Friday Night Music-Bed Sidran

Friday, February 5, 2010

I freely admit to being an amateur so far as jazz is concerned. It’s a big musical world out there, and I’ve really only explored the capital cities of jazz. (Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, etc.) This is by way of saying that I have no idea where Sidran stands among jazz aficionados. I […]

Friday Night Music-John Prine

Friday, January 29, 2010

This is getting progressively more difficult, though it’s amazing how much good stuff you can dig up with roots to the bygone era in which I grew up, musically speaking (if nothing else). If you have a smartphone, such as an Iphone, I highly recommend that you download Pandora, a free music delivery program. You […]

Friday Night Music, take one Zoloft and see me in the morning

Friday, January 22, 2010

This has been one of the more depressing weeks on record, what with the people of Massachusetts having an episode of decompensation, the Democrats having several, and the Supreme Court giving democracy the coup de grâce, though, truth to tell, the week has not been entirely yuck free on a personal level. Still, it seems […]

Friday Night Music, Early Edition

Friday, January 15, 2010

My wife and I are going to Keene, NH today, and may very well be without meaningful internet access tonight. At this stage in my life, that’s a little like saying that an alcoholic will be without his bottle, but I think I’ll make it. We’re going to a Little Feat concert. In truth and […]

Friday Night Music-Jackson Browne

Friday, January 8, 2010

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted music, the holidays having gotten in the way. Today’s selection was inspired by a bittersweet event that I attended earlier today. I attended a memorial service for Bill Hescock, former North Stonington first selectman, chairman of the North Stonington Democratic Town Committee, loyal Democrat and enthusiastic […]

Bonus music

Sunday, December 20, 2009

Just finished digging out here, and the annual Christmas letter, which gets harder every year. This video will probably be all over the internet soon, so I’m trying to get ahead of the curve. Yes, I know it’s corporate sponsored and all that, but I’m a softie.

Friday Night Music-Happy Holidays

Friday, December 18, 2009

A holiday concert. Bruce Springsteen with a classic Bob Dylan, veering toward the bizarre. I haven’t the slightest idea if there are even any Chanukah songs out there, except the Chanakuh Song, so here’s Adam Sandler: Speaking of music, in a short while my wife and I will be going to the farewell concert, the […]

Some great rock and roll

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

I am basically taking the night off, this being the first day in a while when there is no where I have to go and nothing I have to do. Now that I’m finished with work that is. By way of recompense, or added reward, depending on the way you look at it, let me […]

Friday, December 4, 2009

Friday Night Music-Doubleheader

Friday, November 27, 2009

A couple of minor stars in the 60s firmament. First, Lou Christie. Back in the 80s PBS ran an oldies special on which he appeared. He gave a great performance. Unfortunately, it’s not on youtube, so far as I could see. An interesting factoid I picked up looking through his performances: one of his hits, […]
