 L-R Guy Davis, yours truly, Eric Bibb. From a couple of years ago at the Black Rock Theater. Welcome to all who visit here! For new visitors I thought a little explanation might be good. This site is about music, roots music. I want to encourage you to leave comments. Share your memories or thoughts on music, what you love, what you don't, what moves you. I have divided the site into pages. This is the main page where I will post what's new. The tabs above are as follows: Just Sayin' is the artist interview page, Rippling Waters is where I post random thoughts, The Listening Room is for record reviews, and Playing With Fire is the page for live concert reviews. You can respond to anything you like. Some advice, be respectful. Also, this site is joyfully politics-free, and I plan to keep it that way. Feel free to dig through the archives. Share your musical memories, let's start a dialogue!
