Only A Northern Song, the underrated George Harrison Beatles track that was recorded in 1967 and released in 1969. A fine piece of Beatles psychedelia. Have a cup of tea on this summer Saturday. #thebeatles #georgeharrison #60s #coversong #acousticcovers #musicsky

In the Garden; the last day of June. Summertime song, vibing under the undulating sun. Warm breeze through your hair. We are nowhere, we are everywhere. #summer #musicsky #psychedelicrock

Aunt Sarah’s Falls in Montour, NY. A uniquely shaped waterfall that starts out as a thin ribbon and then fans out. I had family in this area 50-100+ years ago. It's cool to see something they would've. Beautiful area. #nature #chillmelodies #waterfall #spring #hippie

Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of one of our longtime fans, Doro. She was a huge supporter of indie music & and an absolutely lovely person. Something she said to me that always stuck - "you're doing a lot right, always in contact with your audience & available to them." RIP Doro 💙
