  • Speaking of Old tunes - July 7th, 2008
  • Now, this is rap!

    This is a great live version of B Movie, by Gil Scott-Heron, possibly one of the best raps of all time.

    Here are the "official" lyrics:
    Well, the first thing I want to say isMandate my ass! Because it seems as though we’ve been convinced that 26% of the registered voters, not [...]

  • Where Does The Orinoco Flow? - July 7th, 2008
  • Back in 1988, Enya released a song called Orinoco Flow (Sail Away). Out and about on the internet, she seems to be credited as the creator of this song. I know, however, that she is not. I distinctly remember hearing this song on WBAL radio in the late sixties or early seventies. However, I can’t [...]

  • What’s New On Our Other Sites? - January 9th, 2008
  • You may have noticed that I took out the sidebar item for the RSS feeds from our other web sites. Mostly, I did it because they were not properly updating on a regular basis. For instance, the section for Orchard Studios should, for the past three days, been indicating that the feed was missing.
    The big [...]

  • Ways to Get Screwed - January 3rd, 2008
  • Way #1 — Live in Maryland
    Maryland has, for years, been known as “The Fee State.” Well, now it’s January 3, 2008, and Maryland’s new sales tax is in effect — 6% now, instead of 5%, as well as a doubled cigarette tax! At least the ciggie tax doesn’t affect me. And, fortunately, we bought the [...]

  • Ren Fest Fun - October 22nd, 2007
  • Donna and I spent most of yesterday back at the Renaissance Festival. I always enjoy the entertainment, but, as much or more, I enjoy watching (and trying to figure out) the people.
    This guy looked like he was trying to make some kind of statement. I found it to be a bit ironic — cancer-stick [...]

  • Jon & Carrie - September 12th, 2007
  • Our friend Bob Sima set me a link to a really great sounding duo from Hagerstown, Jon & Carrie. Check them out, if you get a chance. It looks like they’ll be playing in Frederick this weekend — too bad I’ll be out of town on business.

  • And Now, Here’s Deanna! - September 10th, 2007
  • Lest you think that all I’ve been doing is playing with motorcycles over the past few days …
    This past Friday night, Deanna Bogart played for Chapelgate Presbyterian’s 2nd Annual Night of Jazz event. I took a bunch of photographs for the church. Click on the picture above to see a slide show of Deanna’s [...]
