Mama’s Broke but Plays Great Music

I have so much to write about and limited time. I could have said that each of the last three days when I haven’t written. Over the last three days I’ve seen three concerts and a basketball game.

Radar Love

Yay, I have things to write about. There’s music, there’s friends, and there’s medical news. Let’s play this backwards and start in the evening. It was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. The original lineup included two Budgiedome alumni, Martin Swinger and Quarter Horse. Then with less […]
