so i was introduced to this by way of one of the youtubers i'm subscribed to (Skip Talbot who is primarily a storm chaser) and it's a neat little piece of music that deserves a bit of love. the visuals accompanying it are pretty beautiful and the music itself is... calming? i guess would be the best way to put it. there's just something quaint about the vibe of this piece and the video that comes with it that it feels like you don't see a lot of these days in most genres of music.
as for the artist, steve thorpe: he is small enough to not have a wikipedia page, and in fact the most i've been able to find about him in a cursory search comes from this Rapid City Journal article from a few years back where he was interviewed. even though it's not very long, it's a genuinely interesting little article, and this bit stood out to me in particular as a pretty admirable sentiment:
I discovered busking, singing on a street for tips, in 1997, when the Hill City Chamber of Commerce asked me to write up, in the Rapid City Journal and Panache Magazine, the fact that they wanted buskers on their streets. I tried it out one afternoon to get a taste of it, so I could write about it. I fell in love with it.
As a busker, I take my music directly to my potential audience. What’s in the guitar case at the end of the afternoon or evening is what it was worth.
anyways, hope you all enjoy this little piece as much as i did. folk isn't necessarily my "thing" as far as musical taste and yet i've played this on and off since i first heard it yesterday afternoon.
