bill callahan - smog


a safe place





listening
is like closing your
eyes and steadily feeling
your away around a room



running your fingers
across every surface



no rush



no impulse
to open your eyes




i listen to
bill callahan
almost everyday.



he's a musician
who doesn't have to put
emotion in his voice


to convey
emotion.




but watch
his face




ps:

rock bottom riser




ph: cerré

Thanks for the lovely post. I listen to NPR mini concerts, but I must have missed Bill Callahan's.
I am off to listen again to the link.
