For Early Risers Who Wish It Could Be Morning All Day

Welcome to Morning Guy Blog—a hodgepodge of photos/videos and sometimes profound (but usually inane) thoughts on sunrises, Montana life, hiking, sailing, kayaking, fishing, campfires, family, watercolor painting, beach walking/biking, and favorite movie/music/TV clips.

All the good stuff in life.

While I am out in the hot Montana sun, slaving to catch trout for dinner, Marlene is off to Alaska with her sister, enjoying fine-dining and hanging out with brawny lumberjacks.

Happy 250th!

What a beautiful evening celebrating our nation’s 250th with friends and family on the shore of Flathead Lake.

Reeling In The Big Ones

I know it is impolite to brag, but as you can see, we were reeling in the “big ones” on Flathead Lake this 4th of July Eve morning.

And I wasn’t even cheating by holding this fish close to the camera.

I Like You, Just The Way You Are

This is easily my favorite 3-string cigar box guitar song (combined with a one-handed, muted trumpet). Okay, truth be told, it is my only known 3-string cigar box guitar song (combined with a one-handed, muted trumpet). But, I still “like it, just the way it is.”

Angus & Julia Stone (siblings) have been performing, intermittently, since 2006. They are from a musical Australian family where Julia, at a young age, started out with a trumpet and Angus with a trombone.

Below is a more recent live performance where they play a number of songs (including another version of the above).

SYML

By

SYML (Seattle’s Brian Fennell) does a live version of Where’s My Love with Carla Morrison, in a Mexico City recording studio. His accompanist beautifully sings some of the lyrics in Spanish (a language seemingly designed for song).
