I knew I left something in the room.


Comment of the year, Westy! Hilarious. Don't listen to the haters!

I live in Atlanta and I can attest that I saw a shirtless old man wearing headphones leaving that hotel on Piedmont.

3 miles from home? 10 and 12? Hmm. It depends on the kids.


I used to walk home from school 2.5 miles through San Jose, CA, a city with a population of one million.


Does that make my mother an abusive parent?
Map of Route.

The difference, I'm sure, is that I knew the way, these two girls probably had no clue how to get home. Does that make it endangerment? A lapse of better judgement? Probably, but I don't think she should be prosecuted and have her daughters taken away. That's not going to solve anything.

SnoozeDr you, lucky...!!! Wow, I would have loved to have seen/heard that. Old Piedmont mountain-y style finger picking is the happiest music ever played.

Keep it comin.

Goes well with this I posted about her last night: http://www.videosift.com/video/Piedmont-Blues-Master-at-91-Etta-Baker-Knoxville-Rag

Yes, I know...it's VIDEOsift, but please excuse this one for me?

I've been looking for something of this incredible woman for a long time now. She was legend in N.C. as one of oldest piedmont blues guitarist around. She IS piedmont blues.

She died last year at 93. I saw an interview of her last year and instantly loved this lady. She was sitting in her backyard in an old folding lounge chair playing for the interviewer. If anyone comes across any video of her, please let me know?

This is the best example of old piedmont mountain finger picking around. So sweet
