…when they’re seen with their parents! I wish there were more pictures spread across the decades in this feature. All these people are from the Seventies and now they’re grandparents.

Today the Thin White Duke is 62 and the King would be 74 (because I’m confident he died in 1977). Hopefully the first birthday boy will have a new album out soon, I really enjoyed his last two.

I finally got around to adding all the great CDs I bought at Waterloo Records’ Black Friday sale and according to my FileMaker Pro database I now have 2300 albums in this (allegedly) dying format. It’s a puny number compared … Continue reading →

Most of you who don’t live in the Louisana-Texas area are probably going “Who?” at the mention of this band. Maybe your memory would be jogged over their one big, national hit “Jenny Says” from 1996-7 which got them on … Continue reading →

Drat! I realized that I missed his 50th birthday while “researching” this story. Maybe if Neil wrote a song like his brother’s “Haul Away,” I could remember it better. Tonight I’m off to see Cowboy Mouth for the second time … Continue reading →

Woo hoo! I actually got to hear my stream play this milestone song because I accidently “cheated” on making it happen. Yesterday, I took the Mini (which would also take Picayune and KMAG offline) offsite to be backed up before … Continue reading →
