Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! First, let me say, it’s the 52nd anniversary of the start of Woodstock today (you’d have known that if you listened to today’s episode of Beeswax Vinyl Daily).

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I went to eat first at Cafe Arthur’s which we hadn’t been to in about 18 months. We then went to a drag carwash to get Anabelle washed for the second time in two days. Then, we hopped over to Underdog Records and then home to do some listening. Here’s the…

It’s dark, it’s ethereal and it kind of fits the times. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “There is no…
Salutations™!! A lazy, snowy day in WSNC yesterday. It was great, though. It was cold enough to snow and the ground warm enough to not allow it to stick to the roads. They were navigatable and it was beautiful. The flakes were big and fluffy. The BCPF and I loved it. It was cool to…
