I'm gonna be out of town again this weekend. And all this week and next, I'm gonna be slogging away on my edits.
So for now, for your listening and viewing pleasure, here's some music that I absolutely lived by a while back. Southern blues rock.
I tried to find a good YouTube with my absolute favorite Allman Brothers song, Ain't Wastin' Time No More - but the choices were limited. It's worth a purchase on I-Tunes if you're interested at all in the mindset of a certain societal strata in the American South, in the 1970s, and on down to now. It's got the rain, the trains, and the whole damn thing, all embedded and distilled into one sardonic and damn good song.
And, a much more important thing to know, is that coming soon, one of my favoritest favorite people will be here, blogging on this blog...Don't know which day it will be. I just know that he's said he will, and that's enough for me to know it's true.

I don't know enough to know how close it is to that "certain societal strata", but I'm a big fan of The Band.
Good luck on the edits. That's what I should be doing, but my boss thinks otherwise.
Edits can be fun, too! When you come across passages and you realize that hey, that's actually really good! Makes up for the ones you come across and think, "What??"
We'll miss you, but have fun on your trip and get through your edits. We'll be waiting.
Wonder who that surprise bloggee could be? :o)
Enjoy yourself out-of-towning and editing! Can we hold a wild party on your blog while you're gone?
Ohhhh, I freaking love that song, ril. Serious love there.
Thanks, Pete. I spent a lot of time today on those chapters. Worked my ass off to get the chance to use some daylight hours -but I know what you mean - if there's something 'on' at the office, then it's late at night or early in the morning for me.
Yeah, Kiersten, thanks for saying that! I found a few of those good passages today- and a few not so good- hence the need for editing, huh?
Hey, Miss Phoenix - I won't be able to be on this weekend - but I think you'll be really happy with who might show up. And it's not who ya think, girlfriend, but you're gonna love it.
I know this because I know that I love it that he's said yes - and you have excellent taste - so you'll love it, too!
Oh, the intrigue!
And Robin, thanks for your comments on my blog. I appreciate them ; )
Also, thought I'd let you know, I gave you a cameo in my book that I have now realized will be a full-fledged main character in the sequel. So when I start writing it, I may have to ask you for some colloquialisms and accent tips, if you don't mind too terribly...
Hey, cool, a book cameo.
Yep, I'm available to do consultations - and happy to oblige!
I don't know if I'll be on here between now and Sunday night, as we'll be gone soon - but check in here the next few days for someone besides me to come talking with you.
And, in the meantime...Happy Friday!
I love Southern Rock from the 70s. Lynnard Skynnard in particular. Although come to think of it, I don't have any albums.
See you when you get back!
The suspense!!!!
Robin, a clue, a clue!!
:-)
Lynyrd Skynyrd is actually the correct spelling, Wyrdd.
Hey, Robin, I knew we were connected on some weird mind trip that transcends time and distance. In my high school yearbook, the seniors all had quotes. My quote was from Ain't Wastin' Time.
"Time goes by like pourin' rain, and much faster things."
Hey you all,
Got back in town a few hours ago.
I can't say who'll be here, Chris, girl. What kind of surprise would that be?
Hi Wyrd and Wood,
Yep with the Southern rock connections!
And that is a weird word connection, Wood. That is one of my favorite songs, ever.
Hope you all have have a good weekend!
P.S. That was supposed to say...
'have HAD a good weekend.'
Sorry for the typo.
Guest blogger. Hmm. From your discussion with Phoenix, I'm guessing not EE. Perhaps someone without a blog...
Keep on editing, Miss Robin.
Ah dangit, McKoala, now you got me all excited that maybe it's Ril.
