Little Wings


I have posted about Thanksgiving before, and to tie in with Ian's Phil Elvrum I'd like to introduce Kyle Field aka Little Wings. If Elvrum is the musical leader of the trio and Thanksgiving the youthful energy, Kyle is the philosphoical leader. Hailing from the beach town of San Luis Obispo California he exudes a contagious "mellow" of his happy go lucky surfer lifestyle. His music is just that mellow modern surfer music. His songs are often about wonder and beauty presented with many a clever turn of phrase.

"The Shredder" is a song that succeeds in being funny and sad at the same time. Growing up as a skateboarder there was always a shredder type character around. The old guy who still skated and hung out with 14 year olds.

I think I witnessed one of the first performances of the song "Uncle Kyle Says". At the time I was certain that he was making it up on the spot in a moment of pure brilliance. He might just have been.

I love "The Way I Duex".
