Song Review: Tim O’Brien & Friends - “Maggie’s Farm” (Live)

Fairly shouting, Tim O’Brien had just a touch of Bob Dylan in his voice as he led his Friends through “Maggie’s Farm” at the 2024 Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots Festival.

It was a big band, steered by the twin fiddles of Brittany Haas and Shad Cobb, anchored by Mike Bub’s bass and leaving room for solos on Andrew Marlin’s mandolin, O’Brien’s guitar and Justin Moses’ banjo.

O’Brien delivered Dylan’s words expertly as Jan Fabricius added harmonies with help from a lyrics sheet. She wasn’t the only one winging it, as O’Brien called solos and extra measures from the fiddlers and tossed in a line about not workin’ on the railroad either.

Such looseness would flummox lesser musicians. Tim O’Brien & Friends thrived on it.

That Wrecking Ball

The song, That Wrecking Ball, hits home particularly with me today as I listened to it for perhaps the 100th time

I love the music of Watchhouse, (fka Mandolin Orange). Watchhouse is Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz. Their newest, Album, Austin City Limits Live, is a great example of their music. I’m not sure that I always understand the meaning of all their songs and their lyrics, but I resonate with it. I am not a lover of the postmodern theory of interpretation. I think that we should strive to understand…

Song Review: Mighty Poplar - “Chico River” (Live, 2023)

Mighty Poplar summoned the power of quietude to deliver a devastating performance of “Chico River” at the 2023 Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots festival.

Now out on professional video, the bluegrass supergroup’s rendering of Mapache’s number is astonishing in its finesse as mandolinist Andrew Marlin, guitarist Chris Eldridge and bassist Greg Garrison climb to the top of their ranges on the chorus:

Abigail/Abigail

The mic into which they sing also serves as the band’s amp, to which fiddler Alex Hargreaves, then Marlin, then banjoist Noam Pikelny move closer so their respective, pre-chorus solos can be dispersed to the audience.

It ends with Marlin and Eldridge weaving a soft, delicate tapestry that flirts with silence. It leaves the audience hushed and the band smiling in quiet, hard-earned, self-satisfaction.

Gospel Shoes

The art of music has a way of moving us and conveying messages that might not be as well received more directly and bluntly spoken

Blindfaller by Watchhouse What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? …. God will judge those outside….1 corinthians 5:12,13 Paul wrote these words to the Corinthians while urging them to deal with sexual immorality in the church that was so bad it would not have been tolerated by pagans. (1 Corinthians 5:1) I am reminded of these words that Paul wrote as I listen to Gospel…

[baseballupdates]

The D-backs made their first move to fortify the bullpen, agreeing to a trade with the Marlins for left-hander A.J. Puk, a source told MLB.com's Christina De Nicola on Thursday night. The Marlins will receive Arizona's No. 14 prospect Deyvison De Los Santos, and No. 30 prospect Andrew Pintar in the trade, per a source.

A FINDING NEMO Memory or Two

FINDING NEMO was one of the first films I actually really anticipated a long while before its release.

As a kid, I would often start anticipating movies once I saw a trailer in theaters during one of my frequent movie theater visits, and then that would be it. Whenever I was on the Internet, I wasn't frequenting movie news sites or anything like that. If anything, the release of FINDING NEMO had me going on those sites more often to see what was coming. What the news was...

I first saw concept art for FINDING NEMO in a DK-published hardcover book called DISNEY: THE ULTIMATE VISUAL GUIDE. I had gotten it as a birthday gift in October 2002. I was immersed into that book, a chronological tour through Disney feature film and even park history, throwing in television stuff as well. The page spreads so inviting, and so many great images and stills from the movies, made for really well put-together arrangements. My well worn-out copy is still with me.

