Well Folks it's time for...

"Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted." - Aldous Huxley -

PEACE B2U ALL...

Vote no to the "holidaze" and yes to the best. We here at the Branca house, are endeavoring to keep things simple and sweet this holiday season...

Yes, Thanksgiving week is ahead of us and the year seems to be winding down quickly as the daylight shortens, and we face colder days ahead. This time of year always make me look back a little. It's been a year of change and growth...lots to ponder, lots to be thankful for no doubt. With all the changes there's been lots of writing, and recording as well...

Thanks to ALL who came out to the recent string of shows, thanks for the continuing support. It was great to see so many of you again. Things are intentionally mellow right now, but check back as Holiday shows materialize. You can always check the "UPCOMING SHOWS" link below. It always gets updated as soon as events come together and confirm, so check it out...

POETRY OF THE MOMENT: The way of love is not   a subtle argument.       The door there   is devastation.       Birds make great sky-circles   of their freedom.   How do they learn it?       They fall, and falling,   they're given wings. - Rumi -

IN OTHER MUSIC NEWS...

(In response to the people who seem to come up to me at shows lately and say "I was wondering what happened to you, I am glad to see you are still playing." The "MISSION STATEMENT" will give you an idea where I'm at these days, and what I've been up to lately)

Work on the upcoming solo/acoustic CD
is flowing along nicely. We are done with recording and deep into the mixing/mastering phase....
bit by bit it's all coming together...
slowly but surely...we have no idea yet when the official CD release will be,
but most likely early in the new year, next year. We'll keep you posted.

Working with Lane Gibson is sweet.
He brings amazing ears and passion to the entire creative process, and is an intuitive genius at recording and mixing too - Thanks Lane!

LANE GIBSON

Time flies. It's hard to believe it, but we are almost out of the "LIVE" CD we recorded @ Nectar's with Gus from LowTech studios a few years back... ever see the sweet review we got in "Blues Revue" magazine? Check it out:

"If LIVE is your first exposure to Jim Branca, be prepared to be blown away. The Vermont-based singer and guitarist's show documented here is more uplifting, fun, spiritual, and invigorating than ought to be possible!"

MORE POETRY OF THE MOMENT:

"THE WILD GEESE" by Wendell Berry

Geese appear high over us, pass, and the sky closes. Abandon, as in love or sleep, holds them to their way, clear in the ancient faith: what we need is here. And we pray, not for new earth or heaven, but to be quiet in heart, and in eye, clear. What we need is here.

And now...

Biblical Insights for the Day: "For the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God" (Exodus 34:14) "He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for GOD IS LOVE!" (1 John 4:8) "LOVE is patient, love is kind, love is NOT JEALOUS!" (1 Corinthians 13:4) To Review: * God is Jealous *God is Love *Love is Not Jealous *God is NOT Jealous Right? Right. Just wanted to clear that up... Thanks.

PARTING POETRY OF THE MOMENT...  "When your feats and words have justice lacking Leaving stranded thoughts without conscious backing Emotions, feelings, a whole new meaning now personified And all within your being is somehow both dead and yet alive ...Just shut up and LOVE!" -Andrew C. Branca- (posted by his proud dad)

PARTING THOUGHT...

"There is more to life than increasing it's speed." -Gandhi-

The bottom line is...
