Pittsburgh
Hey there it's been a while. Remember me? I had a stop over here once and stayed in hotel flipping channels. I think I ate at a place that looked like a castle?
That was years ago. Now cassie and i are visiting friends in Pittsburgh. The wonderful Smiths.
we went to one of the finest record stores i've ever seen
where i found 3 out of print LPs by my friend Andrew Calhoun
and a scratchy promo of one of my favorites Oscar Brown Jr.
it didn't have the cover but i wanted it bad. it is pretty rare to run across an LP by this guy.
and i just had to have Andrew's LPs. He used to come to Kerville to the folk festival. I remember it well. He'll always be there as far as I'm concerned. Singing.
We drove Andrew and Oscar to Irvington NY for a wedding. To Crown Heights Brooklyn. To Boston, Glaucester to see some waves and Shelburne Falls to my cousin's place.
and back to Knoxville Tn to home. to the crazy yard. full of rotting tomatoes and wilting leaves. Okra 6 feet tall. red and green. squash and ginger. bee balm with its tasty petals leaning every which way.
