Good music is easy to find
Posted on January 04, 2009Despite the crap spewing from most radio stations (WWOZ excluded, of course), it?s not hard to find good music. Do what I did a few days ago: Read Keith Spera?s list of top 10 local (New Orleans, LA) CDs for...

A year-end reflection
Posted on December 26, 2008Here?s an excerpt from a Henri Nouwen collection that I?ve been reading off and on for weeks. It seems appropriate for the year?s end:When we speak about celebration we tend rather easily to bring to mind happy, pleasant, gay festivities...
Peace on earth, the war is over
Posted on December 24, 2008I?ve been to church this evening and gotten some good religion. Henceforth, I forsake war (at least for this year). So for the few readers remaining after the recent hostilities ...Meet Sungha Jung, a Korean lad who aspires to become...

Posted on December 21, 2008While searching for a good version of Santa Baby yesterday, I stumbled upon Jackie Beat?s version. I could have won this Christmas-video war if I had been willing to post it. Alas, it was just too offensive?even too offensive to...

I can?t do anything right
Posted on December 19, 2008For the last few days, I?ve searched for bad Christmas videos. Alas, I?ve found two amateur videos that are actually kind of good. Lousy weapons of war, but worth sharing.First, here?s a fellow who re-arranges some Christmas standards Bob Dylan...
