution.

I got $500 for Steve Inskeep to bellow "Fuck Donald Trump!" live on air.
