Warren Zevon

I was listening to some old stuff today while I was working on my summer curriculum project and while writing curriculum is just about the most fun one can have on a summer day, I lost a little focus when some Zevon came on the shuffle. It's hard to believe that it has been almost 7 years since he left us. Looking back at least we have all that music to remember him by. Here's some cool clips I found nosing around YouTube today.








This last one gets me every time. My dad passed away the same week as Warren and Johnny Cash back in 2003. Everytime I hear this it brings me back but in a good way.



To those who know me play that one and Ripple when it is my time (hopefully many years from now).

Picks for Sunday Morning

Getting ready to take my son off to camp this beautiful Sunday morning here on Long Island and some fine tunes have been spinning (???) on the laptop.

Warren Zevon - Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School
Oft over-looked, but almost as good as his debut, third album.




Ry Cooder - The Ry Cooder Anthology: The UFO Has Landed
Hard to classify and way, way too many different albums for me to absorb makes this 2 CD anthoogy the perfect place to go to hear one of the unique talents in american music.



The Mighty Jeremiahs - The Mighty Jerimiahs
Foot stompin' blues-gospel. It is Sunday after all.
