Amish In the City - General Tiki

I'm not positive, but I think I have an album here somewhere called "Simple Pleasures", that is a collection of music from Amish or Mennonite communities - it must've made an impression on me or I wouldn't have remembered it in my current inebriated state - I think it was a lot of hammer dulcimer stuff (a highly underrated instrument). The escapism thing seems to be the issue here, where the longing for a "simpler life" comes to the fore. I don't know that I'd trade my Honda Odyssey for an animal with hooves, but I'd trade the world of electronic cryptography and cyber-security for growing corn in a heartbeat if I could make a living doing it. Cheers! (mai-tai 15 ... took colse to 15 minutes to type this)
