over the rhine.

even if you don't know or like over the rhine's music... you should still sign up for their e-newsletters.

and if you don't know of them, you should start by listening to their album, "ohio".  but we can talk more about their music later.

as for the newsletters, linford's prose is so beautiful.  the simplest stories and thoughts flow out of him the way wendell berry's books pour out into his readers' proverbial hearts. 

my favorite quote from the latest one: "try to re-dream the past and remember the future."

if i have piqued your interest, you can read the latest here: http://www.overtherhine.com/letters.php.
