Digging This
Chris gave me a few songs as reference points to the inspiration behind his music. This being one of them. I’m really really quite digging it:
“Bells Of Harlem” by Dave Rawlings
Heart in Oregon: Katy + Ryan
The last storyteller was from Luckenbach, Texas, now we’re back to the Northwest.
As soon as I saw Katy + Ryan pull up in their Subaru with a giant Oregon Heart sticker on the back, I knew they’d be a great pair to interview. (=

The Last Lecture
Two things about me:
#1 – I am always going in 10 different directions with about 20 things on my mind, so anything able to maintain my attention for more than a few minutes is impressive.
#2 – In my opinion, there are two main approaches to everything in life (lectures, relationships, data, conversations, body language, movies, etc.) #1 – The analytical approach & #2 The emotional approach. I’ve found that 9 times out of 10, I instinctively follow approach #1 – analytical as in taking a step back and removing myself from the situation to “make a rational decision.” (and yes, I would say that’s debatable)
The point is, because of this, when something can hold my attention and really reach me on an emotional level…I say wow…that’s impressive.

On that note-here’s the video…
