Rock and roll music and the combination and recombination of genetics have so many commonalities, and not just on the math end of things. They both started with older things and brought in new things, and are constantly bringing in more influences to make something old stronger, or something new and different. We all march to a different drummer, after all, so there is a beauty in how the pieces go together no matter which you prefer. The music of the spheres can mean a perfect guitar solo, a flock moving in concert, or a fertilized ova, depending upon who is doing the conducting.
In this week’s podcast we speak with Susie Wilson of SuDan Farm. We met this wonderfully informative shepherd over the belly of a sheep at Shepherd’s Lane Farm, during the Great American A.I. Rally (okay, so it was more of the Valais Blacknose assembly, but there were a lot of things going on, so we’ll take liberties). We followed up with her at her farm in Canby, Oregon, and got a chance to see the strikingly rabbit-like ears of the Border Leicester sheep in its natural farm flock environment. Border Leicesters weren’t the only breed on site -- or species for that matter – and we have a wonderfully informative podcast for you today. And, for a few lucky listeners, free stuff, as Susie was not only extremely generous with her time, but also with her wool products. Listen to our podcast for more details.
Rest in Peace, Eddie Van Halen. Imported from the traditions of Europe, combined into something new and different. A grand conductor in your version of the music of the spheres.
P.S. We worked a long time to get that Van Halen/A.I.-related title as clean as we could. This is, after all, only Rock and Roll. But we like it.
