The Beloved Book of Psalms speaks walking through the valley the shadow of death. The Book of Psalms is also acknowledged as a book of songs of faith. Sometimes, when we walk through the valley, we need a song to carry us through... Try Trusting the Muse.....in the Rippling Waters tab...   Every once in a while a record comes along that is more than just music, more than a collection of well-written songs.

 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!
 It is mid-November and Cary Morin is relaxed and smiling, sitting outside The Daily, a restaurant located in a section of Richmond, Virginia known as Carytown.

He is confident and satisfied with the results of his newest effort, When I Rise. Seated next to him is a radiant Celeste Di lorio Morin, his manager and bride.
