Back in Raleigh and Eli Snuggs

It feels strange to be back in Raleigh after the last 6 weeks of traveling--3 continents, 5 countries and 4 states. What was I thinking? Mmmm--maybe I'm a little bit in love with being on the road.

Each place had its own special charms, and I'll probably blog about them at some point. For tonight, I just wanted to share a bit of special charm that I've stumbled over at my local coffee house. It's an unexpected joy, so why keep it to myself?

The joy is a small-town acoustical guitar player named Eli Snuggs. He does a 2 hour set at the Caribou Coffee on Maynard in Cary Fridays from 6:30 - 8:30. Good acoustical talent with a rich singing voice. Young, not quite perfect, but highly enjoyable nevertheless. I've certainly been pleasantly surprised.

You can check him out for yourself at his MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/elisnuggs
