Charlie Dodrill is an unlikely "wonder" in the world of music. It seems his stories and music come effortlessly flowing out of him. This is one of the reasons that people, like producer Steve Rosen, are attracted to his gift. But Charlie would argue that the real gift is not his to give. That type of directional music, pointing towards something other, or rather, Someone other; is sorely lacking today. Conversely, I think it would be hard to get offended at the content, because, as exemplified in his latest outing: "Eyes of the Exception"; it just sounds so freakin' good!! His transparent vocal timbre and delivery; and deep, yet simple, acoustic-type arrangements really put you in a good mood. "Littleness is No Obstacle to Love" is my favorite track so far. It has the roots of Charlie's West Virginia heritage, and the wisdom of a traveller, scholar, social worker and one-time monk packed into it. It is really moving. The cast behind Charlie is stellar, all A-List Nashville players, who don't treat the record like another demo being churned out, but a work worthy of the artist. Charlie's a true original, and you can't help but spread the word about his music. It just might grow on you to the point of changing your life.

The second was a man who walked up to pay and, as he passed by our table, all three of us just looked at each other...spellbound. Keep in mind that not one of the 3 of us would consider ourselves fashion gurus (only probably one of us even knows what's up in that world...and she's too cool to care), but these things were bordering on offensive! This guy had on jeans and a denim shirt un-tucked, which is fine if it doesn't almost touch the tops of your knees. Again, that wouldn't have drawn our attention either, but the dude was wearing one of those braided leather belts (each strip of leather was a different color) ON THE OUTSIDE OF HIS SHIRT! He also, was with his wife/girlfriend.

We came to the conclusion that these men must have recently done something horrible to these women...something that deserved harsh retribution and swift reprisal. The only thing is, that they weren't aware of the ridicule they were being subjected to. I think these women knew exactly what they were doing when they either:
1. Told their husband/boyfriend he looked fine, or even good, when asked "Does this look OK?"
or, far more sinister,
2. Actually constructed the incongruity themselves...laying out the road to social demise on the freshly made bed, snickering on the inside at the scorn that would silently be heaped upon such a costume's wearer. And trust me, if I noticed, EVERYBODY noticed.

So, ladies, is this something that you do to us? Are you reading this with a knowing smile and a malicious memory of doing just such a thing to a previous (or current) boyfriend or spouse?

Just wondering.
