7.1: The juniper bends as if you were listening

Give me your hand
Your mother is drunk as all the firemen shake
A photo from father’s arms
Cinder and smoke
You’ll ask me to pray for rain
With ash in your mouth
You’ll ask it to burn again

I’m trying to learn “Cinder and Smoke” by Iron and Wine this week. It’s only 3 chords (Am, Dm+7, and Em) but the picking pattern is a little complicated.

I think next week will be “Sunset Soon Forgotten.”

And love is the best endeavor waiting in the lion’s mane

OK, it’s not really a selfie. Mike took this picture. But it’s Sam Beam and me, so dammit, it’s my shot for the day. He was totally fucking cool. We probably talked for 5 or 10 minutes before he went on. I told him about Whiskerino and how much all the guys in the contest just love him and he thought that was pretty funny.
