Music of The Spheres of Someone's Life

 There are a few music-makers whose music hovers close toward me and mine.  Usually, I have two immediate responses: two steps forward, "YES!" and a muted one step out of the queue, "But what about that?"   Haha, I was just looking at the lineup to the 2019 music fest at Nowhere Else, the ranch of Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist, collectively known as Over the Rhine.  

Here's that poster. * 

*not 2021, mind you.  

Yes indeed. These are all such good people, and they make such good music.  About that "other" reaction, well, sometimes I look in the mirror and ask, "Who are you and what did you do with the guy?"  Probably the more comfortable we all get with life, the easier it is to love people and ourselves with comfort and grace, letting us all be what we are and not what we wish.  

Over the Rhine, or Linford and Karin, have a festival coming up this year.  Three days of peace and understanding, I think that's what I heard.  Maybe that was some other festival, I don't know.  But knowing the good folk at Nowhere Else, we can trust that the three days are likely to be the odds-on favorite bet for a good time in 2021.

While I'm saying nice things about music and musicians, let me share with you my admiration for Susie Glaze, who, with her husband Steve Rankin and long-time musical friends Fred Sanders and Mark Indictor, play good music and aim for the high ground, shall we say. I just love these folks. This recent performance was brought to my attention, and I'd like to bring it to yours.
