Friday Music

Recorded and released in 1968 this song is singularly the best and most recognized of any piece recorded by The Band.  Its influence was even greater over time and endures to the present day.       

It occupies the 41^st place on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognizes it as one of 500 songs that significantly Shaped Rock and Roll.     

This is a particularly nice cover of The Weight…..

Smoke Em If You Got Em

Knocked another rack of baby back ribs out of the  park with the slow 'n sear today. 

Look at the smoke ring thru and thru. 

This set up is a smoked meat game changer!

Join The Movement

Headstart

From one of our daily mile-long walks there was this.

For sure there's a trail camera in the photo - yet that's not the point.

If you look carefully there is an oak seeding that has taken root at the base of the tree the camera is strapped-to.  

That tree is a green ash.  And it is doomed to the depredations of the emerald ash borer.

Ma Nature is a smart mother to allow that oak the opportunity to become established. 

Ash is gonna strike-out.

Oak is in the one deck circle.

Canada Day

Raising a toast to our friendly neighbors across the northern border frontier         

Happy Canada Day

And, Just Say OV           

À votre santé!

Betrayed

It simply doesn't get more impactful than this.....

Cult

In further news, Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee called on the president to set a better example by occasionally covering his face.  The Republican senator lamented that wearing a mask has become part of the political debate.  

Wearing a mask - while not 100% - does contribute to slowing the spread of contagion. And it is in our economic self interests to bend the curve.
   

Wash your hands    

Don’t touch your face     

Don’t be a spreader      

If you’re indoors and cannot practice social distancing - help everyone and wear a mask     

Don’t be a Branch Covidian
