Hey, you know how I threaten to post on occasional Wednesdays? This is occasional Wednesday – February 6, 2019. Got some jazz tunes for y’all to listen to today. So take some time and tap your feet to Dave Pike, Peggy Lee, Alphonse Mouzon, Art Tatum & Ben Webster, Elvin Jones, Art Farmer, Fred Hersch,…

The Super Bowl is today. Here’s what will happen: one team will win, and the fans will be happy. One team will lose, and the fans of that team will think that they were robbed. There will be a bad call by the referees. This may be used as the reason that the team lost…

Another Sunday, another post. 52 a year (just once a week – I’m not huge on social media) for going on 5 years. Not always a lot to talk about. This week, we’ll get the government back up and going (for three weeks – 3, just 3). I guess I’ll find out how pressing the…

The snowpocalypse scheduled for this weekend has once again (sort of) fizzled out, and instead of snow all day we’re getting freezing rain. Bring on the snow, I say. Much easier to deal with snow than frozen rain. Ugh – lots of work ahead of me shoveling and swearing today and tomorrow morning. To get…

It’s cold. Usually the cold doesn’t affect me, but lately, I’m starting to feel it. Maybe it’s time to start taking the “Move South” movement my wife’s on seriously. In past years I’ve shrugged off bad weather; maybe it’s a temporary thing. Let’s hope so, as we won’t be moving south anytime soon. Ooh, look,…

How’s your January going? Are you keeping up on your New Year’s resolutions? January seems to be the month of broken resolutions. How long does it take you to give up on your list? Have you kept up on your list past the first weekend? Good intentions and all, but generally nearly impossible to keep…

Hey, thought I’d welcome everybody into 2019 with some rocking tunes from 2018. I’ve peppered the podcast with tunes that I’ve enjoyed from 2018. It’s not a best of, just a bunch of songs that fit together from last year.  Let’s enjoy the start of a new year (one which involves me shoveling) with Tracy…

2018 was a year of change. It wasn’t planned (mostly), but change is inevitable, and you have to learn to lean into the change and make it work for you. First up was that I got a new job in April. I left Northern New England Housing Investment Fund after more than 13 years and…

Quick Merry Christmas to everyone. As always, try to remember the reason for the season (no, it’s not the acquisition of presents) and be nice to your fellow man. Let’s hope that the people who have unexpected days off this Christmas have a shortened time off and that they can get back to work (there’s…

I had a request that I’ll honor.  I talked last week about my new car and was asked how the sound in the car was. I have mentioned that one of the ways I listen to music is during the long drives  I have to exotic places, like the trip to Bangor, Maine I made…
