So I finally got around to making an appointment for my yearly physical and blood work, I’m only about 5 months behind. So far everything is good EKG was fine as was my blood pressure 110/64 with a resting pulse of 56! The blood work results should come back early next week so we’ll see then about cholesterol, etc.
So on the left sidebar there is a playlist of some of my favorite songs from a variety of albums, most of which were released in July August and September of 2014. There are a couple that I’ve added from earlier months basically albums that I didn’t get around to writing about but still really enjoyed! So here’s the list of the albums that the songs were taken from to make the playlist!
So once again I listen to a band, I like their music , I go to read about the band and I find, the band is mostly a one-person band and the music fits into the Neo-Prog sub-genre!! In this instance, the band is Cosmograf and the rock project leader is Robin Armstrong, a multi-instrumentalist from Waterlooville (near Portsmouth) in the United Kingdom. (We pause now to give in to my ADD and to find out more about Waterlooville)

One of the albums that has been in my rotation for a couple of weeks now is the latest release from Umphrey’s McGee 
Similar Skin. Umprhey’s McGee is a crossover prog band with a large following known alternately as “Umphreaks” and “McGeeks. Here’s what they say on their website about the band…..
One of the aspects of my job at Lippincott Jacobs the I really enjoyed was making maps to be included in various reports. Typically, they were environmental maps showing the soils, geology, or the drainage areas on an around the area of a proposed project. To develop these maps I used several various GIS software. The point is that I love maps and geography, I like to know where places are in relationship to me and the rest of the world and it really upsets me when people, like my wife, don’t know or care where countries are located.I know it doesn’t really matter to your everyday life, but I just like that it is important as a citizen of the world that you know where countries are!! With that said, as I was looking through the various anniversaries and holidays that are observed around the world today, I thought maybe that’s a way to get a little geography in this blog. So here goes..

This afternoon I was listening to the latest release from Breaking Grass Just as Strong, after listening for a while, I went and found a video of the band seems that the band has everything I like fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo, and bass, wait! There’s no dobro! But I listened anyway and they are a damn fine band without the dobro and I will listen to Just as Strong a few more times before I write about it…. but thinking about the dobro got me thinking about Rob Ickes, and then I came across this post and thought I’d post it again!!!
