Your mid-week, martini-worthy photo image

This past Saturday afforded us the opportunity to do a day-trip with family and friends out at Joshua Tree with a mandatory trip to the road house Pappy and Harriet’s afterwards for some grub and brews. (Hot tip: get the Santa Maria tri-tip which is open pit-grilled over mesquite lumps. Fellas: is there any finer smell on the planet?)



We stumbled across the following gem on our Gram Parsons Pandora channel a few days ago. Unfortunately, the particular version with Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris is not available on Youtube so instead we’re posting a very worthy version of this beautiful country-spiritual “The Angels Rejoiced Last Night” featuring Emmylou and Rodney Crowell.

Oh, for cryin' out loud... Embed no workie so please go here. Trust us - you'll love the song or your money back.



And is Pappy and Harriet's an appropriate place to take children?


Hey, no worries, they've got a day care center...

KBwD is on the Air.

Didn’t get around to it yesterday because we really enjoyed the Wall Street Journal Opinion article by Peggy Noonan and commenting upon it pre-empted what we hope to make our usual Friday music feature.

Our home-cat KT at the Scratching Post turned us on to Pandora Radio a few weeks back. We haven’t toyed with it extensively but the few test spins we have taken have been pretty cool. Enter an artist or a song and Pandora will create a virtual radio station streaming songs in the genre of your selection. Click here.
We’re not sure how to clear/delete the “stations” created so just consider “the Gourds”, “Calexico” and “the Beat Farmers” and “The Monkees” (via KT), our gift to you.
