listening.  overtaken by the sounds of garrison keillor's banter with greg brown, and i recall that music is people -- human people, human hearts, simple sound. 

listening to 'never so far' performed by greg brown on a prarie home companion in october 2000.  its surface has the naked texture of brushed metal, the sound of greg's voice does - and it's as substantial as iron, it's so very deep and gentle. 

gotta be careful, or be overtaken...
