Kendl Winter
From ANDRAS JONES: KENDL WINTER returns to Radio8Ball on the cusp of the solstice for a series of Pop Oracle sessions in Skyler’s graveyard adjacent basement. After the fireworks of the David Rovics episode Kendl, her banjo, her groovy friends, and her songs about slow dripping honey and rocking chairs were just the medicine I needed. I met Kendl when she was in the band The Blackberry Bushes. I think I may have booked one of their first shows at The Mark in the early 00’s. After she went solo, Kendl was a guest for one of two live R8B events we held at the short-lived Kitzel’s Crazy Delicious Delicatessen, a rare openly and outwardly Jewish business in Olympia, that opened its doors for just over a year before succumbing to financial strain. Since I started the podcast I’ve been trying to arrange something with Kendl but she is almost constantly touring, on her own, with The Lowest Pair and/or with her husband Joey Capoccia and his band The Pine Hearts. We’ll meet a lot of these folks during this episode that blooms like the namesake of today’s randomly chosen song of the day from the R8B app.
POP ORACLE Song of The Day (February 10, 2019): BART DAVENPORT “Dessert Flower”
Earl Grey Morning
The honey pours slow when it’s cold outside
takes me an hour to sweeten my tea
crawled out of bed late waiting for the sun
to shine through the shadows that keep falling on me
It’s an earl grey morning
i fill my mason jar no sugar baby
i’m waiting for the honey to pour
the kettle howls from across the house
the sirens outside roll down the street
every direction is coming at me loud
calm down darling, sit and have a drink
of this earl grey morning
i fill my mason jar no sugar baby
i’m waiting for the honey to pour
you take yours straight, are done before i have time
to let mine cool
you don’t have to say it, i can read the signs
both of us playing the fool
on this earl grey morning
i fill my mason jar
no sugar baby
i’m waiting for the honey to pour
but i like the way you hang your gaze on my face
like it’s a coatrack and you’re warm inside
lean me up against the wall i’ll try to hold on to it all
until you break, or my arms get tired
of this earl grey morning
i fill my mason jar
no sugar baby
i’m waiting for the honey to pour
