I am still poking at my resurrected website, trying to update old posts, retrieve dead links, etc. I’ve also had some time sitting at home, remoting in… Continue reading Musical Cheese: The Saga Began

Woodstock 50: The "Woodstock" Song
So as it turns out, there is no “Woodstock 50” concert. The fact that its last gasp involved moving it to Maryland from upstate New York should have been the last nail in the coffin, but it kept on for a little while before the plug was pulled. As I’m writing this, though, I’m listening… Continue reading Woodstock 50: The "Woodstock" Song

Ungena Za Ulimwengu
(Unite The World) This was the Temptations’ 1970 follow-up to “Ball of Confusion (That’s What the World is Today)”. If anything, it was even more adventurous and relevant, and deserved to be a much bigger hit than it was. This was the Temptations’ 1970 follow-up to “Ball of Confusion (That’s What the World is Today)”.… Continue reading Ungena Za Ulimwengu
What I Learned Today #2: Herbie Flowers
This comes from the fine radio show “Mint,” which, regrettably, is being pulled from the BBC 6 schedule: Herbie Flowers is someone you’ve heard, if you’ve heard classic rock at all. He’s a session bass player who started out playing tuba on cruise ship bands in the early 60’s, and began to pick up the… Continue reading What I Learned Today #2: Herbie Flowers

Musical Cheese Archive: 29 February 2012
I guess this has been pretty low on my list of priorities, but I do slog along with it.

For the first time in nearly 30 years, I was… Continue reading Musical Cheese Archive: 29 February 2012
Musical Cheese II: The saga continues!

Back in the Booth! My Musical Cheese show

And that one-class certificate course I’m taking at Illinois Institute of Technology is my ticket. Once I knew I… Continue reading Back in the Booth! My Musical Cheese show
