_____________________
Transcendental meditation or cumulative life adversities may both lead
to ego death. For example, at the vantage point of crisis when no 
reprieve seems in sight sometimes we feel lost inside an inner universe 
and our senses intermingle, giving us a chance to reach out to an unexpected
reality. Just like the (fake?) lost cosmonaut whose voice can be heard
at the end of this track (sampled from youtu.be/E2EtIKnxB2o), we
then feel that our identity and individuality are about to explode, and
we merge into cosmic energy, be it a temporary or permanent experience. 
The sound of the inner voice informs the body, mind, soul, spirit, both 
the objective and subjective points of perception and we remember that 
inside ourselves there is a microcosm of resource as vast as the cosmos. 
That is to … see (a) sound. A nugget of pure wisdom & guidance.

Lonesome D String Band and I decided to do a cover song of The Magnetic Fields (@themagneticfields) after Dan and his daughter recently covered a different song of theirs. This was such a blast and I'm so impressed how it all came together. Keep your eye out for Josie, she's got a bright future in music!

Book of Love

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing

But I, I love it when you read to me
And you, you can read me anything

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb

But I, I love it when you sing to me
And you, you can sing me anything

The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know

But I, I love it when you give me things
And you, you ought to give me wedding rings
I, I love it when you give me things
And you, you ought to give me wedding rings

Book Of Love - with Lonesome D String Band featuring Josie Greenwood

An emotional original blues, You Just Don't Care.  Joined by the wonderful Stephan Lipinski on guitar and Vlad Olley on blues harp.  

Stephan's playing so tasty, as he eats up the classic 12 bar blues form.  Vlad's also a fine blues guitarist, but we've got him here playing some traditional, soulful harp.  

Check out these sweet players:
