One Hour with Adam Duritz: Counting Crows "Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow"

One Hour with Adam Duritz: Counting Crows "Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow"

"Well I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow. Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there, counting crows. One for sorrow, two for joy.  Three for girls and four for boys.  Five for silver, six for gold.  Seven for a secret never to be told." - "A Murder of One" from "August and Everything After"

In the early 1990's, the San Francisco Bay Area [California, USA] gave birth to numerous talented musicians. One of them was essential in forming the band Counting Crows that exploded onto the music scene [after years of playing the club circuit] with their album ""August and Everything After" in 1993.  The band sold more than 20 million albums worldwide with 10 albums to date, including their 2013 digital release available only at US Tours, "Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow."

Migration Takes Flight at Tifft Nature Preserve

Migration Takes Flight at Tifft Nature Preserve

You take flight. Only feathers, muscle, and air power your movement through the sky. The journey is long and dangerous but your survival, and the survival of your kind, depends on it.  Green, brown, and a vastness of blue give way to concrete human habitats absent of food, water, or shelter. After thousands of miles of evading predation, formidable weather and countless other hazards, you arrive. Your journey has ended this Spring only to begin again in the Fall. This is the way of your species. This is bird migration.
