Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold) by Balsam Range
This is my current favorite band of all time, and the singer, Buddy Melton, is my current single favorite artist of all time. He taps into such sweet emotion with his voice.
I got to meet him tonight after this performance (that I recorded with my own phone), where he stood around and casually chatted with me one-on-one for about 20 minutes, in no hurry at all.
One of the many things we talked about was my hometown, and I was shocked to find out that he used to hang out in my hometown when he was younger and knows it very well. Still has friends there. He’s from North Carolina, right around Andy Griffith’s hometown, but the music folks down there seem to be very closely involved with and familiar with my people.
We also talked about Hurricane Helene, which hit us the same as it hit them. (For more details on that, see The Practical Woodsman podcast Ep. 37.)
One of the best nights of my life. Enjoy.
Ps. He has a firm handshake
…the myth, the legend.

WARNING: This is a brief video of two people dying. The wife thought she was taking a picture of the event, but it was actually a video.
I have been in these intimate, private circumstances many times before with my own brain.
Nothin’ is better than round, uniform tins for hauling certain things. I’m really fond of them because they stack neatly and can save quite a bit on space. I get them off Amazon in two different sizes at a low price - a small, snuff-size can, and a larger can.
The only real drawback about them is that they can get beat up fairly easily, because they’re made out of really light aluminum. But for their low cost, I reckon it’s no big deal, since they’re easy to replace.
