Satan Alert! | Amish Heat Surge Fireplace

Fine -- there may be Amish involvement in this, but it looks to basically be an electric fireplace with an "Amish-made" cabinet around it.

But first... the Amish are involved in selling an electric fireplace?! And second... if you watch the background of the workshop the cabinets are being built in, there are florescent lights in the ceiling, and the usual lit exit signs at the doors... again... electricity?

While I might say Wikipedia is not the definitive guide to All Things Amish, the article about Amish Furniture clearly says, "Amish beliefs prevent the use of electricity." While I can see the wiggle-room, it still seems a bit on the shadier side of grey.



But then again, perhaps things are not quite what popular imagination thinks the Amish are all about... here are two young Amish hoodlums road-racing...

Crazy Musician | Sherman Downey "Indifferences Lay Waiting"

Last month I was invited to see Sherman Downey & the Silver Lining play in sherin's living room when the boys were on their way back from their 2012 tour of Australia. An intimate venue, to say the least, and it was a fantastic time. I was introduced to this song, Indifferences Lay Waiting, sometime last year or so by SK:ff playing it on an acoustic guitar in the parking lot outside our studio. It's a great tune.



Thanks to REd for finding the video. If you like the tune, be sure to visit the Sherman Downey site.
