From the thoughts of cutting rough slab maple for guitars with my brother phil in new brunswick, to the tall pines of the sierra that fill my mind on the return from last weeks romp at the strawberry music fest, I delve into trees on the hill, woodshops and carpenter haunts on the show this saturday... Its kinda a gum tree canoe day with dawgwood a blooming while strange on the range woodworking and thinkin' that if i were a carpenter like grandpa was i might be able to do the redwood waltz.. so with choppin' wood and listening to van the man morrison, i will be thinking of that maple tree, the ghost tree, and the maplewood. And i will go back to climbing trees and norwegian wood... If that doesn't suffice for the playlist, then i will remain up a tree my little carpenter... And, thankx to the tall trees and kates wolfs reminder of the "sweet smell of pines"... you all be well and enjoy... lator - jim
