I Want to Love Hohner Again

Galapagos Duck with Greg Foster on Harp

This weekend I came across a really snazzy little jazz number by an Australian band called Galapagos Duck.  To be completely honest, I don’t know if I was drawn more by the harmonica or the band’s name, because both are

The Tale of Lovely Bridges

Okay, one more song from Rainville. This is about a girl named Lovely Bridges. She’s the prettiest girl in town and next door neighbor to two brothers named Limpy and Lispy. From Rainville: “Lovely had a sardonic British bio-father who

The Clockmaker of Rainville

A very good friend of mine wrote an awesome collection of short stories titled, Rainville, and I think it’s one of the coolest things in the world.  It’s a marvelously quirky bit of writing about the lives of a couple
