Mountain music with a twist of Irish. I love that stuff, especially after a shot of the recipe.

Hi Bill,

I thought i should direct your attention to the new Neil Young album.

I heard a review of it recently on npr. The concept album is called "Fork in the Road" and it is about alternative energy and automobiles.
It got good reviews and is sure to have some old dog and some exotic women in there somewhere.

I heard one song on the radio, "Johnny Magic" i think it is called _- it is about some guy who made an old lincoln continental into a battery operated car. It is quirky and catchy.

Check it out.

I have come to the conclusion that nobody embodies the true independant American spirit like the people of Appalachia. Think about it. Why do you think they have been painted as backwards, backwoods, ignorant people? Their fierce independance, that's why. Who else would have a "Whiskey Rebellion" a mere two years after the revolutionary war was won? And who else would stand up to Peabody Coal like they did? Not the people in Dartmouth, that's for sure. I'm no motorhead but the origins of NASCAR

Anyone else think that Earl Scruggs bears a slight resemblance to Ed I?
