I have seen Iris Dement live several times, including on “The Mountain Stage”. One of those appearances was when I took my mother and a family friend to the show, about 4 hours from my home.
One of the songs done that evening was an excellent version of “The Long Black Veil” everyone did to close the show. I have checked from time-to-time to get that song, as it was not a part of the broadcast version.
Recently, I went to the official web site and discovered their podcast Digital Archives Project; an effort to make available over 800 shows in digital format. They are releasing the shows on podcast and need additional help in funding the project. I sent them a small donation for the project and I encourage you to also contribute.

The Arctic wolf inches towards you. Like you, he is torn between fear and curiosity. His instinct leads him towards the scent of your leather boots. Your instinct is to reach out to this curious white canine. Suddenly, he snarls, and you’re face to face with a wild animal. For years, photographer Jim Brandenburg has observed lone wolves by moonlight, Arctic wolves leaping onto ice floes, and wolves hunting and foraging for food. Packs of gray wolves surround his house in Minnesota. Let him lea

I have always loved photos of wolves — Timber wolf pictures in particular. At one point, I was collecting posters, photos, magazine articles, etc. There are a couple that stand out in my memory. I even wanted to try to get a tattoo of a wolf head in a natural, realistic pose; not one of the vicious, raging poses so many people like. I looked for natural poses to use to adorn my motorcycle, but wasn’t able to find anything I like.
So, since I’m on the topic of wolf photos, here are a few wolf pictures from Flickr, along with their comments from the photographers.
Enjoy!

Wolves are stunningly beautiful creatures, even in the rain. I had the huge privilege of having a wolf sniff my hand, through a wire fence, on Wednesday (thank you again, Lillian, for arranging this for us!). It was a memorable and moving experience.
