Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

When I first started touring as a teenage solo musician in the early 70s, Amazingrace on Northwestern University campus was one of my favorite places to perform. It’s great to hear that amazing venue being remembered some 50 years later in this podcast!

Heron on His Holidays!

#BlueSkyMonday

#BirdOfTheDay #Heron

#EastCoastKin
A tall grey heron stands gracefully on a wooden railing overlooking clear turquoise ocean water. The sky is bright blue with scattered white clouds, and a large dark ceramic pot with green plants sits nearby on the wooden deck. The serene scene evokes a tropical island paradise.

This song came to me in a dream. The instrument I’m playing is called a Walkabout Dulcimer. Recorded live at Artichoke in #pdx, June 2008. Video by Dat Nguyen

Leisurely hike up to Williams Lake today. Made friends with the resident gray jays, who will sit on your hand if you have food.
View of small alpine lake with dark green conifers on the left, rocks and yellow grass to the right, and craggy mountains in background with cool cloud shapes above the peaks. Lacy ice along the fringes as water flows slowly through a marshy grassy area golden orange moss or algae growing over a seep that feeds the lake gray jay sitting on a gray rock, waiting for more snacks

I remember the first time I saw a stunningly bright turquoise ocean glimmer in the sunshine. And it still is one of my favourite things 🩵
Have a lovely Tuesday! ☀️🌊

A clear, bright beautifully calm ocean capture in the Caribbean. The water is shades of turquoise and cyan and ripples can be seen. A large rough rock juts on the bottom left and a small rock on the bottom right.

He gives a serious expression with a slight smile. 3x6 inch sketch card of Benjamin Sisko, a bald black man with a goatee, from Star Trek DS9 done in black ink with red accents. He has a huge smile, and holds a baseball in his hand. 3x6 inch sketch card of Kathryn Janeway, a white woman with big hair, from Star Trek Voyager done in black ink with red accents.
