I like my blog friends because they really know where it’s at. I am most recently introduced to Duke Special on my friend Steve’s blog so I thought I’d take a moment to pass this goodness along. As you all ALREADY know…I have a penchant for the odd so bear that in mind. Duke Special […]

My, that was a provocative title, wasn’t it? It could have been moreso but then it would not have actually fit the post itself and that’s just no good. Words of affirmation take me far. I already know that about me. I have this remarkable ability to take it in, digest it well and let […]

When I was in college I got into Kate Bush very big-like. I had a friend in the dorm who opened my eyes to a whole lot of “alternative” music I had not accessed before. On a whim, I walked into the college radio station one day (WWSU, “Dayton’s New Music Alternative” doncha know….) in […]

I wonder how much poetry I can post on this blog without completely driving my friends to drink.  Let’s just see, shall we?   I wrote this a few weeks ago after a low slung full moon captured me and just past that I had an online conversation with some artist types. Mainly, I think […]
