The impetus, for what has now become a series, was my discovery of an old vinyl record by Maggie Bell. I came across it going through one of my many purge cycles. Suicide Sal, released in 1975, was my introduction to the blues….I just didn’t know it then. I wasn’t in the habit of labeling types of music in my younger years, I just knew what I liked.

With the beginning of summer comes actual summer, and with that comes summer traditions. Everyone has some; the things they can only do when the weather is warm and the sun is out. This weekend I completed two summer traditions – a cottage trip with my mother, and my annual rereading of Jane Austen’s Price and Prejudice.
