I don't know why seniors would still check this blog, BUT, if you are, I have a present for you. I made CDs for my senior students of some sweet, sweet tunes for the summer. It kicks off with The Avett Brothers (above) and their song At The Beach, and there is not a better song out there to start the summer with. It also features Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues, which is where the image below is from. It was essentially the first music video, with Dylan tossing down cue cards with the lyrics written on them. It the pictured image, the line is: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." That's poet Allen Ginsberg in the background. Also featured are Wilco, Warren Zevon, Nickel Creek, and Nina Simone (above), the coolest woman eva. Swing on by this week so I can hook you up. Supplies are limited - get 'em while they're hot!
