Four “Under My Radar” Blues Harp Players (Part 1)

Favrizio Poggi one of the four under my radar blues harp players

 Last week I was listening to Memphis Lights the latest release from blues harp player Tomislav Goluban. It was pretty good. Anyway, this morning when I went to Spotify to find some music to listen to on my trip to Trader Joe’s among the albums recommended for me was a group of albums and artist “similar to” Tomislav Goluban. I listened briefly to four of the artists whose names were unfamiliar to me.They were: Fabrizio Poggi and the Chicken Mambo, Dave Nevling, Grant Dermody, and The 44’s. I created a quick playlist grabbing a few songs from each of these blues harp players and I was on my way!! Read More

An Eclectic Playlist for A Short Afternoon Trip

Eclectic Playlist is the Highlight of An Afternoon Car Trip

This afternoon I made a trip to Walmart and the Cinnaminson Library. I needed to charge my iPhone 7 so I couldn’t pug it into the radio and charge it at the same time, so I brought along my iPod. I always say that I really do need to listen to the older music that I love more. But That would require that I listen to less new stuff which may not be a good thing as I try to present new music here. Anyway today the trip resulted in a short six song 24 minute playlist. The playlist reveals the eclectic nature of my music library. Read More

A Valentine’s Day “Morning” Playlist!

A Valentine’s Day Playlist with the Word “Morning” in the title!

Back when I was posting a song a day to Facebook, I figured it out,if I posted one song a day to Facebook, it would take me 54 years to post all of the songs on my iPod!Not that they are all favorites but a good number can be ranked as favorite, so let’s say half that still is 23 years!! So the answer is playlists, LOL! Not that I’m going to do it everyday, but maybe occasionally it may not be a bad idea!
Anyway back before the bronchitis hit me, I created this playlist from songs from my iTunes library. I searched for the word “Morning” since I was creating some morning music! Anyway here are 14 monrning songs! Read More

A Folk Soundtrack Kicks off My Friday!

So this morning I decided that today would be Folk Friday. I made the soundtrack for my morning commute a mix of songs from the tracks that are in the folk genre in my music library. Through the years folk music and musicians have been a big part of the music that I listen to. Music from people like Tom Paxton, Tom Rush, John Prine and Steve Goodman makes up a large portion of my music library. Read More
