List My Twenty Favorite Male Vocalists

Last post I said I can’t dance. Guess what? I can’t sing either but you’ll see me singing along at any concert I go to. You’ll SEE me but you won’t hear me. I will leave that to people who can so to take a cue from Music Listography by Lisa Nola, here in no

Okay folks, I am posting this after my guest DJ spot on Finn Valley FM, The Big Easy Mix hosted by Cliff Whitham in Saint Johnston, Ireland. By the time this post goes live Jean-Robert Lafont and I will have been in county Donegal and Derry for five days, including one day trip to Belfast,

List Twenty Desert Island Discs

I have done this list before elsewhere. “Desert Island Discs” is a fun list to compile and I take a different view on what albums make my list. Yes, I could just tell you my favorite albums of all-time but to me, this list is about long-term survival, like on one of my favorite television

My gift to my friends in Manchester

Concerts for the month of February in the Valley of the Sun … and San Francisco!

Hello everyone, It would be really nice if one of you could find me a Bob Mould Copper Blue ticket for the February 24 Copper Blue show at the Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco. I promise I will get you a donut from Karl’s Bakery if you do and yes, they are that
