Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott: Here Comes Summer

I’d like to begin this week with a seasonal sort of rhyme that goes sort of like this: Spring has sprung, and fall has fell. Now it’s summer and it’s hotter than…heck, yes, that’s it, hotter than heck, what the heck did you think I was gonna say? Well, there’s no...

If you’re ever awake at 4 o’clock in the morning – and I am almost every morning – do yourself a favor and tune into KCBS Channel 2 a few minutes before 4 a.m. and give a listen to an amazing, 12-year-old songstress, Reina Ozby, perform an ear-shattering version of...

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott — The Ants Go Marching

I guess I don’t have to tell you it was hotter than a witch’s broomstick last week. But, let’s face it, it’s always hot this time of the year, and people always complain about the weather, especially me. But then people complain when it’s cold. Some folks, especially...
