Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant, 205 Frederick Rd, Thurmont, MD
The restaurant is well lit and fun - nicely decorated and obviously well-maintained. The folks that work there obviously like the restaurant. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The food was great with great prices, and a large parking lot – right off Rte 15. We look forward to returning soon.

One of my favorite pictures of Rev. Erin Snell
One of my favorite pictures of Rev. Erin Snell, in action, working to make a difference in our community.
On Wednesday evening, December 21, 2022 Caroline and I attended the annual Blues Christmas and Community Homeless Memorial Service at St. Paul's United Church of Christ in Westminster. The service will be the topic of the article I an writing for this weekend in the Carroll County Times. During the service I was reminded of one of my favorite pictures of Rev. Erin Snell.
The other day Erin had reposted a St. Paul's United Church of Christ post with a picture of candles on her page. The caption for the picture explained: “We will have our annual BLUES CHRISTMAS AND COMMUNITY HOMELESS MEMORIAL SERVICE on Wednesday, December 21 (Winter Solstice) at 7:00pm.
“This service is for people struggling with the challenges of the holidays for whatever reason. And, with the help of various community agencies and local law enforcement, we will remember homeless people who have died this past year.
“This service will be live in the Sanctuary and available on Zoom at the usual Sunday worship Zoom link.
“Very special thanks to Henry Reiff who has served as Music Director for this service since we started it together many years ago.” https://www.facebook.com/StPaulsUCCWestminster/posts/pfbid02ZUj2cv3kwgnnz7MKTAZ1TPrfB83dcSvBWJEgbcmmGNgYB7TexYZrVsT8cTpYgz7wl

Carole King - Out in the Cold (Official Audio)
"Out In the Cold", a single recorded during the 'Tapestry ' sessions that ultimately did not make it onto the album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8QqSvYT3SY
https://www.facebook.com/kevindayhoff/posts/10221916446753878
Tapestry topped the U.S. album chart for 15 weeks in 1971, and remained on the charts for more than six years – featuring such songs as "It's Too Late" and "I Feel the Earth Move"
Of course, as a writer, I was immediately drawn to singer-songwriter music. Music performed by artists who tell stories by writing and performing their own material.
Tapestry reminded me of Southern Gothic literature. An article by David Browne in Rolling Stone published February 10, 2021 explained, “Similarly, the narrator of “It’s Too Late” is almost matter of fact when surveying the end of a relationship; she sounds rational, not distraught. For the 50th anniversary, an album outtake, “Out in the Cold,” has been resurrected after first appearing as a bonus track on a 1999 CD reissue. A confessional about being unfaithful to a lover and paying the price, it feels rational and adult (if not totally empowered)…” (‘Tapestry’ at 50: Why Carole King’s Masterpiece Still Challenges Us - With its masterful songcraft and backstory of personal reinvention, King’s 1971 landmark remains one of pop’s greatest declarations of independence…)
Some of the best examples singer-songwriters include artists such as Bob Dylan, "Mixed-Up Confusion" (1962); Paul McCartney, "Love Me Do"/"P.S. I Love You" (1962); John Lennon, Chuck Berry, Joni Mitchell, “Urge for Going”); and Carole King, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" (1960.)
However I first became enthralled with the genre as a result of the release of Carole King’s “Tapestry.

"Out In The Cold"
I only wanted to play
I thought what he didn't know
Wouldn't hurt him anyway
But he found out and
Someone else gave him her hand to hold
And suddenly I find myself out in the cold
He trusted me all the time
I thought I could see another man
And he would still be mine
Well yesterday I had a good thing
Worth more than gold
Today he's got a truer love and I'm out in the cold
I had a love warmer than fire
But I listened to my desire
Now yesterday's dreams are tomorrow's heartache
I'm paying, paying for my mistake
Now, girl, take a tip from one who knows
If you open up a new door
You may find the old one's closed
So be true to your good man
Take a lesson from this story I have told
Or you just might get left now
Out in the cold
You just might get left now
Out in the cold
Don't let yourself get left now
Out in the cold
Don't let yourself get left now
Out in the cold
