In this week's episode of our soon-to-be award-winning podcast, Random Song Encounters, we're back home, bringing the show to you despite some challenges. It appears I picked up a bug during our brief visit to Sin City, Las Vegas, over the weekend, but I'm powering through to deliver this week's episode.

Considering that, along with the usual challenges accompanying the onset of winter—like severe weather, the holiday shopping frenzy, and end-of-year blues—it seems fitting to name Episode 19 of Season 2 "Suck It Up."

Welcome to December! I hope you're enjoying a joyous holiday season. If not, let's all just suck it up and remember that in four weeks, we'll be ushering in a new year filled with fresh opportunities in 2025. Thank you for your continued support, and please keep sharing the good stuff, especially as we approach the year's end and beyond.

This week's "Random Song Encounters" episode arrives as Thanksgiving approaches in the US. We're on the move, broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, where we're celebrating with family.

Regardless of the holiday, the podcast continues with Episode 18 of Season 2, titled "Eat a Peach and Carry On," echoing the Allman Brothers Band during their last show at NYC's Beacon Theater in 2014. This is a twist on a saying by the band's late founder Duane Allman: "You can't help the revolution, because there's just evolution. Every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace." Here, we're simply advocating the importance of living each day fully, as if it might be your last, because ultimately, we never know when our time is up.

Once more, we've selected 15 standout tracks for your listening pleasure. Whether you're celebrating Thanksgiving or not, take a moment to be thankful, enjoy the day and week, and don't forget to share the good stuff!

Another Wednesday heralds the release of a new episode of Random Song Encounters for the masses. This week, we're broadcasting on the move again from Rockwall, Texas, which has become the new base for our daughter, her husband and grandchildren after their move from Arizona. We've tagged along to assist with the transition and are nearly ready to return to our SoCal desert musical retreat for a brief respite before Thanksgiving.

As always, we dedicate our podcast to all our listeners, aiming to broaden your musical horizons beyond what social media and mainstream music channels say is cool or happening. With this in mind, we've titled our latest Episode 17 "Especially for You," celebrating your choice to explore with us and, hopefully, to continue on this journey of musical randomness.

We're grateful for your engagement and support as we venture into uncharted podcast territory. Please spread the word and share the good stuff with one and all.

In light of this, we present Episode 16, aptly named "Spinning Wheel." We continue to spin a selection of 15 tracks spanning seven decades of fantastic music. So sit back, unwind, and let the music take you away as your wheels come to a rest for the duration of this episode.

This week's soon to be award winning podcast episode navigates the treacherous terrain of copyright law. It appears I've received a notice outlining my potential infringement due to a couple of tracks played in last week's episode. Hopefully, the fact that the podcast is in no way monetized, and the music played has been purchased by yours truly will help sway initial opinion, and Random Song Encounters can proceed without further disruption. In light of last week's events, our new Episode 13 is fittingly titled "Copyright Blues."

Our commitment to delivering 15 magnificent tracks weekly remains steadfast, and this episode is no exception. Spanning seven decades of musical brilliance, we persist in our mission to broaden your musical horizons.

We're grateful for your continued support and hope you'll join us on our journey through the diverse offerings of Random Song Encounters. Have a great week ahead, and don't forget to share the good stuff.

This week on Random Song Encounters, we lament the decline of public interaction due to the continuous evolution of social media platforms. Everyone is hidden behind tiny screens, avoiding face-to-face interactions. Thus, we've aptly named this week's Episode 12 "Tiny Screens."

Despite the theme, we've curated 15 excellent tracks for your auditory delight. So, sit back, set aside your tiny screen for a moment, and reconnect with the human experience, rather than trying to satisfy an algorithm or craft the next viral sensation—which might be nothing more than a squander of your time and energy.

Thank you for tuning in, and we hope you enjoy this week's episode.
