We’ve had 11 so-called atmospheric rivers this winter. Being in a severe drought, with many dry wells around us, the rain is a blessing. On the mountains, new records of total snowfall are about to be set. Still, the constant rain can get a fella sort of itchy to get moving outside. Yet, still recovering [...]

And The Cello…
onMercy Me (with all instruments and rough vocal/instruments mix) by gary a. mcmahon on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/user-359965116/mercy-me-with-all-instruments-and-rough-vocalinstruments-mix This is a very rough mix, but now includes all the instruments, for Mercy Me.

Recorded again and moved it away from its original bluegrass sound to this sound. It probably took me fifty attempts to get the vocals down. Kept thinking of that line from Ringo's [...]

Some of the people I read about are considered religious saints, some are sort of saints-in-waiting and some might be considered secular saints who impacted a particular arena of life.
