What a year. This is my 60th year on Earth, and instead of whining all year about how I’m getting older, and what that means, we’re stuck inside the house. But that’s where we should be. The President keeps talking about re-opening the country, and in Florida the beaches have re-opened, in South Carolina the…

Happy Easter. I had forgotten that Easter was this weekend – preparations had been changed so much. In most places, church was going to be a very different experience (some type of online celebration), and any preparations we had for Easter went out the door to be socially distanced. My brother-in-law was sad to hear…

Oh, 1975. 45 years ago. I originally thought that there was a lot of great music form 1975, and while there were some classic albums, overall the year was not strong. The mid-’70s was a period when bands started spending a couple of years to put out an album. Back in the old days, bands…

Another week has gone by – have we made any progress on the Coronavirus? I haven’t heard if rates are slowing, probably because there has been an increase in testing available. Let’s continue to stay safe out there. We’ve already lost some entertainers to it, and we’re hopeful that John Prine and Marianne Faithfull can…

The news continues to be not so good about the virus slowing down. We need to remain careful in the coming weeks. Kate and I are off self-quarantine, but it’s not like our lives have changed all that much. We’re still socially distancing, and Kate is still teaching her kindergarten children via Zoom Monday through…

Hi, it’s your old pal the self-quarantiner. We had a possible exposure and now are stuck alone in the world. Not that either Kate or I have any symptoms – we’ve been fine, and we’ll be fine by Thursday. Here’s hoping. I’m still working – our office has been setting up remote work for a…

Hey, what’s on everyone’s mind this week? How ’bout them Red Sox? Of course, the craze that’s sweeping the nation (and the world) is the Coronavirus. Don’t know where anyone stands on the severity of the crisis, but I’d say that the best course of action is to err on the side of caution. Pretty…

Ugh – I lost the spreadsheet that I use to track what I’ve put together for songs for the podcast, so I was flying blind as I put this back together. Please understand if there are more than the usual problems with the podcast this week. Meanwhile, what do I do? Go back to pencil…

Maybe it’s the time of year, but I’ve fallen into a little rut. I generally think that routine is a good thing, but lately – I don’t know. I think of myself as being a very steady person, to the point of now being boring. That’s usually ok for me, but I need something to…

How’d you sleep? I usually sleep very well, and in truth, I actually slept well last night. I woke up at around 1:00 AM and then went back to sleep in about half an hour. My wife does not sleep well. She was also up at 1:00 but finds it hard to get back to…
