Bricks

We just keep gathering bricks wherever we can find them. Bricks to build with. Like Pablo and his Kiln. Where he makes the most beautiful pottery, right there in Yocona Mississippi, where me and my family lived for 11 years. He uses the red clay soil for his art. He gathered hundreds of bricks without the help of any one. In obscurity he saw the Kiln, the barn..and one plank and brick at a time, he built it. He raises his own food..chickens, goats, a garden so brilliant it makes you feel good just looking at it.  He inspired Jeff and me to keep gathering our bricks to build this thing we dream of. The Wineskins is our dream..our Kiln....from it comes songs, sounds, images..our pottery is our music. And no one is going to help us. No music business person will get this music..they are not going to help us build this. No one else sees this and no one else wills this, just the two of us. Jeff and I see it, and it gets clearer every day. And one day, we will find the way to get this music to folks..and when it happens, we will all be glad we did.    k

Down in Mississippi

This past weekend Jeff and I traveled to Oxford, Marks, Clarksdale, Cleveland, and Greenville Mississippi. We recorded with an incredible audio recorder and a very high tech video recorder. We always had both of them running..meeting folks, eating in cool places like Abe's BBQ in Clarksdale. All for the album we have been writing for since June 5 of this year. We saw our former band mate Brian down in Greenville. It was great seeing him again. It had been a while for me. I don't get down to Greenville much. It is a place all unto itself. It has a haunted pastel quality..makes me think of Walker Percy and Shelby Foote.. when we met up with Brian he had arranged for us to record a Tow Boat horn...it was pretty cool.

We will update you on how the album is coming...

peace,
Keith

It's about living..

When you hear a song that really moves you, you remember it. You want to hear it again. Same thing with great literature, you get upset when a great story is about to end.

The Wineskins are a combination of music and words with soaring melodies and words you feel something about.

The Wineskins are back...good things to come..

The Wineskins are writing and putting together something special. It's been a while, but it looks like it is going to be worth the wait.
