    —You’re not a believer, are you? Haines asked.  I mean, a believer in the narrow sense of the word.  Creation from nothing and miracles and a personal God.     —There’s only one sense of the word, it seems to me, Stephen said. …      —Yes, of course, he said as they went on again.  Either you believe or you don’t, isn’t it?  Personally I couldn’t stomach...

Dublin Blues
This is one of those songs that I just fall in love with playing.  For one thing, it’s three chords, like any good, sad country song.  I can flat pick it, or just strum it if I’m sleepy.  Beyond that, it’s got one of those pretty, bittersweet melodies that is as good in my bedroom as it is in a concert hall or a wide open hay field.
