I’ve talked about Dale Cole and the Virtual Village a few times and they have been on The Less Desirables a few times. DC&VV put together a compilation of area musicians, with…

Salutations™!! Here’s the phone conversation: The BCPF: “Hello.” Me: “So, baby… I love you!” The BCPF: “Um… I love you.” Me: “I fixed the shower (it had been leaking really badly (I was proud of myself – that’s another conversation)).” The BCPF: “Yay! Thank you.” Me: “And… I love you!” The BCPF (with trepidation): “I…

Snow Day or: We Do This the Easy Way

Salutations™!! You know, in the almost eight years of doing The Less Desirables, there has only been one Wednesday that we missed a show. I was in Costa Rica at the time and there were difficulties with the equipment and/or ProTools and Eugene had no clue what was going on. That wasn’t his fault. Even…

Dear John or: Silver in the Snow

Salutations™!! Today is December 8, 2017. It was December 8, 1980, when the world lost one of its most celebrated and controversial celebrities and brilliant minds.
