shuffle – Hank Kalet

Welcome to the first of what I hope will be a recurring feature, The Saturday Shuffle, whereby I turn my iPod onto shuffle and list the first 10 songs that play:

Son Volt, “Automic Society”
Eric Clapton, “I Found Love”
The Band, “Ferdinance the Imposter (Outtake/Demo)”
Pixies, “Vamos”
Lou Reed, “Heroin (live)”
Elvis Costello with Burt Bacharach, “In the Darkest Place”
Bruce Springsteen, “Froggie Went A-Courtin'”
Luiciana Souza/Romero Lubambo, “Muita Bobeira”
The Ramones, “Have a Nice Day”
Bob Dylan, “Mississippi”

I think the Souza track came with my laptop as a demo song, because I don’t remember ever buying it.

Broken Cord: An Anthology of Writing on Alzheimer’s and Dementia

We are looking to raise seed money for an anthology of writing on Alzheimer’s and dementia. The anthology will be the first project from a new small press. All proceeds will go to research and care groups. Contributors who donate $20 or more will get copies of the anthology and a mention on the acknowledgements page. Writers, we are looking for poems, fiction, and essays on dementia and Alzheimer’s. They can be from any perspective — care-givers, family, the person with dementia.
