Añejo Mockingbird

Used to be this place was mostly about music and pop culture, but it's slowly morphed into a launching pad for finding our foster greyhounds new homes. So be it. We love the hounds and are more than happy to use our modest little blog page to reach out and snag some attention for these greyt dogs... Oh, we'll still post the occasional odd music review or rant at the state of the Redskins from time to time, but they'll hafta take a back seat to the dogs 'til further notice

Ashes To Ashes, Diamonds To Dust


Syd Barrett, pioneering psychedelia artist, troubled genius, and Pied Piper for countless fans, passed away earlier this week due to complications from a multitude of illnesses, including diabetes and cancer.

There's more details - and more links - in my post over at Trees and Things.



Wish You Were Here, indeed....
