let the healing begin!
that was really weird what happened just now.

I want to marry this guy. Actually, I only want to have about a million of his babies, but hes one of those good Christian boys, so he'd probably insist on marriage. I almost bought a mandolin because of him too. Apparently Chris Thile is one of the premier mandolinists(??) in the world of bluegrass. Im not so much into that scene, but the efforts of Thile, and his band Nickel Creek (who ive begun listening to after falling in love with Chris) really transcend the genre. Not enough for me to escape being questioned about the "hillbilly music" i was listening to (Thiles first three albums were all instrumental) but enough that theyve branched out into a whole new playing field, now known as "progressive" bluegrass. As a group and in their indivdual projects, the members of Nickle Creek (which also includes siblings Sean and Sarah Watkins) have gotten increasingly experimental. Thile's last album was one of my favorites of 2004, blue-grass or not. His writing is great and hes cute as hell
