Before the Sycamore tree drops its leaves it sheds its bark. Seneca Street is lined with these trees and a homeowner was raking up the bark as we rode by.
Getting exercise while doing errands feels especially satisfactory. My cymbals have cut a hole through the bottom of my cymbal bag so it was time for a new case. We rode over to the House of Guitars and on the way we stopped at the new library and found a few dvds to take home. Turns out we had already seen Neil Young’s “Journeys,” the Jonathan Demme movie of his 2010 solo show in Toronto, but it was even better the second time. Young puts it all on the line, insuring great performances of old song while risking it all by performing brand new ones. I love the incredible close-ups, the mundane backstage footage and the banter with his brother in their home town. Tonight we watch “Gimme Shelter.”
Bruce cut me a deal on an Ultimate Support bag. It comes with straps so you can wear it on your back and I did that on the way home. Of course we had stop and pick up some sweet corn at Vercruysse’s, just down the road on Titus. They have the best corn we have ever had. No salt, no butter, just the ears!
