An Introduction

Welcome to Common Time Vermont! This blog will celebrate music in all its forms: live, recorded and spontaneous. I drive a lot, giving me the chance to listen to new music on Sirius, or choice CDs. I wake up every morning to a new slice of vinyl: this morning was Guy Clark's album about Texas. As the sun poured across this cabin this morning, the pedal steel echoed against the brick chimney, and the mild swing beat lulled me into morning. Outside, the leaves transform the hills these days, painting them each with a brush of orange, gold and brown tints, until each hill has gone bald with winter, and the leaves are driven underground by snow. Guy Clark sang of the coast of Texas as the sun rose, to burn off the chill of an autumn morning in Vermont.
