...is a decade old Playstation game that I came into contact with while recording a record in 1997(?) here in lovely old Greenwood. Many of the onlookers watching someone play this game will despise it because basically you're playing a cave person, running around eating stuff, sleeping and....sleeping....etc. But if your stoned and want to zone out into a fucking weird simple old Playstation game, boy howdy, this one's for you. I loved it then and I still do. I just thought of it last night talking to someone and today I dragged it out of retirement.

Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billy Joe" is a song that I grew up with, hearing it on the radio and stuff in the 70's when I was young. Also, I must've watched the film with Robbie Benson a thousand times or something too. I grew up in a kind of rural area, and every time I hear this song it puts me in a specific place and time where's there's barns, farmlands, and country stuff. I'm glad I got to experience that. Anyway, I bummed that there's not a clip of her doing "Mississippi", which totally rocks. Ode to Billie Joe on Wikipedia
I've been living in the Greenwood neighborhood for around 3 years now, 2 in my current house. We're just now starting to feel moved in and settled for one reason or another. After our road trip to the Yukon recently, we decided that we needed to learn the names of our neighbors, get to know people. So far we've made a few friends, interacted with people in meaningful ways and started to feel a part of a place, it's nice. Feeling like if we need something, that we can find it in our backyard so to speak...and we have.
Here's a few pictures of my neighborhood from 1915 or so to the 1940's...some pics I found:
This school was built around the same time as my house, which was built in 1918. I live about 3 blocks from it. I
