Safe Sensible Sane

Newly-released CD I just received on Thursday! Haven't listened to a note of it yet, and already I'm thrilled with it:

~ Liner notes

~ Listening to musicians' work in context

~ More direct $$ benefit to musicians

~ It's mine and I can listen "forever," whenever, without ads or skipping through content from other, sometimes related and sometimes not so much, artists

Spotify, Amazon Music, whatever - I get it. Millions of selections, all at a click - I get it. Less clutter - I get it (kind of). But I'm happy that there are enough people like me out there, keeping physical media (CD, vinyl) alive.

Bandana Rhythm

Fun afternoon with my favorite local band, Bandana Rhythm. They're rehearsing for their upcoming appearance at Hilloween, opening for Old Crow Medicine Show.

Good food, great musicians, and you can't beat the scenery of the rehearsal area. My cheeks still hurt from smiling!
