Easter Sunday

It was such a pleasant Easter Sunday.
I enjoyed dinner with my mother and two of my uncles.
I walked over to my moms house and, along the way, I stopped at the creek and took quite a few bright photographs with blue water that was cold to the touch.
I arrived at dinner just on time without more than two minutes to spare.

Today I Sang (Because I Needed Filler Content)

Although it was a much cooler day,
I did very much enjoy being outside as I acquired
enough photographs and videos to build the video that I really wanted.
'Great Flood' is the first video that have I sang on.
 I know there will be more music but, I have no idea what  style will be represented in my production.
I was aiming toward hard rock.

The Continual Interest

It is not far from the bottom to the top of the large hills in the area of Endicott, NY.
 I walk on hard surfaced roads at  the bottom of small valleys that are numerous in number.
As the ice melts, the streams churn with water producing an audible omnidirectional sound of a torrent that breaks the bright silence of the day.
At the top of the large hills, the wind blows against the inferior Birch trees as they bend not only at the branches but, at the trunk as well. As the trees bend, the creaking sound becomes muffled and at times, sounds like distant muffled voices.

Earl Scruggs (1924-2012)

With the passing of Earl Scruggs,
I thought this would be a good time to set everything else aside
and listen to some of his highly significant contribution to bluegrass music.
