In August of 2009, my brother, Kyle, and I took an amazing two week driving trip from Rapid City, South Dakota to Seattle, Washington. We met many warm and friendly people and took in some of the unbelievably beautiful sights that the northwestern states have to offer. A very sweet lady, who ran one of the campsites we visited, recommended we look for wild horses on our way up to Cody. She said, “You can tell they’re wild horses by their long and flowing manes. They’ve never been trimmed.” She was right. We could see them from the road and, after a hair-rasing miscue that I will not detail here (short story: 2 rattlesnakes), we found the road into the reserve, where we carefully hiked to see the mustangs.The music is a live performance that I recorded in January, 2010.
Anne Heaton composed the music - I believe the lyrics are borrowed from a poem . This touching rendition was done at Sub Rosa, a monthly musical gathering at Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, Massachusetts. That was my first Sub Rosa experience - I will never forget that show and I believe this song will stay with me for years to come.

During her 2008 trip to Italy, Colleen noticed that the cityscapes were timeless – only a few clues, such as cell phones, would tell a viewer when the photo was taken. Delighting in this, she has gathered a series of images that capture the romance and enduring simplicity of urban life in Rome, Florence and Venice. These images tell the story through architecture and landscape, as a remarkable testament to Italian culture and history.
