Musings

I always enjoy pulling out autographed albums and remembering the stories behind them. If you click on the photos, you can read the stories behind each of these.

If you aren’t deeply alarmed by the loss of our freedom of the press, you should be. We’re literally seeing all the media in this country swallowed up by billionaires.

Day two of the Maine Mosrite expedition with my friend Adam Tober and his incredible collection.

Adam is definitely THE resource of knowledge when it comes to the guitars that Semie Moseley made in the 1970s and 1980s, an era I’m not as familiar with.

Jimmie Rodgers’s “Rodgers Puzzle Record” was released in 1931 in England, Australia, and India. It was a novelty record with three concentric grooves with three different songs.

Super sad news to wake up to this morning: Raul Malo of the Mavericks has passed away at the far-too-young age of sixty.

I don’t know if the Fairmont is the fanciest hotel in San Francisco, but it must be right at the top.

Just did a hotel lobby trade for a record I’ve been tracking down for twenty-five years: Joe Hall’s “Bongo Beatin’ Beatnik” on Global Records.

I plant my flag firmly in the dirt, and say this: AI SUCKS. I don’t care if they are going to make it “even better.”
