Undisciplined

I have tried to keep to my schedule of weekly postings of memoir entries, but sometimes things just load up on me and I can’t do it. Lacka damn discipline, my Drill Instructors would have said.

If I can’t offer my own words, I’ll offer someone else’s much more talented take on this life. For now, it’ll be Miranda Lambert and a little sample of her Marfa Tapes album. If you’ve ever seen the movies “Hud” or “Giant,” you’ve seen Marfa, Texas, a mysterious place of bleak and blasted beauty. Miz Lambert took two of her musician buddies out there, armed only with acoustic guitars and two microphones, and they recorded an album in a cow pasture. The result was, in my opinion, magnificent. Here’s three songs from the album.

A bit of Tejas trivia…the song “Waxahatchee” (pronounced wahks-uh-HATCH-ee) is a gorgeous little town in Texas where the Robert Duvall movie “Tender Mercies” was filmed.

Blessings to you all, my dear readers.
