"Enjoy the end of September folks."
"Three old ones.
Earlier in the week I read a quote from a 1950s school book which read... “On my journey I didn’t know where I was going, when I got there I didn’t know where I was, and when I came back I didn’t know where I’d been” - 'Christopher Columbus'.
Which coincided with a report that Paul Simon has a new album out. He wrote some pretty good songs over the years."
America by Simon and Garfunkel -
Penny Reel by Eric 'Monty' Morris -
I Get The Blues When It Rains by Big Bill Broonzy -

Best wishes to all, hoping we all enjoy the last of this slightly wonky Indian summer."

"Hi, firstly a big thanks to all of you RPMers for letting me join in and the tremendous variety and quality of music you have all exposed me to. Knocked me right out of my comfort zone for sure !
For the past couple of weeks I have been tunnel and ferry hopping around the beautiful Faroe Islands so my music has been limited to streaming where I could get free Internet. Its been a great chance to catch up on past RPM lists.
This weekend the free festival in Golden Gate Park Hardly Strictly Bluegrass returns for it's 22nd year. I was lucky enough to see the man who gave the festival to the people of San Francisco (and beyond) Warren Hellman play with Jimmie Dale Gilmore a few short weeks before he died in 2011. And here are 3 more shows I saw over the years."
"First up, John Prine. I believe this was a Friday afternoon show opener..."
Paradise by John Prine with Steve Earle -
"...next, The Flats (as the Texans call them) always closed out one of the stages on the Saturday evening."
Dallas by the Flatlanders -
"And finally my favourite part of the weekend, Sunday morning with Kane, Welch and Kaplin."
Postcard From Mexico by Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch and Fats Kaplin -

"That's All Folks ."
"Hi everyone, hope all is good with you. Here’s my 3 this week."
The Rip by Portishead -
Check Out My New Jesus by Joy Zipper -
Dance by ESG -
"Over the last few weeks I have been re-watching on DVD the excellent American/Canadian co-production "Hell On Wheels" (filmed in Alberta), and I am about 2/3 of the way through season 2. It's one of a number of significant revisionist Westerns made for TV this century, including the excessively sweary "Deadwood," the superb "The Son" (based on Philipp Meyer's brilliant source novel with Mr. Meyer's full involvement as a writer and co-producer), and the recent British contribution starring Emily Blunt, "The English."
Thus this week I have chosen the theme music from "Hell On Wheels" and two songs included on the soundtrack."
Hell On Wheels opening theme by Kevin Kiner -
Soul of a Man performed by David Lindley -
Annabel performed by The Duhks - "...a Canadian folk group of long standing who are new to me."

"Best wishes."
"Hi Everyone. As I mentioned last week, I was off to Burnham Deepdale for four days of music, poetry, beer, food and good company at the increasingly wonderful Deepdale Festival. A great weekend in superb surroundings with a fantastic atmosphere - good vibes all round! My three for this week are from acts I particularly enjoyed, but I will also give honourable mentions to the following who were also thoroughly entertaining: Kathryn Williams and Band, Chris Cleverly, Good Habits, Michele Stoddart, Anto Morra, Mishra, Lewis Buxton (Toast Poetry), Brooke Telling, Robert Vincent (and his band) and Chad Mason."
New Capri by Jacob & Drinkwater -
Bonfire Night by Feathered Thorns -
Fight For Everyone by The Leisure Society -
"Just two from me this week. The first by an artist we caught at the Deepdale Festival on Sunday — a really lovely day, made even better by catching up with John of this parish. The second I heard performed acapella in a pub. With best wishes to you all."
Oh Captain! Guide Me Home by Amelia Coburn -
Waiting For The Lark by Bill Caddick -
"Here's three that caught my attention this week..."
"...some 80s neo prog..."
Circus by Pendragon - "Contemporaries to the likes of Marillion, Pallas, IQ, Twelfth Night and Solstice, Pendragon were the band who for me, straight from the off, had their own voice i.e. vocally not Mr Gabriel's or musically, not early era Genesis. Here's the band's take on that favourite prog metaphor for life."
"...then an old one from 'Guitar Town'..."
Hillbilly Highway by Steve Earle -
"...and lastly some stompingly great original English folk."
Watt's Reel by Granny's Attic - "A new tune written by the trio's fiddle player Lewis Wood and found on their rather super 'The Brickfields' album."
'Til Next Time...
