Pirates for Whidbey Island.
I try not to post a lot of political views on the blog, but this video struck home in too many ways to ignore. It makes me very scared for the future.
Occupy Whidbey Island?
One of the first concerts Rene & I ever saw was Harry Chapin, live at Whitworth College in Spokane. Harry played solo that evening - his band was stranded in Seattle, and he had flown in separately with just his practice guitar. He gave us one hell of a concert anyway.
This video is from the same time period as that tour - and catches Harry at his best. Very similar to how we saw him. One of our best storytellers, he is missed.

Smoosh is one of my favorites. They write all their own songs, and are really starting to come into their own. Interesting history, excellent musicianship, down to earth attitudes. Keep your eye out for them, they'll be big-time someday.
