traveling music yesterday

Robert Earl Keen (Rose Hotel), John Hiatt (Same Old Man) and Todd Snider (The Excitement Plan) took me to Charleston and back yesterday. A solid line up of some of my favorites. I travel more with other people these days, and so don't have the solitude time as much. Good to have some old reliables in the CD player. These are sharp "lyric-fellahs" and keen (Robert Earl) observers of the human condition and foibles. John Hiatt's getting some longitudinal perspective on him; the song about Brownie McGee, John Lee Hooker, etc. shows some credibility about being around through some hard touring times.
