Last night we drove to Asheville to see She & Him. I was surprised to find that my reaction to it was outright jealousy. I love the styles of music they borrow from, and it's not a stretch to say that my husband and I could play like this - albeit in much smaller venues and definitely not as a full-time gig. If only!

I'm not saying I'm -as good as- Zoey Deschanel, or that my husband is on a par with a touring guitarist/songwriter. I'm merely saying that as I listened to She & Him sing simple songs of devoted love, wistfulness kept nudging me in the ribs.
