I used to call my daughter "Fish". Not sure why. She doesn't like it anymore, but she's OK with "Squid" or "Squidling". Go figure.

This is one of the few albums that Kotke sings on that I've ever hear, on "Me and Pamela Brown" . What a great guitarist, deep voice.

Where I live it absolutely NEVER rains in February. We woke up last night to hard steady rain and it's been doing it for hours, right in to our late morning coffee. Didn't want to interfere with the rain sound, but I finally turn on the radio to...Nick Drake and Leo Kottke. Life is good.

Wow... where do you live? Where I live, it ALWAYS rains in February.

(and November, December, January, March, April, May, June, September, October...)

Beautiful tune. And an amazing set with more awesome jangly guitar than you can shake a stick at. And that's quite a lot.

Something very not of this place, this daiy routine of A to B. To me this tune takes me somewhere else, neither here or there, and I like it, and so the good people did cheer . . . "Hoo Rah".

Well, the selection is magical, Leo. But the title ... really. Cheapens things a little.

Bring on the recipes for all that yummy food. (And I'm still trying to roast the perfect turkey. Please - PM me with the recipes for ALL of that bounty. And please, do it to this song, because it's rather awesome...)

Cant stand a whole album. But one song from time to time is fine!
