I love this. Thanks Bix. Being born and bred in NE means you never get NE out of your bones. No place else feels like home.

Once, I had to work here for a court case. It was dark and lonely in that part of Boston:

I have lived and worked in Boston and absolutely loved it. City life was fun when I was younger, but I ended up going back home to seas of trees and peace and quiet.

Boston's only a 45 minute train ride, so I go into the city a lot during the warmer weather. That's where I go book shopping...lol.

Yesterday, I was telling KazzyH that I would like to have a vacation house in Maine. Maybe, one day.

Trey, do you want some pop-ish #ProgRock?

If I scrunch my nose up and sniff…I can smell the Vegemite cheese toast. 👍😁

🤮

Speaking of nutritious veggie spreads — Marmite, in this case 😏 — here’s today’s pop prog earworm…at least for the morning (EST):

Makin' deals, huh?

@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Bobk37 @CanisPundit @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with Bix
And I'd get Him to swap our places
He’d be drivin’ up that road
He’d be drivin’ up 95/91
He’d be drivin’ up New England
Say, if I only could, oh

We all see this Brokeback CoSo Hallmark movie playing out during a Weekend In New England:

@InUnfunky: @Bix I wish I knew how to quit you.

@Bix: I wish you knew how too. Have you considered blocking me or Googling for guidance?

The Bixie & Trey love story will live on through the years. Maine farmers will tell the tale of love to their youngins and they'll tell their youngins, on and on it'll go, through the ages, as a sweet love song plays in the background. And we get to say we knew them when.

The story of the those "Liberal musician roommates in the one bedroom house down the the road".

@CanisPundit @InUnfunky @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

They were quiet boys, pretty much kept to themselves. Occasionally they could be heard fighting over the record player, but things calmed down once the sweet voice of Frank Zappa floated over the cornstalks.

Pluck some Floss N' swish it aroun'
I'd have me a crop
An' it'd be me on top"
