Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Well, the first step of getting 3B on the track to compliance with his speeding ticket has been accomplished. That first step is getting him registered for the “Alive at 25” course at FTCC. But, getting that done took a lot more steps than is really needed. Since he is only 16, we had…
Salutations™!! Yesterday, I cleaned up all the records that Ray Morgan had brought me. Because I only use my Vinyl Styl cleaner every once in a while, when I fill it and use it, I want to get all that I can out of it. It takes me about 20 minutes to wash 15 records…
Salutations™!! The good thing about people knowing that you’re into records, and collect them and play them and so on, is that people come to you first when they’re ready to part with their collections. Yesterday, when Ray Morgan came over to the Lab at Industry Hill, he had “candy” with him! And, by “candy,”…
Salutations™!! As much as I love this city of mine, the grand ol’ WSNC, I worry that I’m starting to become a curmudgeon like my bestest buddy, Eugene. Why you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. I understand that we’ve known the Business 40 shutdown has been coming for the last decade (or so it seems)….
Salutations™!! Yesterday, The BCPF and I got off to an earlier-than-usual start and had breakfast and then ran by Underdog Records. We were there before they opened so we got first dibs on his wares, but not until he opened, of course, we don’t do that. The record-listening time was cut short because we judged…
Salutations™!! Today is the 49th anniversary of the release of Chicago II and perhaps its best-known tune is the Robert Lamm penned/Peter Cetera sung “25 or 6 to 4.” I’ve said several times before that I am not a fan of the older Chicago stuff, but this song does rock. This cover is by a Russian/Ukrainian…
Salutations™!! Do you remember your first speeding ticket? I remember mine. And, it wasn’t my first ticket. I had gotten a ticket for an illegal traffic move when I merged in front of another driver when I was almost 17. Then when I was 17, I was traveling to West Virginia to see a girlfriend…
Salutations™!! Last night I was trying to get everything done so I will admit that my post was a bit on the short side. But, I forgot to mention that the film I was watching was The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969). It stars Maggie Smith, her real-life husband Robert Stephens, Pamela Franklin and others….

Salutations™!! I recorded two podcasts today. First, on Fan Interference, Hailey Brooke and TC talked about the NFL playoffs, the bad calls, the mayhem, the Super Bowl, NBA, sports, sports, sports. You can listen to us spouting off HERE. Then on The Less Desirables, we had my buddy Josh Schuminsky and his biz partner, Dawn…
Salutations™!! I told you last week that I was on a podcast that wasn’t mine called The Pop-Up Podcast. That show dropped early yesterday but Mondays are one of my busiest days and I had to work. But, today, I am dropping the ep right here. Promise Mangum is the host and does a good…
