Mothership Provides the Soundtrack for My First Run of 2021!
Ok so I’m thinking about going back to a larger variety of posts. The problem is my undiagnosed ADHD will not let me focus on just Books and Music. My life is too much more than just those two topics. Anyway l, while I still ponder how I want to expand the topics addressed on this blog here’s a post with a musical tie-in.

Brooks Williams Little Lion Kicks Off My Weekly CD Listens!
As part of my on-going effort to listen to music from MY music library, last week, I randomly selected five albums and loaded them into my CD player. Then at some point in the week I listened to them. I confess that I did listen to one of them twice? Any quesses on which one? Anyway here are the five albums…..
Wes Montgomery and Robben Ford Provide a Day of Blues and Jazz
So yesterday’s random numbers were 3 and 5. Those numbers led me to one blues album from Robben Ford and the Blue Line and a jazz album from Wes Montgomery. The Robben Ford album is his 1995 release Handful of Blues. The Wes Montgomery album was Movin’ Wes, released in 1964 on the Verve label.A New Idea leads to Stevie Ray and Bill Morrissey
You know what they say- out of site out of mind. Over the last week or so I do believe they may be right.
Recently, I decided to take the CDs I like out of storage and put them on shelves in my room. Yes I know I can play them all on my iPod or I can stream them on Spotify, but there is something about seeing and holding an album or CD that feels good and right.
Doc Watson – Elementary Dr. Watson – Day 12 Folk Music Challenge
John Gorka – Land of the Bottom Line – Day 11 Folk Challenge
I often divide my folk music collection into Roots, Branches and Leaves. The roots are artists who I listened to in the 560s and 70s. The branches are folks I discovered in the 80s through 2010. Finally, the leaves are musicians I have discovered since 2010, when I started to write about music. Today I listened to the music from one of those branches, John Gorka.
