I'm just so upset at this that I need to rant a minute. The attack in Charleston, SC was horrible, but some of the responses to the attack were just as bad. It was racially-motivated, but to have the governor of the state say "we'll never under…I was thinking about doing a B.B. King tribute after the legend died, so I started gathering up some blues records. Thought I'd do a brief history and show where B.B. King stood in the pantheon. A funny thing happened to me, though - I started …Thank you all for the heartfelt sympathy toward my dog. It's been tough, but we're getting through it.Since I've gotten all fat and lazy lately, I decided that I needed to get onto better shape, so I've started the …Fiona is no more. She didn't get any better, and we ended her life. It was pretty sad - although she was not eating, drinking or going to the bathroom, her bladder infection had cleared up, so she was walking close to normal again. The Doctor s…My dog's 13th birthday was on May 5. She had diarrhea for the next week, but then it cleared up. The last Saturday, she became very lethargic and stopped eating. We took her to the vets on Tuesday but she still didn't get better. Yesterday (Sat…Hello and welcome. Today is a very special day - I've been doing my podcast for a year now. I've enjoyed putting together these podcasts for you, and I have a small but sincere audience who listens - thank you. If not for you I would have stopp…Hello and welcome to one of my midweek podcasts. This is a jazz podcast, and in putting it together, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of new jazz I had purchased this year, so 8 of the 9 songs were released in 2015, and the final song w…Started the podcast but got really sleepy - a bit unusual for me, but changed things up a bit in recording the podcast. Don't know if age is catching up with me, because there are days when I find it's tough to do much - I never had those days …I hate to harp on this, but the weather until yesterday has not been great this spring. Temperatures are supposed to jump beginning today, so we'll see. With a scheduled high of 82 Fahrenheit on Monday, maybe we're skipping spring and going str…In 1985 I was trying to be a responsible adult. I had a full-time job, a wife and a son (and I still have all 3, albeit a much better job). I didn’t have the time I used to have to stay up with music, but I did make a valiant effort. Since MTV …I downloaded it yesterday - saw that he had a new one (searching through Spotify). Gave a listen, a thumbs up , and a load down. Excellent stuff.I've been killing myself this week - I've had problems uploading files to the blog, so potentially there was no podcast this week. I have limited technical skills here and did not know how I was going to fix this.Fi…I use CloudScrob, too. Agreed that while not automatic, it works fairly easily. I don't listen to music a lot from my iPhone, but enough that I update every week or so.I'm posting late - I was kidnapped this morning and forced to have fun. We went to Plum Island, near Newburyport, MA. We share a beach with the piping plovers- they get 90% of the beach and we get the ends of the beach. There's still plenty of …We re-did our kitchen about 5 years ago (time flies). When we did that,I looked around and said, "Now that we have a nice kitchen, it would be nice if we used it to make good food." So I started actually cooking - looking at recipes and making …Today I posted another special edition of the PB podcast. Today we travel back to the year 1980. The podcast will feature songs from that year. 1980 was not only 35 years ago, but was an important year for me. I was finishing my 2nd year in col…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 e…The inevitability of growing old isn't a constant thought - I still feel the same way I did when I was eleven years old - I'm not so sure that's good, but just the way it is. I usually see it in others, though, and now I'm experiencing it with …Hello, and welcome to another special edition of the podcast - the occasional Jazzcast that I'm posting for you. There's nothing fancy going on today - no 2015 releases, no 75th anniversaries, just some good jazz music that I've been listening …
Keep On Your Mean SideHi Thom,A very quick, cursory reading of the internet agrees with your reading - there is no single authority involved with licensing - I know people have gotten cease and desist orders in the past - they're not always legitima…Hi Thom,Truthfully I've never worried about the licensing aspect - I guess that I should, although I am far from the only one who does podcasts like this (which is the worst argument I could make if push comes to shove). I've a…Feels like -1 degree Farenheit? It must be spring. Does my dog want to take a short walk? The Siberian Husky demands her long weekend walk. The Red Sox start playing in Fenway on April 13 - will that be ready? We'll see. It's the end of March a…If there are only 2 who have scrobbled them, then I am one of them, as I am on the Domino drip and usually try to listen as soon as possible (within a day or so). Enjoyed and will probably listen to them again by the end of the weekend.March has brought in rains. I'd complain, but since I won't have to shovel it later, I'm good. We know that April showers bring May flowers, but March rain? Other than decreasing the size of snow banks (and the return of sidewalks that were pre…Today is the day we sprang forward (wait - in English we're making all verbs regular verbs - I guess we springed forward - ugh, let's stay irregular). Daylight Savings Time is back, which means that I get to drive to work in the dark again. In …Hello, and welcome to another edition of the PB Podcast. I am on vacation right now, enjoying warm weather and staying far away from the awful, snowy New England winter.
Lesley Gore recently passed away, and there was an unusual amount of…
