Black Dahlia

Summer is here, in all it's over heated intensity. Not much has been happening on the Patagonia River Campaign front, and here at home I am holding down the rural living front, appreciating the living things all around me, such as the early blooming black dahlia in my yard.

I continue to volunteer at KMUD radio, and will do my Black Dahlia Manyhues Radio special tonight at midnight. Either listen live or check out the KMUD archives.

Material for tonights show includes pieces from the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival which, despite some rare and weird moments, was quite a cool weekend gig. Regardless, the best music of that weekend was the Seun Kuti gig I saw at the Mateel Community Center. A great show by a very interesting and articulate artist.

More than two months have passed since I posted anything at this blog. Just goes to show how exciting travel down to South America can be. Here at home I just try to work hard, be smart about water, and make sure everything is fire safe.

The occasional radio shift is a cool outlet. Otherwise, I am keeping a keen eye on the craziness of a world long off it's rocker.

In the meantime, Patagonia's rivers still run free. That is certainly a relief!
