Today's Happy Hour Soundtrack

Some dobro playin'... of a rather spectacular sort... from Jerry Douglas:

Somewhere around the 2:30 mark in this medley Douglas launches into his take on one of my favorite Allman Bros instrumentals... "Little Martha"... and delivers a brief but compelling version of same.  I was just gonna link the Allmans but since we're here...

This is one of my all-time favorite tunes, for reasons I've never been able to articulate.  The song hit me the very first time I heard it and has stayed with me to this very day.  The playin' is simply superb and evokes deep, deep feelings within me.  Some day I may stumble on the whys and wherefores... but for the moment it's just something to enjoy.  I hope you take the time to listen to one or the other, Gentle Reader.

The tune fits the weather around here of late.  We're in that oh-so-brief seasonal moment where sitting outside is most comfortable; which is to say sitting in full sun clad only in a sweatshirt to ward off the seasonal chill, and basking in the weak warmth of that autumnal sun that graces us on days like this.  These days need to be snatched up with no hesitation or regret because the snow is not far behind and we shall find ourselves housebound for the duration.  I'm not looking forward to that, no matter how brief the experience may be.

Fall.  I love it.
