And after all, we’d hardly be the first person to notice that there’s something going on in Portland, which seems to have a higher population density of sensitive and insightful singer-songwriters than just about anywhere else we can think of.

Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
