  • Discovering Stephen Bennett

    I just wrote a very long post a few minutes ago. At the end, I mentioned that I was sure I left out some additional nuisances. It turns out, that what I left out was one of the more important positives of the evening. It’s enough to warrant a small post on it’s […]

  • Andy McKee with Antoine Dufour and Craig D’Andrea

    Last night, Lois and I went to Canal Room to hear three amazing acoustic guitarists, Andy McKee, Antoine Dufour and Craig D’Andrea. I have written about all three before, as well as their label Candyrat Records in this post. I also posted about Andy McKee (including how I discovered him) in this post. […]

  • Congratulations

    First and foremost, the heartiest possible congratulations to our goddaughter and her fiance on their Valentine’s Day engagement! (I just learned something in checking the spelling of the word finace! With one “e” at the end, it’s the male in the engagement, with two e’s at the end, it’s the female. Who knew? […]

  • Al Jarreau and Najee at the Beacon Theater

    The Beacon Theater has been running a Valentine’s Day Concert for some number of years, sponsored by CD101.9, the local NYC Smooth Jazz radio station. Last year was the first time Lois and I went, and we saw Dave Koz, along with David Benoit and Jonathan Butler. The mention of that concert was […]

  • Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood at Madison Square Garden

    Lois and I have never watched a complete episode of American Idol, and the only time we’ve even seen a reasonable portion of one was at our godson’s apartment, the night that Jordin Sparks won. So, we didn’t know Carrie Underwood from that show (though, of course, we knew of her). We fell […]

  • Borders CD Deal

    Borders is currently running a deal where each customer can purchase up to three CDs at any of their stores at 40% off each CD. It’s a three day deal, with tomorrow being the last day. I don’t know if you need to be a Borders Rewards member, but I think you do. […]

  • Canada Rocks

    We love a number of Candian artists. They are producing very fresh sounds north of the border. At the top of our list is/are The Wailin’ Jennys. Some others include The Duhks, Celine Dion, Don Ross, Antoine Dufour, Barenaked Ladies, Chantal Kreviazuk, Shania Twain, Sarah McLachlan and many others. Today, I was alerted […]

  • A Semi-Vacation

    As is now our annual custom, immediately after enjoying a wonderful Superbowl party with our friends in Richmond, we headed out early this morning on the long drive to Florida, to visit my folks. We drove for 10.25 hours today and are now in Daytona Beach, immediately across the street from the speedway. […]

  • Online Music Services

    I’ve threatened for a few months now to write a Pandora vs Last.fm post. Every week, I decide to finally write it, and then procrastinate again, for numerous reasons. Recently, I decided to boil it down to a very few points, just to get it out (finally). But, before doing so, I decided […]

  • Nice Surprise From FestivaLink Today

    Who knew this blogging thing would pay off so big? 😉 Seriously though, today I got an unsolicited email from the good folks at FestivaLink.net. That should immediately redirect you to a specific subdomain on LiveDownloads.com. I was one of (who knows how) many people that were all bcc’ed on the email. It […]
