Woodsongs 5ive

I really enjoy Michael Johnathon's style. He tells great stories, both about his own life as well as others, and I find his perspective very encouraging and entertaining. I only wish more people would read this book (and the first volume of Woodsongs), especially those interested in creating art simply for the love of it. Both the Woodsongs books bring the issue of creating and enjoying art away from the celebrity status of today as he encourages folks to just create the art they love. But it's more than music; he's also trying to get people to reconnect with real life again: real food, real relationships, taking time to do things that matter, growing gardens, getting back to simpler things, etc., etc. At least that's what I take from his writing. It just makes me want to take it easy and get out of the race. Like the title of my review, this is excellent rainy day reading. Get in a comfy chair with a hot cup of coffee and you'll not be able to put this one down till it's finished.
