#118 – Love In The Library

It’s summer, and it’s warm, and while Montana’s August heat and mild humidity cannot compare to the sweltering summer heat of the gulf coast, it’s probably a given that most everyone can appreciate quiet and cool, such as in sheltered libraries or because of the gentle night breeze and midnight drive that brought this song to my attention last night. One of Jimmy’s more gentle songs, as sweet as it is surreal and sublime, hiding in a cool corner with a good book and a good song, seems quite appropriate. Love In The Library is the song that is calling out to be shared this month.

#72 – Fruitcakes

I think Fruitcakes is one of those great songs that Jimmy wrote. It’s funny, it’s irreverent, it’s honest, and it has a fun sound that makes you just want to sing and dance along. This song is a treasure trove of crafty lyrics and real life. It lets us know it’s okay to be a bit different because there are other fruitcakes out there too. They are in the kitchen, they are on the street, and you can feel like you are all one big fruitcake family.
