  • CMA Writers Series at Joe’s Pub Featuring Rascal Flatts Songs

    In November, we attended our first CMA Writer’s Series event at Joe’s Pub, and covered it in this post. As mentioned in that post, we purchased tickets that night for the next in the series, which was last night. Whenever we can, we reserve the same table for two, and last night, we […]

  • Lost Season 3 on DVD

    Well, mid-January has arrived, and as predicted, we found some time to hunker down and watch Lost Season 3 on DVD. We started on Sunday, and with a push to stay up much later than we typically do, finished the entire season at midnight last night. There are 23 episodes in season three, […]

  • Bill Cooley Now More Accessible

    I am very happy to announce that Bill Cooley now has a MySpace page. I have raved about Bill ever since seeing him live with Kathy Mattea at Joe’s Pub. The only problem was that spreading the word about how great this guy is was difficult, because his CDs weren’t as easy to […]

  • Candyrat Records

    I have written twice now about Magnatune as a real leader in the new age of publishing music. I am completely impressed with their business model and operation, and if you missed the first post, here it is. Candyrat Records is another cool online music label, but they don’t quite measure up to […]

  • Jeff Wahl on Magnatune

    In this post, I wrote about a wonderful online record label called Magnatune. I mentioned that I had downloaded three albums by a specific artist, but wouldn’t mention that artist in the post. His name is Jeff Wahl, and he’s another great acoustic guitarist. In my next post, I’ll finally tell how I […]

  • Rethinking Online Poker

    I started playing online poker in September 2004. It instantly became an obsession. For the first 10 months, I believe that I missed only one single day where I didn’t play. I still play a ton, but it’s definitely well beyond the obsession stage. In the past year, I have gone two weeks […]

  • HDTV Transition Continues

    In September, in this post, I reported that we finally broke down and bought our first HDTV. As predicted, after watching the new TV for nearly four months, I started presenting all of the holiday deals on HDTV’s to Lois, whenever I saw them. I know she considered it nagging, rather than presenting. […]

  • Abigail Washburn and Sparrow Quartet at Joe’s Pub

    At the bottom of this very long post, I mentioned that Lois and a friend were going to see Abigail Washburn at Joe’s Pub, on April 3rd, 2007. I went to see the Allman Brothers Band on the same night with that friend’s husband, so I didn’t blog about Abigail, even though Lois […]

  • Phil Keaggy Beyond Nature

    In this post, I mentioned that I intended to buy Beyond Nature and Freehand – Acoustic Sketches II by Phil Keaggy. Then, in this post, I explained how I was going to get it, namely, in a bundle from philkeaggy.com (including a repeat of Acoustic Sketches, which I had previously purchased as a […]

  • Magnatune.com Totally Nails Music

    I’ve had a number of music-related posts kicking around my head of a while now, and I’ve even threatened publicly to finally birth my Pandora and Last.fm post. It’s coming, as are a few other music posts in the next week. However, I just discovered an online music label called Magnatune this past […]
