Spring Cleaning

Hmm, I’m having problems with my shift bar – time for a new keyboard? I’ll see if I can clean this one out first. Speaking of cleaning, spring, for some reason, is the traditional period for cleaning. It’s the first chance for those of us who experience winter to move around outside (there’s still plenty of snow here today), and I have more big spring cleaning plans.

It seems like we spend our younger years accumulating stuff we think is necessary, and then we realize that we don’t really need everything we’ve acquired (or that we’ll never move into that mansion large enough to hold all our stuff) so we start getting rid of it. I prefer Goodwill for anything that has some use – charities that can re-use are the best place for my old crap. Then younger folk can by this”essential” stuff and repeat the pattern of acquiring and dumping.

On today’s podcast we have all killer, no filler-accumulations of essential music. We begin with the killer himself, Jerry Lee Lewis, then to crooner Bob Dylan, Matthew E. White, and a collaboration between John Lee Hooker and Miles Davis. Then we go live with a set from Jefferson Airplane, Muddy Waters, Nirvana and Donny Hathaway. We go bluesy with Savoy Brown, Freddie King and Luther Allison. The final set features the Shocking Blue, Iggy Pop and Sade, and yes, they all work well together.

All podcasts still available at brennick.net – please take some time to listen to older pods as well as the new. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Thank you for listening, and remember to tune us in every week (sometimes twice!).
