Root Down in the Shadow

Much to the chagrin of one of my all-time best friends Karl, my memories of 'Root Down' are not really from driving around with him, but instead younger bro Kenny in the maroon Dodge Shadow.  The Senkow experience was really a shared collective.  You were expected to live life to the fullest, and enjoy yourself along the way.  This was probably best shown by their dad who still did his best to do cheerleading exercises with their sibling, Kirsten, despite being at least twice her age. Karl and I shared a great love for the Beastie Boys, and "our" disc was the Root Down EP .   Check Your Head and Ill Communication were memories most associated with another all time great pal,"Bud", and ' Paul's Boutique ' were college memories with my old roomie Brandt, likewise '' Licensed To Ill ' is shared with the rest of the world.  But as any collective goes, it's the parts are interchangeable.  Karl went onto follow his love to Florida, ...

The original artist is Joe Henry.  I qualify this, because the Madonna version actually came out first on an album, but Joe H...

As many of you know, much of my life has revolved around listening to music, searching for more and sharing what I've found.  Ironically, I do nothing in the field, except hover in the shadows of those that do.  The time spent sharing my love of music has dwindled due to this whole growing up thing.  However my love for music and time thinking of it has yet to dwindle. Other variables in my life are starting to change yet again, opening up the ever so exciting thoughts of what I'm going to do new or different.  With these changes, I've become even more inspired for change listening to an Avett Brothers' song - 'Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise'.         When nothing is owed or deserved or expected         And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected         If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected     ...
