In a way, I think it’s stupid to say this, but be careful if you’re anywhere near Hurricane Irma (or Jose, or Katia, or whatever else is being cooked up out in the ocean). I think that by now everyone knows that it’s coming, and that hopefully everyone who needs to be gone is gone.…

1987 – the year I started checking out of music for awhile (current music, that is). Real life was taking over so I focused on a job and my family – both are still going well (a couple of careers later). The music I’m playing from 30 years ago is pretty much straight ahead of…

This has happened to me a lot – I’ll think of something to write, only to forget what I was going to talk about and sit here blankly on Sunday morning. Is it age? I’d like to blame it on getting old, but I think that I was always this way. Thing is, I had…

Well, I’m out again this weekend. Taking the weekend off and going to Boothbay Harbor for the weekend. Not sure about WiFi access where we’re staying, so this may go out early, or this may go out very late. It’ll be a step back in time in Boothbay Harbor, I predict. The hotel has made…

So, I’m forced up early today, to take of something “before there’s traffic”. After we’re done our morning delivery, we eat breakfast and Kate starts complaining that it’s too early, an that no stores are open. I don’t think she understands the concept of no traffic = no stores being open. I think we could…

1977 – a pretty great year for music. Punk was breaking out big time, and the groups that punk railed against also put out memorable albums. Let’s start with Rumours by Fleetwood Mac – an album of songs that everyone seems to know, and was huge, Huge, HUGE. Steve Miller cemented his reputation that year…
