This will record my walks through Rock Creek Park<\/a> in Northwest DC and, I hope, record the view from a bridge where I always stop.  I’m hoping to teach myself to notice the changes as the seasons change so I’ve chosen to record them, and the music that keeps me company, here.  Forgive the formatting – I need to figure it out and can’t right now.<\/p>\n

\nThis is the bridge from which I take these photos.  <\/p>\n

\nSunday September 18  More High Energy music but look at this second photo – in  a yard near Rock Creek Park.<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_928_deer_1\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Friday and Saturday lost to work and Shabbat respectively<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_925\"<\/a>
\nThursday September 25  Stuck on that High Energy playlist-  today there was Tom Petty and The Police and Great Big Sea and Bruce (but half my iPod is Bruce so it’s inevitable…<\/p>\n

Wednesday September 24 – no walk.<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_923\"<\/a>
\nTuesday September 23   High Energy (gym) playlist: lots of Great Big Sea, Bruce, even The Police.<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_922\"<\/a> Monday September 22 Bruce on the way to the park and holiday music CD on the way back.<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_921\"<\/a>
\nSunday September 21.  Seeger Sessions.  Just great walking music.<\/p>\n

Friday and Saturday the 19th and 20th were lost days – no walk, sadly.<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_918\"<\/a> Thursday September 18 – MoveOn Vote for Change — I think this will show up frequently between now and election day.  That People Have the Power – and I Am a Patriot (the Rivers Open for the Righteous) just do it for me right now.<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_917_2\"<\/a> Wednesday September 17 – Favorites Play list — ended up being lots of Bruce.  No surprise there.  Can you see that the Creek is getting lower?<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_walk1_916\"<\/a>
\nTuesday September 16 – More Dylan — Bob Weir sings When I Paint My Masterpiece and more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_walk2_915\"<\/a>
\nMonday September 15 – Bob Dylan’s 30th Anniversary Tribute Concert – one of the great gatherings.  Dylan, Neil Young, even Chrissie Hynde – winds up with an out-of-sight Knock Knock Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.<\/p>\n

Can you see how the water has receded since Hannah?<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_914\"<\/a>
\nSunday September 14  I have a playlist called "Folky Great" that includes everything from Pete Seeger to the Clancy Brothers to the Grateful Dead.<\/p>\n

Saturday September 13 was Shabbat, so no walk and no camera.<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_912_2\"<\/a>Friday September 12 – our 37th anniversary (!!)  It was definitely a Bruce day and my iPod playlist lived up to expectations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_911\"<\/a>
\nThursday September 11 – a sad anniversary but I again chose my iPod High Energy playlist <\/em> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

September 10  Breakfast meeting – no walk   <\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_909\"<\/a>
\nTuesday September 9  The Dixie Chicks Live<\/a>  <\/p>\n

I’d never paid much attention to them until the appeared on the MoveOn tour; then I saw Shut Up and Sing<\/a> and went out and bought this CD in solidarity.  Love them!<\/em><\/p>\n


<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_908_after_hannah_2\"<\/a> Monday September 8   High Energy iPod Playlist — Bruce, REM, Stones etc.<\/em><\/p>\n


<\/em><\/p>\n


<\/em><\/p>\n


<\/em><\/p>\n


<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_907_after_hannah_3_from_\"<\/a> Sunday September 7  Great Big Sea: Road Rage<\/a> <\/p>\n

I got to know this wonderful Canadian group through my son, who brought me this CD.  I’ve written about them before<\/a>; they’re great company on a walk.  As you can see, Rock Creek rose over the weekend, thanks to Hurricane Hannah.<\/em><\/p>\n


<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_park_2_90508\"<\/a>Thursday and Friday September 4-5  People Have the Power, MoveOn Vote for Change Concert<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

An amazing concert and a treasured memory, this was the last
\nperformance in the 2004 Vote for Change tour.  It wasn’t enough to beat
\nBush but it was a hell of a concert.  My favorite song is at the bottom of this post<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rock_creek_walk_1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wednesday September 3   The Seeger Sessions<\/a>, Bruce Springsteen <\/p>\n

Bruce and old folk songs Pete used to sing.  A joy to hear, and to walk with.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
