Theme Thursday - Wrinkle

Hmmmm... Well, since Megan once told me the definitions on these themes can be very wide, I've decided to consider ripples to fit the wrinkle definition.

However, this close-up of one of my denim shirts definitely fits the traditional wrinkle definition.

For videos this week, I fed "wrinkle" into YouTube's search engine. Heh, heh! Mostly I got videos touting various wrinkle creams and anti-wrinkle treatments, but there was some music in there. Like this tune called "Wrinkles" by a group called Diamond Rio. I'd never heard of them before; they seem like nice enough fellows, putting out fairly mainstream commercial Country & Western. In any case, here's their song "Wrinkles":

I also found a song called "Wrinkle" by a band called Dufus. I'd never head of these guys either. Founder Seth Faergolzia calls his music "anti-folk", whatever that means. Mostly it sounds like goofy acoustic good-time music, so check out "Wrinkle":

And last but not least, a song that's not about wrinkles, but played by a bunch of older guys who have their share of wrinkles. This is the Old and in the Way reunion band from 2002 or so - Peter Rowan, lead vocal & guitar; David Grisman, mandolin & vocals; Vassar Clements, fiddle; Herb Pedersen, banjo & vocals; Bryn Bright, bass. The band had originally gotten together in 1975; the original banjo player was Jerry Garcia and the original bassist was John Kahn. In 2002 they got back together replacing the original members who'd passed away in the meantime; the put out an album called Old and in the Gray and did a tour. This is from the tour, the band performing Peter Rowan's "Land of the Navajo". Enjoy!
