Average White Band performing in 2013 – Wikimedia Highlighting this band seems a bit out of my character for Music Monday (except for being 1970’s music), but hearing “Pick Up The Pieces” by the Average White Band in the car on SiriusXM triggered a good memory. My Ohio Northern University roommate Jerry Moody was a […]

Like clockwork, it was time to either renew or cancel SiriusXM (again). I refuse to pay the month to month rate with them or the very few newspaper/magazine subscriptions I still use that does the same thing. Thankfully I marked my calendar with a notification as to the last day to cancel service … otherwise the […]

After years of posting what I suspect are now considered “oldies” for Music Monday posts, I’ll at least start 2019 with a change. The Christmas season was a chance to listen to holiday music performed by a variety of different artists, and as I have in the past, enjoyed songs by almost all contemporary country […]

With Rumours of Fleetwood Mac coming to Cincinnati, it is time to get in the mood by adding another one of their live YouTube hits to the blog. One wonders how long music will continue to be available on YouTube, although just as with air-play radio for decades, it is still a way for musicians […]

It’s an on the road Music Monday … and I realized my OLD iPod Shuffle is loaded with almost all Jack Johnson songs. No problem picking one out … how about track two from Johnson’s 2005 Curious George album called Broken … although can’t think of any music he has recorded that I dislike? While […]

While listening to music from a few decades ago on SiriusXMRadio, and having just included Juice Newton in a previous Music Monday post, I heard a “before my time” rendition of Angel Of The Morning … thinking, “that’s not the version I remember?” After the 1968 Merrilee Rush recording peaked my curiosity, I wondered who […]

It may only be my music taste … or due to heading of to the music listening college days … but the Fleetwood Mac album "Rumours" album was probably the best of 1977 — I still think every cut was excellent. While cooling off in the pool this weekend after outdoor chores (and some sunburn), […]

In keeping with the Music Mondays theme, the Steve Miller Band concert was last week at Riverbend in Cincinnati. It is hard to believe the band has been playing over 50 years … and still being enjoyed by fans (this year Peter Frampton joined the tour). I recall listening to the 1970s albums on 8-track […]

During a couple evenings last week I enjoyed a Twitter back and forth with Charlie Wilde, a disc jockey filling in for the vacationing JJ Walker on SiriusXM 70s on 7. Our conversation turned to Cincinnati and the radio industry we both remembered a few years ago … and of course the hit 70s TV […]

As a Fox Business addicted viewer, I keep a live-feed running much of the day just as others do for music, talk radio or sports. One of the challenges is that it isn’t convenient or available, especially in a low bandwidth, "just" audio feed … unless I’m in the car and listening on SiriusXM Radio. […]

My mobile life is FINALLY working the way it should, just as my road life is slowing down. I’ve been monkeying around with the "mobile office" for A LOT of years starting with a 1999 AWD Chrysler Town & Country back in the late 1990s before mounting my Palm Treo in my great little Volkswagen […]

Although it has been posted on my blog before (6 years ago) in a live version, Summer Breeze by Seals and Croft has been buzzing in my head ever since hearing it on SiriusXM "The Bridge" (that channel — #32 — has become my preferred music station when in the car — although usually I’m […]

It’s depressing to be back from a few days of sun (and rain), after a long drive from Florida yesterday, but also good to be home. It has been a morning clearing a few bills and accumulated mail off my desk and a light work day before Superbowl XLVIII weekend. One piece of mail, a […]

I’ve posted a few Van Session links in the past and figured why not at a SiriusXM Jam_ON session recording a “Little Too Late.” It has been fun watching the Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers expand their audience last year as they toured the country. The “cream rises the top” and it is great to […]

SiriusXM Radio’s The Spectrum (ch28) highlighted Jack Johnson on Wednesday afternoon and I just happened to be in the car to enjoy the broadcast. I’ve also recently installed a RAM Mount for my Honda Pilot and decided to test out the WavePad app and decided to send the mp3 audio clip to my nephew (both […]
