Sunday with the Friends: Rough and Tumble
When Mallory met Scott, they found a notebook on the bus containing sad, old country songs, to-do lists with nothing crossed out, torn pages from a hymnal, minor league baseball tickets, self-written wedding vows, a Chinese take-out menu and a copy of the Declaration of Independence with all the vowels circled in red ink. These are the songs that try men's souls.

Sunday with the Friends: Brian Henke: Nimble Fingerstyle
The lion sits alone onstage, playing his acoustic guitar with a quiet intensity that can mislead those who aren't really listening. But if you're there with him, he can conjure thunderstorms as easily as he can paint a rainbow. Flocks of birds soar overhead while ants build cities at your feet. You are a child again and the wonders of nature are yours.
