I have been away from Olympia, Washington now for about 4 months. I must admit, I miss it about every hour. I miss the Olympia harbor. I miss the Olympia Farmers Market. I miss downtown Olympia. I miss the rain. I miss the boats. I miss kayaking in the Boston Harbor Marina. I miss the air. I miss the green. I miss the trees. I miss the Evergreen College campus. I miss KAOS-FM radio. I miss the little town of Shelton. I miss all the wonderful people I met there. I miss the liberal minds who reside there. I could go on forever. Olympia, I miss you................

Jason Bennett's new solo traditional folk album "Acoustic Harbor" recently came in at #20 on the KAOS-FM CMJ radio charts. Apparently this solo acoustic collection of sad songs has struck a nerve with the listeners and has been getting a lot of attention and airplay as of late. And you can still get your own copy of "Acoustic Harbor" at cdbaby.com.
