Waxing Familiar

On the heels of last night's Phil Wickham show (a mind-numbingly LOUD show, by the way), Ray LaMontagne has a big claim to my weekend, with a listening party tonight (featuring his new record, Gossip in the Grain -- see my Lost Art Form: The Listening Party 10.9.08 post) and Sunday night's concert at the Ryman. Is there a particular reason for the (re)appearance of the photo above, you may wonder? Yes -- because it's beautiful.
