    Neon – 49 Winchester I promised more 49, so here it is! While “Hays, Kansas” was the first song I heard by them and loved it, “Neon” is the song that really sold me on them as a band. I mentioned in my previous post about these guys how I felt they were essentially a… Read more

    Caravan – Live from The Last Waltz – Van Morrison The world is a better place with Van Morrison in it. I was taught that at a young age by my mom, and I will be forever grateful to her for that. She first introduced Van the Man to me with her favorite song of… Read more
