Best Albums of 2019

Yesterday my top albums of 2019 show aired on Folk Music Notebook. This was my longest foray into solo radio, an hour and a half. I found it much easier doing live radio with Brian. Partially it was having Brian around, when I was lost as to what to say I’d insult Brian, or he […]

It’s Not About The Dreidel

Oh great, I promised to write about Chanukah today. That’s not fun? Why did I do that? Oh right, I have nothing to write about today and it’s important. Chanukah is not important as a holiday, but it teaches important lessons. I’m not talking about lighting the menorah or presents or even chocolate gelt. I […]

Top of the Charts is Coming

I didn’t blog yesterday and waited until almost three to start today? What’s up with me? Let’s blame the sleep apnea. In this case that’s legit; sleep apnea and procrastination. I knew that Ron Olesko wanted to air my top album of 2019 show on Folk Music Notebook some time between Christmas and New Year’s. […]

It’s Good to Be a Jew or Muslim at Christmas

I am going to fight the sleepiness, write my blog, and then pound out five segments for my Best Albums of 2019 Show for Folk Music Notebook. This will require a lot of coffee. Speaking of which, I have to fit a trip to the store in there, I’ll almost out of coffee and I […]

Happy Birthday Jesus

Merry Christmas. I’m not planning much for Christmas, much meaning anything. I will probably see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker by myself. If I find I can be productive recording for Folk Music Notebook, I’ll do that; it needs to be done. I did record one segment yesterday. I found it far easier being […]

You Realize of Course This Means WAR

The sleep apnea hit me like a ton of bricks today. I have been too sleepy to do anything including blogging or recording more for Folk Music Notebook. I’m not over it. I just yawned. Maybe I should make another pot of coffee and this time inject it straight into my veins. I’m going to […]

The Carol of the Village

Last night I went Christmas caroling with Terre Roche and friends, both Terre’s and mine. This is a highlight of every year and this year is no exception. Terre has been doing this every year since 1978 or so. I started in 1990, took a break when I lost touch with Terre and didn’t know […]

The Zen of Politics

Yesterday I stayed home and never got out of my pjs. Why? I’m an idiot; I was supposed to go to a latke party at Carol and Jeff’s house. I remembered that one minute before it was supposed to start. They live an hour and a half away so that wasn’t going to happen. I […]

Between the Drive and the Caroling

The three day WFUV member drive is over, so my life is back to normal. The plan yesterday was to volunteer for seven hours, 6 AM – 1 PM and then go to therapy. Then my therapist had to cancel. I figured I’d stay until 1 and then go shopping. But the supervisor that was […]

Within You Without You

Last thing I told you was that I was starting three days of volunteering at WFUV. I thought that the only way I’d have time to blog is if I could do it from the station. That plan had to be abandoned when they decided to up security on the computers we use to take […]
