Sometimes, bluegrass music is just the thing. And today is baby number 2’s birthday, so I thought I’d post something I think she’d dig. This is Whiskey for Breakfast played by Bret Blackshear. Many a morning has this one gotten me up and at ’em, and I hope it fills you with the same joy it does me.

Blackshear is an interesting guy. In addition to his lovely music, he’s also a magician and a bit of a comic. Best known for his appearances as “Blackenshear the Curious,” Bret has performed magic and music at Renaissance fairs all over the world.
