To me, Kris is one of the greats, a songwriting giant. 55 years is a great run. I saw him once at the Philly Folk Fest. I was there to play one day, the Saturday, and he was the mainstage headliner. What luck for me. Solo, dressed in black t-shirt and jeans and slightly out of tune on a beautiful Gibson acoustic (but it didn't matter), he just held the stage and played his literate moving tunes, and a few of his subversive political ones. This article tells why he's hanging them up, not that he needs to explain at 84. If you want to hear a great song of his...and a fitting one, this one - This Old Road - is worth a bunch of listens. https://youtu.be/sU_tjb0MceY

View up the stairs tonight.

A new chapter begins every day, but particularly today. Get on that ship. https://open.spotify.com/track/4UC07iddHUiXkabvS6rtHc

Ruby, steadfast and sturdy.
