Iris DeMent

I was looking for some things on Youtube and found that there are quite a few videos of Iris DeMent on there.  I didn’t realize there were so many.

I think “Our Town” was the first song I ever heard from her.  I remember it was the closing finale of the series “Northern Exposure”; and that may be where I first heard her.  She is still one of my favorites.  I have seen her several times including on the NPR show “Mountain Stage”.

Here is “Our Town”

Winter Storm

Well…they’ve cancelled the winter storm warning for my immediate area and replaced it with an advisory.  It’s now calling for possibly 1-2 inches of snow with sleet and ice possible.

WV Is Calling

The videos I linked to in the last post are actually pretty interesting.  I’ve always wanted to ride the trains in the fall and there are a couple of vids about that. The one on the first page about the caboose camping is pretty neat.  Just about a month ago, at one of my clients’ homes, the couple and myself were talking about the trains and he mentioned the caboose camping.  He said one of his acquaintances did that ride and thoroughly enjoyed it.

In the one “the best of wv” there are several places I have been.  I camped near Seneca Rock with Jana and Satomi in 2000 or 2001.  We hiked in 3 miles from the car. It also shows the North Bend Rail Trail; which is where the paternal farm is.  North Bend State Park is right next to it and I was told that part of the park border once belonged to the family.   Rhillai and I have fished a few of the places in the state and Cooper’s Rock is where he and I visited recently.  It’s also the place where Sharyn and my b.i.l. and myself rode last year in the fall. I have pictures posted of that ride and I blogged about it.

I haven’t looked through all the videos, yet.  But, I will look at more later.  It’s pretty interesting.  Some are better made than others.  Some are humorous.  Some very well made.

The Weepies

I think I might have posted about “The Weepies” awhile back. I had heard a song on a show and liked it.  So, I looked it up.  It was….. can’t remember the name… but something about “Nobody Knows Me.”

During the last couple of weeks, I saw three different commercials that had a woman’s voice that I liked.  I thought they were possibly all the same person… but couldn’t place them to a name.  I looked them all up…… and…….. they are all by “The Weepies.”

Here’s “All That I Want”

UPDATE:

Here’s “Nobody Knows Me At All”
