Stillhouse Junkies – Small Towns

Since this week’s theme is “It’s been a long time”, the first Roots Music charts I looked at this week we’re the Folk and Bluegrass Charts. Those charts along with the Folk DJ and Euro-Americana charts were where I found most of the new music I liked. However over the last several years, I have listened to more Blues, Jazz and New Age music. One of the reasons is many of my favorite artists including; Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark, John Prine, Leonard Cohen and Jesse Winchester have passed away and I can’t seem to find replacements for them.

Ok so a few days ago I was listening to Jerry Jeff Walker’s album Live at Gruene Hall. At the beginning of the album Jerry Jeff says…”It’s been a few years since we did a live album Let;s see if we can get the swing of things again” In that spirit I’ll say…”It’s been a few years since I blogged in a regular basis, let;s see if I can back into the swing of it again!!” Read More

Tom Paxton – Jennifer and Kate Hits Home!

Tom Paxton-Comedians and Angels

When I first started  blogging one of the first things I read said to write about what you know. Well I know a lot about things like the soils and geology of New Jersey and the design and operation of septic systems but I don’t think that will interest many people. So I guess I have to continue to write about books and music. Now many times I write about the new music I’m just discovering, not music I know. Well, tonight I’ll write about some music that I DO know that is the music of Tom Paxton. Read More

In order to facilitate that recovery, for the last several weeks I’ve been going to Physical Theraphy twice a week. Additionally, I’ve been working more at Target.Finally, last week in an attempt to get myself to write more I bought a new laptop. Read More

Ballad of William Worthy – Phil Ochs

“Ballad of William Worthy” – A Glimpse at the 60s

So last weekend, we went to the Antique Emporium in Burlington NJ and I browsed through some of the vinyl albums they had for sale. I ended up buying two albums. One was the album Raw Sienna from Savoy Brown. The other was All the News that’s Fit to Sing  from Phil Ochs. Of the two albums I am way more familiar with the Phil Ochs album. Read More

Ok so now that this site is about all aspects of my life and not just about the books I read or have read. And one of the things you will be reading about is my running.
