Look I know that's just a close-up of a rock & not an actual ridge there aren't any real ridges nearby in Portland & I didn't have the time or to be honest the wherewithal to drive to Rainier or Hood or St Helens just to snap a picture of a ridge so cut me some slack here please. Because I did an entire radio show about ridges & you know what if you can have ridges in your fingerprint there can be small ridges on rocks in your garden which you thought might fool somebody but it's obvious it's not.
Anyway, here's your radio show about ridges. I found lots & lots of songs about the Blue Ridge Mountains & lots & lots of songs in the bluegrass genre, but I tried to be evenhanded & sparing with both. It's still a lot folky tho. Not a lot of indiepoppers spending time on ridges.
Listen to the show now at the KBOO web site or at the Self Help Radio website. For the latter you might need the username SHR & the password selfhelp. Most of the things that happened on the show are listed below.
& if I get to a ridge I'll change out that lame picture!
