Second straight week of posting. Must be some sort of record. I remember a time… seriously when I was in high school and college I was a very good letter writer. I had a lot of friends that I corresponded with on a regular basis. Sometimes it was just a card with a humorous sentiment, but sometimes it was pages and pages of what I’m sure was a lot of nonsense. I’ve gotten out of that habit, and the thought of sending something now freezes me up.
If I did regular correspondence now it’d have to be typed on the computer and printed out. My handwriting, never good to begin with, has gotten much worse over the years. I can barely make out what I wrote down sometimes when I take notes. I received a nice letter a couple of weeks ago and I know I should respond, but… I’ll have to find a way to get back into the habit.
In the meantime, my updated mix tapes that I used to mail to friends continue as my podcast. This week I have songs from 10,000 Maniacs, Kitchens of Distinction, Gorillaz, Psychedelic Furs, Johnny Horton, Dwight Yoakam, Buck Owens, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Townes Van Zandt, Nick Drake, Rickie Lee Jones, Pete Townshend, Bonnie Raitt, and Fruit Bats.
