Electric

This song is running through my head and I don't mind at all...

Sounds- Defiance, Ohio!

Some songs stick with you for a long time after you've heard them. Oh, Susquehanna by Defiance, Ohio is one of them for me. I had the great pleasure of hearing them play once, at a library of all places! That concert, with the librarians, colorful grungy and studded people, and kids dressed as ballerinas all at once sitting cross legged on the floor is one of my all time favorites. All of the bands playing had been touring together for months and were soon to finish, and it lent them a camaraderie and a chemistry that was cool to see. People were subbing from one band to the next for fun, because they knew each others songs so well. And string instruments being used like this get me every time. Not to mention the player could perform it while joining in the riotous dancing that eventually ensued.

Wanderlust

This song has a long and interesting history, originating with a slower version (with better instrumentals!) by The Carter Family, which did not include the famous cups.

But I also enjoy this version, for the clear tones, and of course the video. I wouldn't mind telling the grindstone where to shove it today, but I'm trying to remember that enough of this will finally buy me some of that. Plan B is a gypsy caravan and a lesser attachment to showers.
