Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 3/27/21

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I had a full plate of activities to do yesterday. We went to a farmers market. We ate lunch. We went to Underdog Records. We went to The Butcher’s Block, a new butcher shop in downtown. We listened, we stayed in for dinner. I cooked a fantastic “charcuterie” board of wild…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Saviour of the Universe

Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of the US release of the soundtrack to Flash Gordon from Queen. Now, I understand the film was probably crap to some of you, but to me, I fell in love with it because I am a fantasy/sci fi fan. I dig it. Plus, I love Queen so… this…

Sounds Like Saturday or: A Little Self-Serving Jazz

Salutations™!! Today is the 42nd anniversary of Queen’s Jazz. A couple of years back, the Vagabond Saints society did a full on Queen show. I sang lead on two tunes and in the choir for the rest of the show. Both of the songs I sang lead on came from this album, “Fat Bottomed Girls”…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Skipping Ahead

Salutations™!! Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of one of my favorite albums from Queen, The Game. The first song I ever heard from Queen was “Another One Bites the Dust.” We didn’t have a lot of choices for rock music in 1980, so it was awesome. I hadn’t gotten into being a musician at the time…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 6/6/20

Salutations™!! Yesterday, The BCPF and I got to go back to Underdog Records for the second straight week. We also ate inside a restaurant, albeit briefly. So, we tried to get some normalcy. We got another good haul this week and a few imports. I don’t usually go for that kind of thing but, these…

Spinning Sunday or: The Listen 5/2/20

Salutations™!! I am so longing for the opportunity to get back into Underdog Records and rummage through the used albums, some new albums and just to see Jonathan again. This is getting rougher as the time slips away. We’ve eaten well, though. This week was a lot shorter in both the headphone/streaming listening and the…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 8/18/18

Salutations™!! We changed up our routine yesterday a bit because Mary’s Gourmet Diner was on vacation. We went to Underdog Records first and then went to a new place to eat breakfast/lunch. You’ll need to watch The Man Who Ate the Town blog (and listen to the podcast) to find out more about that experience….
