Still fresh and brilliant – what a TV debut! Just love how into it the other musicians on the show are.

A lovely song by Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons.

In White Memorial Conservation Centre yesterday on an incredibly beautiful boardwalk circling a lake.

First time I heard this years ago I found it just the most amazingly uplifting song – fabulous harmonies. For various reasons, I needed to hear this again today!

Almost like an undiscovered Roy Orbison/Dylan classic, except Molinari wrote/released it 3 years ago. Great song I think.

Saw this on Later…with Jools Holland the other night, just fabulous.

Such a great song, The Decemberists are an awesome band & I love anything Gillian Welch does – what’s not to like about this video
