| Dear friends and family,
Happy Valentine’s Day! Here in Michigan the snow and cold remain for now and I am thankful for it. We all know the spring is so beautiful and everything, but it is also a time when life gets so busy again.
I, for one, could use a little more time with the dark and stillness of the winter, dreaming by the woodstove.
Actually, we have not been idle this season. As some of you know we’ve spent the time we’ve had working on a Little Spoon River album. We recently finished tracking and are now in the mixing phase and are excited to share with you a short clip from the rough mix in progress. Listen here at https://theillalogicalspoon.bandcamp.com/. We hope to be ready to release the CD this summer. This project is probably the closest we’ll ever get to writing an album of love songs, but be warned they are not all fun and games, yet I don’t think they are cynical either. We still believe in the power of love. And we love you, whoever you are, just the way you are.
XOXO,
Little Spoon River
O, here it comes again!
Love is a spring wind swirling around
and in-between
us and all our lovers
and even our enemies.
I know they say that love is our true home
but underneath this Hunger Moon
I’m all alone and eating bones
I know that there is still nutrition in the marrow
I’ve read Walden a couple of times
so, “suck it” Henry David Thoreau
Right now I can only hear the cracking of the ice
the lake is freezing up again
I drain another bottle of wine | |
