  • Enjoy the summer days

    We’re in the midst of summer – let’s enjoy the seemingly few days of sunshine that we’re given and soak up some sun. Oh, but be safe and wear sunscreen, cover up and use the shade – the sun’ll kill you. If you’re like me, you just burn anyway – I don’t get proper tans,…

  • Mid-week Special:OddPod

    Today I’m posting a mid-week podcast. Today’s podcast focuses on artists that I listen to a lot but who don’t usually make it into the regular podcasts. Most of these artists are not mainstream, but have made incredible music that is very rewarding. Could also be called music my wife does not like – I…

  • Almost Independence Day

    Hey, it’s the 4th of July. Well, yesterday was. That’s it – just an acknowledgement of a date on the calendar. I’m not much for holidays, except that we get to spend time with friends and family, which is what I’m doing this weekend. Highly recommended.Oh, and listening to music. That’s important, too. Today’s podcast…

  • Updating the Website

    Hi, I’m not sure how this will work – it may go up late, as I am not home this Sunday morning. We’ll see if I can sneak this up on time. I’ve been looking at my website (something I don’t do a lot) and have made some changes to it. The page design is…

  • Today’s photo: Hummingbird

    Today I will start posting some of my photographs that I’ve taken through the years. Today’s is a hummingbird I took in 2014 at Indian Canyons of the Agua Caliente band of Cahuilla Indians in Palm Springs, California. There are many desert and mountain trails to hike there, and they have hummingbird feeders at the…

  • Garden and Gun

    On Saturday I picked up the mail and received an invitation to “Celebrate the Good Life in the South.” It was a subscription request for a magazine called Garden & Gun. Why is it called Garden & Gun? There used to be a 1970’s nightclub in Charleston, SC called the Garden & Gun Club that…

  • Racism

    I’m just so upset at this that I need to rant a minute. The attack in Charleston, SC was horrible, but some of the responses to the attack were just as bad. It was racially-motivated, but to have the governor of the state say “we’ll never understand what motivates anyone to enter one of our…

  • Old Blues Podcast

    I was thinking about doing a B.B. King tribute after the legend died, so I started gathering up some blues records. Thought I’d do a brief history and show where B.B. King stood in the pantheon. A funny thing happened to me, though – I started out playing old-time blues records and never really got…

  • Work out

    Thank you all for the heartfelt sympathy toward my dog. It’s been tough, but we’re getting through it. Since I’ve gotten all fat and lazy lately, I decided that I needed to get onto better shape, so I’ve started the “Couch to 5k” app on my iPhone. I just completed the first workout in week…
