There are probably many things one could sensibly be doing as a major hurricane moves in to the neighborhood, but I’m writing this post for a music blog. Hurricane Ike is poised to come onshore off the Texas coast within an hour or so. Galveston, that fine city to our south, has apparently taken a major blow in the form of flooding and nasty winds. In the days ahead we’ll count our losses. But now is the time to hide from the wind – and listen to a few tunes. If you are in a place where the wind is not blowing and the power is still flowing, count your blessings and dedicate your next beer to the good folks in Galveston.