The final page spread detailed movies then slated for 2003 and 2004... Only concept art for FINDING NEMO appeared, no stills from the actual movie. The images depicted were Nemo peaking out from behind a coral, Marlin and Dory looking at Sydney Opera House, and a long stretch of Nemo inside the dentist office fish tank. These images completely engrossed me. Just this colorful fish movie, incoming: I always had a thing for the underwater world anyways, between the many animal books I had as a kid to the nature documentaries I'd often see on like Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and such. I was taken to two big aquariums in home state every year or so, and was always fascinated and mesmerized by all those tanks, all that aquatic life. I had PC games about it, and there was also - semi-related - that Titanic phase I went through... The ocean, the sea, it's all very neat.

(As an add-on, the other movies on that page spread were PIGLET'S BIG MOVIE, THE JUNGLE BOOK 2, HOME ON THE RANGE, and BROTHER BEAR back when it was called "BEARS".)

Then, I got MONSTERS, INC. on DVD for Christmas... And when I saw that a teaser trailer for the movie was ON THERE?? I watched it over and over, along with just about everything else on that 2-disc DVD set...

I was all about FINDING NEMO, and I caught it on opening weekend... and loved it so much, I saw it two more times in theaters, which is something I rarely got to do as a kid back in the day. Then I was somehow able to rent it the Friday before its Tuesday DVD release. Rented it, over and over, til I got the DVD and VHS for Christmas. At the time, I didn't have a DVD player in my room, it was only in the family room and my mum's room... So the VHS sufficed, despite no bonus features! In early 2004, after winning a $200 gift card to Circuit City (lol, remember that? No? You might be a young'un reading this!) from a spelling bee, I bought an extension for my Xbox - which I also got for Christmas - that allowed me to play DVDs in my room. Yes, we kids/preteens of the early 2000s had it rough, haha.

On a personal note, this movie came out when my life was in a weird flux, and I was in a part of growing older that didn't go so smoothly. Not to divulge too much, but when you're autistic, neurodivergent, and you're coming of age in the early aughts... Not the nicest time, for sure... Yeah, things weren't easy... And at the end of the year, when the movie was finally out on DVD, I was going through a very big family loss. My first one, really... So, I really gotta hand it to FINDING NEMO for being one of the things that really helped get me through all of it... Just keep swimming, indeed...

Similarly, director Andrew Stanton's sophomore Pixar effort, WALL-E, got me through another tough time in my younger days...

I would say FINDING NEMO and MONSTERS, INC. made me fall in love with the work coming out of Pixar, especially in those early days when it was the movies being made exclusively by the Lasseter circle. As a little kid, I wasn't really that much into the TOY STORY movies, but I did like A BUG'S LIFE and played the PlayStation game quite a bit. MONSTERS, INC. I remember being a blur in the theaters for other reasons... But I asked for MONSTERS, INC. on video the year after because I did remember enjoying the door vault chase, so that was enough to make me want the disc and to watch it again. I got the DVD that Christmas, and as said earlier, I think the combination of that film, the FINDING NEMO teaser and the NEMO concept art in the DISNEY: THE ULTIMATE VISUAL GUIDE book turned me into a cultist for the Luxo lamp in December 2002, haha.

Then I went back to TOY STORY and TOY STORY 2, which I had on VHS, and gave those a proper re-watch. Now that I was 10, knew what computer animation was and how it was made, and having more of an appreciation for the way visual stories were told than I did at - say - age 6 or even 8... And I fell in love with both. Then I rented A BUG'S LIFE over and over until I was able to buy the DVD... I wanna say it was sometime in 2003, maybe early 2004, but it was the "Collector's" set DVD that promoted FINDING NEMO with a giant sticker on the shiny slipcover. Hell, if I remember correctly, I bought it at a Suncoast Motion Picture Company outlet in a mall... Back when there were more than... 4 of those across the country!

And then some 9 years later, I went and saw the 3D re-release... Surprisingly, for a movie made in 2003, it was converted wonderfully to 3D. The 3D actually added a very subtle but very immersive depth of field to many of the underwater scenes, it looked fantastic. So yes, I saw FINDING NEMO four times in theaters. I'd probably see it a fifth if it gets re-released for whatever reason, again.

It's a favorite of mine.

Hey, I once did a video essay on it, too!

Happy 20th Anniversary.
