This has happened to me a lot – I’ll think of something to write, only to forget what I was going to talk about and sit here blankly on Sunday morning. Is it age? I’d like to blame it on getting old, but I think that I was always this way. Thing is, I had … Continue reading "Forgotten"

Well, I’m out again this weekend. Taking the weekend off and going to Boothbay Harbor for the weekend. Not sure about WiFi access where we’re staying, so this may go out early, or this may go out very late. It’ll be a step back in time in Boothbay Harbor, I predict. The hotel has made … Continue reading "Summertime Step back in time"

It’s mid-week – just finished with the recycling this morning (recycling is important). Time for some jazz, so I’ve put together a jazzcast for today. My voice is very froggy today – I’ve got to improve my speaking skills – man I sound bad today – sorry. Well, I’ll skip over the formalities and just … Continue reading "Mid-week Jazz"

Went to see Chris Isaak last night. He was in great form, singing many great songs that spanned his career. It’s nice to see someone perform with a tight band (a couple of the band members had been with him over 30 years), and their set was pretty flawless. I have to say that the … Continue reading "Chris Isaak"

So, I’m forced up early today, to take of something “before there’s traffic”. After we’re done our morning delivery, we eat breakfast and Kate starts complaining that it’s too early, an that no stores are open. I don’t think she understands the concept of no traffic = no stores being open. I think we could … Continue reading "Sunday early Sunday"

1977 – a pretty great year for music. Punk was breaking out big time, and the groups that punk railed against also put out memorable albums. Let’s start with Rumours by Fleetwood Mac – an album of songs that everyone seems to know, and was huge, Huge, HUGE. Steve Miller cemented his reputation that year … Continue reading "40 Years Ago"

Enjoy Robert Plant, Led Zeppelin, Dr. John, Dan Auerbach, the Black Keys, Richard Berry, John Lee Hooker, Marshall Crenshaw, Endless Boogie, Morrissey, the Smiths, the Jam, and Paul Weller. This podcast … Continue reading "Summer fun"

Confession: I am a reader. According to Goodreads, I have read 39 books so far this year. That’s pretty good for me. I like to read all types of books, with mystery type books probably leading the way. I’ve begun to read more non-fiction as I’ve grown older, but I’ll need to step that up … Continue reading "A Reader"

It’s been a pretty good summer – and today the awful humidity goes away for…wow, awhile. It’ll come back in August, no doubt, but I’ll enjoy the weather (even the rainy days) for now. Time, as always, seems to hurtle by now – it’s a week away from August and I can’t believe the year … Continue reading "Happy July"

Hey, what a great week! On Tuesday my son and I went to Portland to see Gary Clark, Jr. and My Morning Jacket play at Thompson’s Point. Thompson’s Point is an outdoor venue, and the weather turned out fabulous! The temperature stayed about 70 for the show, and the weather had cleared out so we … Continue reading "Root, root, root for the home team"
