So last night as I worked burning, washing and sieving asphalt and its component parts, I listened to two fine folk albums. The first was the latest release from Cal Scott Carved Wood Box and the second was Walk Along John from Canadian mandolin virtuoso John Reischman. Currently, Cal Scott’s album is number 29 on [...]
So I put the iPod on random shuffle on the way to and from work at Target today and here’s the six songs that I heard! 1. “I Won’t Do That” – Joe Louis Walker – Hellfire – Hellfire was one of my favorite blues albums from last year just an all around good album! [...]
So the only good things about tonight’s run were the music and the end, everything else in between was a struggle! Running once a week is not a good thing – I have to get moving and do more! Several times during the run I had thoughts of altering the route and cutting the run [...]
Today I traveled over the Burlington-Bristol Bridge and out Street Road to the Costco in Warminster,Pa. The reason I traveled all that way today was to see about getting new hearing aids! Why go to Costco? – well their cost for hearing aids is one-half price of their competitors! I will be getting two aids [...]
So last night I came home last night and wasn’t sure whether I was going to run. I expressed that sentiment to my wife who reminded me that I feel better when I run! So that was the nudge that I needed to get me on the road. When I started my legs felt really [...]
After coming home from food shopping at Trader Joe’s this afternoon, I came within an eyelash of talking myself out of going for a run! I’ve done that successfully for most of April, between long days and knees that really didn’t feel 100%. But I told myself no, you are going to run. I thought [...]
So this afternoon’s soundtrack was provided by two instrumental albums, first up was the new album from Organissimo Dedicated followed by Kotebel’s 2012 release Concerto For Piano And Electric Ensemble. Both are really fine albums! I first heard Organissimo about two years ago, when I discovered their album Groovadelphia on the Roots Music Report Jazz [...]
So I’ve written before, that one of the things I like about Prog Rock is that the bands come from all over the world. The band that was the soundtrack for my ride down to the Garden State Parkway was the French band Delusion Squared. The album is their sophomore release appropriately titled II The [...]
So it does bode well for a run when within the first quarter-mile you start thinking to yourself, “You know my legs don’t feel very good, maybe I should just go back home”, which is exactly what happened today! But I kept going and turned inward and tried to concentrate on the music, which was [...]
Ok so yesterday we had a family gathering to celebrate Easter and Andrew’s 31 birthday, which is today. Anyway about midway through the day, Andrew went upstairs and came down with three albums by RPWL which I mentioned in the other days post about Blind Ego! So on the way down to the job site [...]
