Dec 2012

One of my favorite memories was on an April morning in the '70's, riding across the Blue Ridge Mountains. Dad and I in the camper. It was a crisp, sunny morning with an occasional wisp of smoke coming out of chimneys from the cabins in the hollows.

Playing Old Train on the cassette.

It never got better than that.

RIP
