  • Difficult Music

    It’s special Wednesday podcast. Today’s pod is filled with music that I listen to a lot, but doesn’t really fit in with what I usually put on a Sunday podcast. Maybe it’s dissonance, or noise, or some quality that I really enjoy in music that others (especially my wife) doesn’t. That’s it – this is…

  • Easter

    Happy Easter, and Greek Easter – or Passover. The calendars all aligned up this year. Hope you have a great day. After all these years I still wonder what’s so good about Good Friday – if anyone can explain that to my satisfaction I’d be grateful. It really is becoming spring here – I’m sure…

  • What? A change?

    So, earlier this week I was informed that due to the size of my website, I would be moved to another server. I did not know what that meant. Is there a charge for this? Do I have anything to worry about? I was told that I had unlimited space, so I was confused. I…

  • New Look

    Hey all – Decided on a new look for the website. Whaddya think? I kind of like it – may change up the header picture every now and then. I have lots to choose from. Maybe even find a way to cascade photos. Other than that the site’s the same – still have all the…

  • April Showers Bring Snow?

    What an April Fool’s joke! 12 inches of snow fell here, and that was after the amounts of snow were scaled back by the storm. Mother Nature has quite a sense of humor. I guess that we’re in a pattern of odd weather again. We were quite a bit snowier this year than last, but…

  • 1972

    The year: 1972. While last year I said that 1971 might have been the best year ever for music, I cannot say the same thing for 1972. Sure, there were some great songs and albums, but nothing along the lines of what we had in 1971. In this podcast, I focus mainly on singles from…

  • Chuck Berry

    Chuck Berry died at the age of 90 on March 18. We’ve become used to the rock ‘n’ roll legends dying off, and I originally dismissed the death as someone who had lived a long life. But his legacy is such that I couldn’t let hid death go by without commenting on how profound he…

  • I’m Sick Y’all

    Man am I sick. I finally got the flu on Friday, and stayed home (mostly slept – no reading or watching movies for me). I felt a little better yesterday, but had a lousy night, barely sleeping, and am feeling worse this morning than I had on Friday – not a good sign. Get better…

  • Spring Forward

    Yes, it’s that time of year when we end Standard Time and go into Daylight Savings Time. So it gets darker later – why do we care about that again? I’m not really sure that we ever got a good explanation for that. Farmers, maybe (they don’t care: farmers do things based on crops or…

  • Jazz Post 2017

    I’ve been quite lax about posting these Wednesday podcasts – this one’s been done for awhile. I’s just laziness on my part for not posting. I’ve been listening to even more jazz than usual this year – not sure why. Sometimes it becomes more difficult to put together my usual Sunday podcast because of it…
