Subject: Something wicked cool happened yesterday
So I go fetch my nephew, the boy who once arrived with a CD by some band named Limp Bizkit, and I tell him he's in charge of the CDs. I know I'm safe, because they're my CDs. Granted, some of them would drive Bill D and Kendall straight up a wall, but I digress. Anyway, he picks through them, making choices based on cover art. Some Altan, followed by The Clash, and then we hit pay dirt. He hauls out Johnny Cash and several tracks into the CD Ring of Fire comes on. Next thing I know, me, the boy and Johnny Cash are belting out Ring of Fire together.

Today, I took him to my favorite music store, where I bought him his own Johnny Cash CD. We also walked out with Singing Through the Hard Times, which I had to put on so he could hear Kendall sing Phoebe Snow and Jacqui sing Miner's Lullaby. We'll turn that boy into a folkie yet!
