A couple of these pieces lend themselves to just sitting back and letting the musical experience waft over you.  We’ll start with one of those as it’s the perfect day for it:   Brian Eno channels Lou Reed. In 2016. Who’da’thunk? Another ‘wafting over you’ song. And it’s GREAT: Had no idea this was a […]

No, he wasn’t an Okie from Muskogee.  He was a country bard from Oildale, California, and he was one of the most empathetic songwriters of the last 50 years.  I also think he was one of the greatest.  He was especially attuned to the plight of working people.  Here are some of my favorites, all […]

Let’s Lighten Things Up – I Saw Deadpool Last Night

We aren’t a big “go out to the movies” couple. Normally, we prefer to stream – so we can rewind when we miss lines, grab a drink/snack and take bathroom breaks. That makes me feel old.

Yep, Mr. Pandora and I laughed out loud. It was clever and fun.

FYI: This is not a children’s movie. Not. One. Bit.
