Just a note, have been listening to Joss Stone and Winton Marsallis, Leeanne Womack and Trick Pony.
A few recent reads are Real Simple Magazine, Lireal by Nix, Drawn to the Rhythm by Sarah Hall ( utterly amazing read, blew me away, makes me want to learn to row).
Currently reading Somebodies to Nobodies, Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover, All things Bright and Beautiful by Harriot.
