I'm a writer, publishing both as SJ Rozan and, with Carlos Dews, as Sam Cabot. (I'm Sam, he's Cabot.) Here you can find links to my almost-daily blog posts, including the Saturday haiku I've been doing for years. BUT the blog itself has moved to my website. If you go on over there you can subscribe and you'll never miss a post. (Miss a post! A scary thought!) Also, I'll be teaching a writing workshop in Italy this summer -- come join us!

Give me that country fiddle any day
Was in a funk this morning, couple of things not going my way. Not even including the Spurs losing to the Heat last night -- I get my adrenalin level and heartbeat way up for a game like that, but I don't, in the words of one of my nephews, get all angsty once it's over. Anyway, that was me today, grumble grumble grumble, and when I got to Grand Central there in the tunnel were the Ebony Hillbillies rocking "Ghost Riders in the Sky."
I couldn't find a video of them doing it, but here's Marty Robbins, whose performance was where I learned it. I think the album was called "Hell Bent for Leather," though I can't believe they'd have used the word "hell" in a record made in the fifties. Anyway, when I was a kid I stole it from my father and played it until it had no grooves left.
Okay, I'm still in a funk. But it's a much better funk.
