The New Album from Dion Makes a Struggling Run Better
Ok so I’m doing it again. I started to posts yesterday and I didn’t finish either one of them! So now rather than go back and write a little in each one of them I’ll just plot ahead and write a new posts. Recently, I haven’t run very often on Saturdays, but yesterday the weather conditions were slightly better than they were in Friday, so off I went, with the music of Dion providing the soundtrack.

Five Great Jazz Finds at the Princeton Record Exchange
So for the first time in a long time, my son and I made a trip to the Princeton Record Exchange (PREX) I believe it’s our first of 2020. Of course, the pandemic was a major reason for the length of time between our visits! Anyway, the five albums shown above are part of of the haul I brought home. All total, I bought eight albums for less than twenty dollars!

and Hopefully Blogging!!
So it’s been a long time since I spent an afternoon on the hunt for new music. Maybe even longer since I searched the Roots Music Bluegrass chart, but I did just that yesterday. I discovered several bands that I hadn’t heard of previously. I will try to write about several of these bands later in the week, but The Dead South is an initial favorite, The Dead South is a Canadian folk-bluegrass band hailing from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The band formed in 2012. However, the band’s fortunes took off when a 2014 video garnered over a million views on YouTube! Since then they have built an international following through a hefty touring schedule.
