What he’s looking for won’t be found in a building, not even that one.

Narragansett town beach today ahead of the Nor’easter. Not many surfers out, but seeing lots of out of state vehicles with surf boards all along the coast.

Plenty of beach erosion already yesterday ahead of the nor’easter. We’ll see what today brings.

Sound bath at Beavertail State Park tonight. Fantastic spot for a meditative experience with gentle ocean sounds on 3 sides. These pics are from another sound bath there on the night of a full moon.

Ratdog played a set at the Newport Folk Festival on Aug 5, 1995 - literally the days between. I remember the sky and the vibe but not necessarily the music. Archive.org has it and stand outs for me include City Girls, Eternity and Rob’s bass solo with hints of Hendrix. archive.org/details/rd19...

Today at work I learned of a 1950 short story by Ray Bradbury set 76 years in the future on Aug 04 2026. thephilosopher.net/bredberi/wp-... The future he imagined did not happen, but after reading it I felt the need to listen to a dark and moody Morning Dew www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIDB...

Some of my favorite pictures from around the Newport Folk Festival taken in recent years. At the Fort Stage, the view the fans have is fabulous, but the view the artists have is spectacular.

One thing I like about Newport Folk is the mixing of the generations of fans and artists. If you are a younger folk artist acknowledging a legend with a song, that legend may just come out and join you on stage! youtu.be/kwCdPZJ8nuM

Looking forward to Newport Folk Festival next week. I’ve seen many of my favorite artists there over the last 35 years and many more artists that were new to me. I don’t have many pictures from before the iPhone came along, but here are my favorite shots - Crosby, Stills and Nash from 2004.
