With the second anniversary of Tom Keith’s unexpected passing retreating all too quietly as winter approaches, I’m reminded there’s one CD in our home that keeps both my eight year old son and my sixty-nine year old mother-in-law in stitches, consistently, and on any given listen.

I’ve been wanting to listen to the Mysterious Press-HighBridge Audio Classics recording of Thomas H.

A recent road trip provided the perfect opportunity for me to […]

September 5th, 2013 · No Comments · Uncategorized

I am not a birder, but most days I spend a fleeting moment paying them special attention. Why not? There they are, pleasant to see, hear and be near.
