Cowboy Grizzly – COVID-19 and Hold You Up
Some lucky people remember only the good times and refuse to dwell on their tragedies. My family is not among that group. Wherever two or more of my ancient ancestors gather together, the air becomes fetid with tales of the suffering experienced by the long-expired....
Hot Car – Car Alarm
My college writing instructor -- a magnificent old Welshman who claimed to have known W.C. Fields and to have survived a fistfight with Robert Shaw -- advised against writing outdoors. It seems like a good idea, he said. But then the bugs bite and the sun is in your...
The Unswept – Forget The Day
Mnemosyne, one must admit, has shown herself to be a very careless girl. ― Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory It is just an illusion here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone, it is gone forever... All...
Guest Post by Bomethius – The Machine
I wrote my new album with my uncle, Dave Hodges, in a Google doc over the course of the past year. Dave is a structural engineer who has a degree in aerospace engineering, owns his own firm, doesn't wear shoes, is aggressively Roman Catholic, has eight children,...
laughingstock – Something Lite
To remain master of one's four virtues: courage, insight, sympathy, and solitude. For solitude is a virtue with us, as a sublime bent and bias to purity, which divines that in the contact of man and man, in society, it must be unavoidably impure. All society makes one...
Leon Russell and the Allman Brothers – Captain Marvel Jones
Captain Marvel, the latest expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU to those in the know), is exploding in a theater near you and I can't wait for it to light up the screen of our local Studio Movie Grill. The traditional Friday dinner-and-a-movie date night...
New Riders of the Purple Sage – Dead Flowers (Live)
The marriage of rock and country looks like a good idea when the wedding invitation arrives in the US Mail. The patriarch of each family enters the ceremony bearing calloused hands, a bottle of whiskey tucked into the back pocket of his overalls, and tales of plowing...
Tim Buchanan with Dusk – Grinnin’
Country music didn’t stay country for long. As soon as the Carters could rub two coins together, Maybelle and the girls left A.P. stranded on Clinch Mountain and decamped to the Nashville suburb of Madison, where their neighbors included Hank Snow and Colonel Tom...
Glen Campbell – Wichita Lineman
I first heard "Wichita Lineman" at the bowling alley. Not the new one. The old lanes out on Washington Avenue across from the Cee Bee grocery store. The building is still there. It would have been a Saturday night, because that's the only night we ever went bowling....
What the Eeph?
If you cranked up a television on a Saturday night in the early 70’s and flipped through the channels, you inevitably encountered a show called Hee Haw. And if you lingered there long enough, you beheld a strange and wondrous sight: two men, often standing in a barn...

Hannah Rooth – Never Say Much (Louder)
We are wrongly taught to pity those whose lives are modified by fear. And while a fear of, for example, mice may seem irrational given the great disparity in the sizes of the adversaries, it is entirely logical to fear the common house cat, a creature descended from...
Cowboy Grizzly – Who Are You? and I’m Not Sure Quite Yet
How did I come into the world; why was I not asked, why was I not informed of the rules and regulations, but thrust into the ranks as if I had been forced by a Seelenverkopper? ...Where is the manager, I would like to make a complaint! -- Søren Kierkegaard, Repetition...
Guest Post by Fluffy: Wild Daydream – Another Sunny Day
Hi, it's me again. Fluffy the Cat. Sometimes when the Food Guy is busy he lets me write his log post and put it on the Winternet. Today the Food Guy has a pre-existing condition to touch up the paint on the outside of the house and then complain about his sore back,...
The Blue Herons – Endless Rain
'A gale is a gale, Mr. Jukes,' resumed the Captain, 'and a full-powered steam-ship has got to face it. There's just so much dirty weather knocking about the world, and the proper thing is to go through it with none of what old Captain Wilson of the Melita calls 'storm...
