The return of Friday Night Music

Friday, July 26, 2024

My wife suggested this as an appropriate musical share, given the events of the last week or so.

It’s that time again

Friday, March 29, 2024

Almost forgot to keep up the tradition. This year I am going to dedicate this video to a certain very stable genius whose followers keep comparing him to Brian be claiming he’s being crucified. Maybe he should follow Eric Idle’s advice instead of constantly confessing to his crimes on his failing twitter rip-off. As to […]

Friday Night Music makes a reappearance

Friday, August 11, 2023

Along with some musings on our uncertain future. I chanced upon this video a few months ago. It features Rhiannon Giddens and Paul Simon singing Simon’s American Tune. I put it on my to-do app to post the following Friday, and I’ve been putting it forward a week ever since, for reasons too diverse to […]

It’s Good Friday again

Friday, April 7, 2023

Almost forgot to keep up the tradition. This year I am going to dedicate this video to a certain very stable genius whose followers keep comparing him to Brian by claiming he’s being crucified. Maybe he should follow Eric Idle’s advice instead of constantly confessing to his crimes on his failing twitter rip-off. As to […]

Friday Night Music, Giddens and Woody

Friday, February 10, 2023

My wife and I don’t disagree on much, but for reasons I can’t fathom she isn’t a folk music fan, so I listen to Folk Alley when she’s not around. So a few days ago, my wife being elsewhere, I was listening to a song and thought I recognized the voice of the truly great […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, April 16, 2021

Just had to pass this along, something I saw on Crooks & Liars. Mick Jagger and Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters celebrating the upcoming (we hope) end of the pandemic. Not bad for a couple of geezers.

Looking on the bright side, a CT Blue tradition

Friday, April 2, 2021

Yet another Good Friday has arrived. This blog has a Good Friday tradition, and traditions must be respected, so once again, let the folks from Monty Python remind us that we should always look on the bright side. In fact, it’s easier to follow that advice this year than it has been for a while, […]

Friday Night Music, Connecticut Edition

Friday, March 19, 2021

A week or so ago, I got yet another app for my IPad and IPhone, an internet radio app called Radio Garden. It’s a fun app. You can explore a map of the world, and find radio stations by location. You can also search by name and, to a certain extent, genre. Anyway, I chanced […]

Inaugural Playlist

Wednesday, January 20, 2021

As I write this, or begin to write this, there are 21 hours and 58 minutes to go, but the end is in sight, so here’s some music to get in the right mood. I retired that some of these have no video, but you take what you can get. First up, because it’s the […]

Bruce chips in for Biden

Tuesday, August 18, 2020

My wife sent me a link to this video, which I thought was great. One of the things that Republicans are good at is hitting Democrats in their strong spots and making many of them believe that they have to back away from a source of strength. For instance, the Republicans have often attacked Democrats […]
