On the Beach
For the last week we've been on the gulf coast to enjoy the beautiful beaches and to do a bit of birding. Last week was a bird banding to inventory the migration, and this weekend is a birding festival. I hope I'll return home with some great photos which I will share. In the meantime, I've reposted a visit to the to the Gulf from a few years ago in March.
We are attracted to the shore. Some say it hearkens back to the womb...our mother's heartbeat and sounds of amniotic fluid. One thing is for sure. We are loving our beaches to death...at least here on the Gulf Coast. Last week we made it to the river delta. Join me as we continue our journey along Alabama's small strip of beaches and into the wilds of the Mississippi coast.
Directional Truth

Album of the Week 10-5-24
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 10/05/2024 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
This week we have beaucoup de blues! Starting out we've got an old Junior Wells album followed by a compilation of Chicago blues from Lonnie Brooks, Pinetop Perkins and the Sons of the Blues (S.O.B. Band). After that we have some soul-blues from Johnnie Taylor in his Stax period followed by New Orleans artist Johnny Adams, backed by some fabulous horn arrangements and Wayne Bennett on guitar on most tracks. Following that it's on to some blues-rock with ZZ Top. Moving on to our diversity albums for the week, there's a compilation of british singles from the Immediate label, then get ready to yodel your blues away with country icon Jimmie Rodgers. We finish up with a radio program that features Mance Lipscomb, sponsored by the Social Security Administration, recorded during the great folk music scare of the 60's.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
