Only pulled into music

The sky was dark and cloudy, the road was wet, and the top was up.  Yet, by the time I reached campus the sunrise was deep blue and gold, clouds appeared to be parting, and a gambling man would see a sunny day as a wagerable possibility.  NOAH says mixed sun and clouds, high of 70º (!!) and 20% chance of rain.  So, the only real gamble is which comes at which hour.  I do know this was the second morning that the heat pump came on to push a little bit of heat into the house in the early morning, which considering how low we have the temperature set, is surprising.

I was pulled into the music this morning, so my thoughts stayed there.  The first tune is from Mark Isham's very electric tribute to Miles Davis, and every tune is worth getting lost in.  Same goes for the Seamus Egan tune that followed it up, a tuneful Irish ballad with lots of deep riffing on a recorder over some very good fiddle work.  More good stuff.
  • Mark Isham: All Blues
  • Seamus Egan: Mick O'Connor's
  • John Mayer: In Your Atmosphere (Live)
  • Don Byron: Tobacco Auctioneer
