Commentary:
It’s a short playlist this week -- not only because of last weekend’s flooding, but also because we made a quick to a trip to Kansas City to see my mom for Mother’s Day. Every time we go out there we try to get to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, which houses one of the country’s great collections (photograph). This time we took my sister and slowly made our way chronologically through the museum and it was interesting to stop and look closely at works I normally would zip right past (e.g. most anything pre-20th Century). Molly has recently developed an interest in art and we thought it would be useful to make a historical survey so as to see the development of art practice through the ages and (perhaps) provide her with some context for some of the weirdo abstract art that we love so much. I don’t know how successful we were on that front, but it was a lot of fun! There are more photos from the museum on my Flickr photostream, if you’re interested.
BR5-49? Man I am ignorant--who are they?

BR5-49 were a great Nashville country band who broke up shortly after we moved here. They were the real deal. Apparently, they could play the entire Hank Williams songbook and more. Perhaps they were TOO country for Nashville as they never really broke through. Too bad.
