Our only connection is that we each lived in the DC area, but never at the same time.
Sadly my brother has all but stopped playing.
Yes, I knew about him and Takoma Park and wondered if you had a regional connection in your past.
I’ve heard two of these three live. If we’re in the area maybe you could get your brother over for a house concert.
Fahey, Kottke, and my brother are my three favorite guitar players. Not necessarily in that order.
Fahey made his start in my area: Takoma Records, the label he helped found, is named for Takoma Park MD where he lived for a while.
On the right day it just might. Pretty quiet this time though.
2 years agoStay outta there. The current will suck you down.
2 years agoI’d especially recommend two rides we took the previous time we were there. Drive out east on Route 46 to Bitterwater Road, or a bit further (and past the James Dean Memorial) to Cholame Valley Road and bike south. They’re both brilliant rides.

A Fahey fan? I loved his music. Surprisingly, he ended his days in Salem, where we worked before moving to Portland. I got to hear him perform live in a small pub there maybe 20 years ago.

2 years agoIt took us awhile to figure it out too. We discovered it went through by accident really, when we biked out on Christmas Day and we’re disappointed to find the gate locked. Rachael biked off past the guard station to poke around while I was tending to business and discovered that it went through if you’re on bike.
2 years agoI did not know the name of Thomas Jay park, either! I think of it as the potty stop on Craycroft. A side note is that all of the workers at the maintenance facility there drive red pick up trucks. I've seen as many as four, but typically three. I keep thinking I should photo them.
