We are partners who transitioned to a new place, from city to country and into the house of our dreams. But settled or not, life never stands still. Every day is still a day of transition.
Welcome
After a long hiatus, I'm back with every good intention of sharing a few observations about this new life in the country. I hope it will be daily. I would dearly love to sweeten the pot with some music, but the copyright police have made sharing tunes on Blogger dangerous to the health of blogs, so there will most likely be silence on that score. I live for comments, so feel free....

This song is from Buffy Sainte-Marie's second album, "Many a Mile." The LP was originally released in 1965. It is no longer in print and the label, Vanguard, has never issued a CD of it, though it digitized and released the rest of its Sainte-Marie catalogue in the 90s.
The only version available now of "Piney Wood Hills" is a terrible country-western cover Buffy did much later. If you never heard this beautiful acoustic version (with lead guitar played by a great but now totally forgotten Daddy Bones) you'd never know how good the song really is. It was the very first song I ever heard Buffy Sainte-Marie do, and I was totally hooked. This song is a perfect marriage of her melodic gift with her trademark passion.
Thanks, Kat, for digitzing my LP for me. It only took three years; the wait was worth it.
Enjoy!
