Music is another of Ed's passions, writing and interviewing many classic rock, rock and blues musicians. Getting the great stories of road experiences from them is a particular delight. Traveling also fits in with Ed's writing, exploring all over to find the most interesting places to visit, even in out of the way areas. Ed lives in Boise and is searching for the best finger steaks in town.","url":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/author\/edsails\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3027"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3027\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3030,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3027\/revisions\/3030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
