I received one of the most beautiful SMS’s ever today. Is that how we say SMS in the plural? Doesn’t really matter. Case in point: “I received one of the most beautiful SMS’s ever today.” It was from my father, who’s never cared much about his spelling, only about the message: Cheers, Pop. Happy Birthday,…

Garage Sale Jukebox
Here we see a picture of David Browne posing for his pseudo-wedding portrait [long story] back in 2006. He and his bride, Sarah Lukacs, are old pals of ours from our days living in Seattle, where these two still live and are always up to one scheme or another. His latest is Garage Sale Jukebox….
Searching for a Heart of Gold
My new pal, David Cevoli, wrote earlier this week about the influence Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and others of that era have had and continue to have on him. He’s a gifted musician and though I’ve not had a chance to listen to him in person, I’ve listened to the demos he’s posted on ReverbNation…

Hips Don’t Lie
In addition to Black Blondie, co-composing an all original repertoire, Tasha Baron and Liz Draper draw elements from their combined eclectic musical backgrounds and power Hips Don’t Lie. This music draws elements from the electronically produced precision of a drum machine, to the sounds of quirky lopsided carnival rides and is composed for the timeless…
Back on!
Power is flowing from the Snettisham hydro dam once again! Returning to the renewable energy source means Juneau folks no longer face the temporary increased cost of living [53 cents per kilowatt hour versus 11]. Since the avalanche in mid-April, Alaska Electric Light & Power has been supplying the entire city with electricity from diesel…
Zach Falcon writes amazing stories. For kids, too.
Zach Falcon is a great storyteller because his whimsical muscles are completely intact and functioning optimally. Most of us stop using these muscles somewhere between the ages of 8 and 10. We start conforming to our risk-averse culture, playing it safe as we say, leaving the inspirations of youth behind and stop listening to voices…
Powderhorn Empty Bowls
Our pal, Jennie the Potter, works with a group of other folks on Powderhorn Empty Bowls, a community-based, volunteer-driven organization who’s goal is to eliminate hunger from the neighborhood in and around Powderhorn Park in MPLS. They throw each and every bowl by hand. Then, for an in-kind donation they fill your bowl with homemade…
