Coffee & Crossroads
This morning, I’m enjoying two of my favorite things…coffee and music.
I ground and brewed some Costa Rican beans. They are still fresh…a little oily. The aroma of the beans fills the kitchen as I grind them. Then as it slowly brews, the anticipation of enjoying a fine cup of coffee builds. I poured a cup and I’m taking it in…savoring every sip.
While I consume this coffee, my ears are enjoying the sounds of Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby. Country Music Television (CMT) has a program called Crossroads. They take two artists from different genres of music and they perform together…playing each others songs. The other night, I caught the first 15 minutes…they open with Hornsby’s “The Way It Is” and then covered an old Bill Monroe song (of course, all Bill Monroe songs are old). Because of the time, I had to get some sleep…so I checked the schedule and set the tivo. Now I’m enjoying the tunes…it’s incredible.
If you have CMT, check to see if it’s playing again and be sure to watch it. Or if you know me well enough and live close by, give me a call and you can come watch it…I’ll be keeping this on the tivo for a while.
In other words, it’s a good morning. And, to just add to it all…Samantha slept 9 straight hours last night (that’s huge for us) and is still asleep after having a little snack.
9 hours - woo hoo!!! Maybe tonight will be a repeat!
