Poets, Philosophers, Workers and Wanderers opens with a terrific song “Let Me Sing You a Song”. And the terrific-ness of the album never stops! The album title s included in the verse of the song. And the song pretty much sums up Jenck’s political philosophy and pretty much mine!
So since it was fairly cool and mostly cloudy this morning, I thought maybe I would run. But when I got up and started to move around I noticed a pain in my left calf. The pain made me contemplate not running. So even though I was thinking about not running, I exercise as if I was going to run.
I first encountered the blues harp and rockin’ music of Houston’s blues harpist Steve Krase a few years ago.At that time, he had just release his second album Buckle Up. The title of my post was “Steve Krase Buckle Up – for a rockin’ blues ride!!’ I wrote that title because it perfectly fit Buckle Up. The great thing for fans of Steve Krase is that the title fits his current release Should’ve Seen It Coming just right too! Here’s some press about the new album!

I chose a course that I usually run when I am returning to running. It’s about 2.5 miles plus and takes around 30 some minutes.

So the question of the day is how can I get back to listening and writing about music? When I gave the question some thought, I came up with five ways to get re-ignite my music listening by getting more music into my daily life…..
This morning I really did not feel like doing a full 60 minute workout. I seriously considered only doing a light yoga workout. But the. I thought maybe a short 20 minute Tabata workout. So I created one on the workout app that I use. It consisted of 8 – 20 second intervals followed by 10 second rest of the following
Yesterday, I posted the first half of my Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue (s)Playlist. You can read about it here.
