Only Feeling A Little Guilty That This Makes Me Laugh

Heat in Winter

Want more? Listen to Laura Veirs "Tiny Desk Concert," the first song is my favorite- the genuine slip-up and harmonic wailing... gorgeous!

Excuse Me

Apparently I love YouTube.

But that's not important because the other day I saw this commercial and tracked it down on the internet. It's that important. Watch this video (please?) and then would someone explain to me...



what happened to freakin' Idaho?! Not only am I pretty offended, but my great Grandpa Vernal is rolling in his grave as I type. Watch out Lays, seriously. No one messes with the Idahoans.

Oddly Fascinating

I like these two very different takes on one of my favorite Christmas tunes, "Go Tell It On the Mountain." Can you tell who seems more excited to spread the "good word?" The Mormons, duh!

Pleasing The Senses

Sharing Is Caring

My uncle Scott shared this pleasing clip with me this morning and all I can say is, "How is it even possible that I haven't heard of Bobby McFerrin until now?" Go ahead and enjoy!

Moving Me Lately

Waste Of Time

You'll probably hate it, but I don't care. This is ridiculous and ridiculously funny at the same time. I haven't laughed this hard, you know, the out loud kind, for a while.

People In Order

There's something I really like about this, but I'm not sure what. Maybe it's waiting and watching for the one that's my own age, and the age of other people I love. Maybe it's noticing how the little kids and elders are so similar even though they are so far apart in age. Maybe it's seeing how different people age differently ( I love the 89-year-old in his library and I'll be darned if that's not me when I'm that old!) Anyway, hope you enjoy. Which one are you?

Stand By Me

Everytime I watch this, I find myself smiling wide from ear to ear. Somehow, this video seems totally appropriate for the holiday season.

Don't Let Me Down

Ode to Thanksgiving Preparations

I've been cooking the entire day. No kidding- made six pies, a crapload of stuffing, a bunch of cheeseballs, and oh yeah, peeled ten pounds of potatoes. The whole time I was singing this song in my head. I couldn't resist. I've actually heard her sing this song live. My life is pretty amazing, right?

An Explanation

Many of you have asked about the title of this blog, "Wildwood." What does it mean? Where did it come from? Well, here you finally have it. It comes from the traditional American roots song "Wildwood Flower." This was one of the first instrumental songs I learned on the guitar and one of the most beautiful tunes my ears have heard. This video, to some I'm sure, comes across as corny, but boy are they wrong! Think about it! Three women each playing the guitar and yet, they're wearing lovely dresses and high heel shoes. I've always been inspired, so move over Sheryl Crow and all you other wannabes. I'll take these gals any day.

I Heart Lucinda

This video falls under the "so-so" category, but the song sounds great! I'm stoked to get my hands on Lucinda William's new album "Little Honey." Her raspy, regional voice and her casual hand clapping is so very cool. If only I could be more like her.

It's About Time!

Saturday Night Live has finally hit the nail on the head. Several times, in fact, since the newest season started. This was too funny not to share. Sorry Grandpa!

Sophisticated Potty Mouth

After a lengthy two months in the hospital with Cliff, where his catheter was placed and removed three times... I can relate.
P.S. I heart David Sedaris!

Perfect Harmony
