Growing up in rural America I was exposed to the Country music of the late 1960's and early 1970's. It was quite popular among the parents of most of the kids near where I lived, so I'd see the albums and hear some of the music. At the time, I …Well, my computer is back. I spent Friday evening checking it out - seems to be the same. To protect the computer against possible power surges (not necessarily the reason why the motherboard quit - Geek Squad said no - but maybe), I bought an …Anyone famous die this week (Gordie Howe was 88 - doesn't count)? No. Any big news happen this week (Clinton as presumptive nominee doesn't count - has been so for a while)? No. Anything stuck in my craw? No. So it's a quiet Sunday, with chores…Muhammad Ali was the greatest. He was the greatest not only because he was a great fighter, but that he was one of the most personable athletes that ever lived. He was smart, funny, telegenic, and principled. He refused to be drafted and was strippe…What a lovely way to begin June - sunny out today with highs around 70 degrees Farenheit (20 C). After the scramble to get my new computer working like my old computer, I've built a small backlog of special podcasts that I will be rolling out m…It's Sunday morning and I am sitting on my deck, looking out at my lawn, which I spent all of yesterday working on. Whew, my wife thought that I was stopping work at noontime yesterday, but I was just taking a half-hour break before returning to wor…So with the inevitable nomination of Donald Trump...too soon? It's a lazy Sunday - sure, I have a bunch of lawn stuff and other summer prep to do today, as well as shopping, cleaning and laundry, but overall it's a lazy Sunday, since I can work…My old computer broke - motherboard issues. I got a new computer and had the old hard drive (mostly) transferred to the new computer, but it took a long time (still semi-unsure why). So I've been without a computer for a week. I must say that o…Just flew back from California, and boy are my arms... are reduced to this level of humor. I am tired, as it took most of the week to get acclimated to the time difference, and now I have to get re-set to this time zone. Sad, isn't it?My computer died on Monday (before Prince, Michelle McNamara, Lonnie Mack, and Richard Lyons (Negativland) died - this has got to stop). It was a good, solid computer that gave me no trouble until it died suddenly. We tried to save it, but the …When I was young I had a great memory. I was very smart and could remember things so well that I didn't develop good study habits until late in college. When I was in high school and early college I acted in plays for the high school and a comm…April showers bring May flowers, according to Bugs Bunny (really, where else have you heard this?), but what does April snow bring? Grumbling, resentment, a desire to move to warmer climes? We've had a mild winter, but I figured that our spring…I'm currently reading a book called "Every Song Ever" by New York Times columnist Ben Ratliff. I'd read an article with him about the changes in music and how people are now streaming music as opposed to purchasing the music via LP, CD and down…I like all kinds of music. This morning I was listening to a Northern Soul compilation, and recently I've been playing a lot of jazz. Jazz seems to have a small, loyal audience. I'm not sure why it isn't more popular - there are many different …Yes, I was quite proud of the pairing.It's Easter Sunday, did you know that? It's one of the earliest days Easter can be on. Rarely does Easter fall in March - it won't be in March again until 2024.The 22nd is actually the earliest it can be, but that won't happen for …Let me tell you about my dream last night: I was in a post-apocalyptic world, and ...wait, where are you going? I haven't told you that Bernie Sanders was driving the jeep. I don't like to hear about people's dreams. They're not that interesti…I'm with kargatron - I definitely have the endowment effect. In fact, my streaming essentially boils down to listening to new music (to purchase later if I like what I hear), and streaming what I already have (for the most part. I am listening to th…You young'un. Git offa my lawn!Where were you in 1966? Were you in 1966? I was, and I am remembering it more and more since I began this podcast. I was in Madawaska, Maine that year, and lots of things happened, including the beginning of visits to the principal's office (wh…I forgot - this morning we sprang forward (springed? - we've been changing verb tenses at a rapid pace. This old-timer remembers the irregular tenses). It was talked about enough, but that doesn't mean that it remained in my memory. My mind isn…Well, it's that time of year - caucuses and primaries in the United States. Perhaps your state has already voiced its choice. If so, I hope that you participated. If not, go out and vote (or caucus, or whatever). I think that it's important, in…It's a lazy Sunday today. Oh, sure, there's laundry to be done, marinade to be made, and vegetables to be chopped, but other than that my chores are done. In this post-NFL world there are no games on today to watch (and my NBA team played yeste…I was thinking about telephones the other day, and the history of the telephone in my lifetime. When we moved to Farmington Falls in 1967 one of the features of the old farmhouse we moved into that my mother really liked was the old-fashioned c…When I think of 1986, I think of the Iran-Contra affair (look it up, kids). Another despicable move by the U.S. Government. Let's not go back to the Reagan era, shall we?This podcast looks back 30 years at the music…
