Well it's finally feeling like fall, and once there's a little chill in the air, I start thinking back to living in Boston. Someone said something today that made me think of Passim, the folk institution in Harvard Square, where I once saw Bill Morrissey. I really love a few of his Rounder albums -- his voice is so perfectly matched to his very New-England backwoods themes. A wonderful storyteller and songwriter.A quick trip to his not-quite-maintained, very 1995-looking site yielded a few gems he's offered up for our collective enjoyment:

And it seems rather incongrous to me, but he has a myspace page too.
