    Early Summer 2017 Playlist: Hey, Ho, the Wind and the Rain

    If we were back in Kentucky, summer would be upon us already.  School would be out, the weather would be warmer, and the pools would be opening. But alas, we are not in our beloved home state, and while we’re happy to escape the influx of pollen and dander that the season brings, there are…

Turn on a specific song and we’re suddenly post-Homecoming Dance twirling around Scout’s kitchen or in Zelda’s old Volvo driving to one of many quick recall matches in the cold midwinter. The South in particular has a long musical…
