When I pissed off a guy named Bob Merlis? He commented:
It’s amazing to me that you’ve blogged negatively about Peter Bernstein’s “Monk” album since you admit you haven’t heard it. It’s a brilliant album that has garnered some very positive reviews including one from the New York Times. Peter is part of the Blue [...]

The State of Music
And welcome back to my fictitious radio program, The Future of Music. It is pledge season here at WSTFY. We rely on you, the listener, to keep us afloat. I know times are tough, but whatever you can spare.
Not to toot my own horn, no pun intended, but you won’t hear this caliber of music [...]

1.
I was talking to Leika and I asked her if she remembered her mother. And then, it dawned on me that she probably has or had a lot of siblings. I wonder if she remembers all of her brothers and sisters. And were they all black and brown? It must have been a handsome little [...]

California Dreamin’
I was in California last week. It was a good trip but different. With the wedding in Roseville, the Monterey Jazz Festival in, er, Monterey and the flight at SFO, there was a lot more traveling and such than socializing.

Music for Paul
“Speaking of music resonating with your soul, I
think I need to do some serious soul-searching or need serious help
because for the past few months, very few songs, across many genres

So here I am, sitting here on a nice but windy – at least I think it’s nice out. I haven’t been bold enough to venture beyond the confines of the domicile today. But I am going to see Gary Bartz at Blues Alley this evening so that’s something.
