Cassi Creek: Lot’s
of lyrics with this title, performed by many musicians. Each uses the music to highlight some salient
point about traveling and performing.
Some like the life find lots of pleasure in it. Others would rather not be away from home but
the bills are paid by being on the road.
Ian and Sylvia offered us the life of a traveling
drummer. Lightfoot’s Early Morning Rain
has suited many musicians while many of Lightfoot’s songs evoke the difficulty
of maintaining one’s life or one’s self while touring. “Ten degrees and getting colder” reminds us of the musician who would very
much appreciate a place to get warm and dry and may have decided to quit the
road. Ian and Sylvia’s drummer knows he
has no hope of escaping the road.
Travling has
the advantage of seeing the changes take place at a realistic pace rather than
seeing them less frequently and more drastically. But no matter how frequently or where one
travels the roads will always be under repair and th ones you must take are
marked “closed follow detour.”
