It is Thursday, after all. Last week? Justin Timberlake and Gwen Stefani. Next week: who knows? This week something that’s (as always) completely different. Start with maybe twenty drones tricked out with synchronized lights. Link those lights to a bank of Shaminsens, traditional Japanese guitars, and hit play with Mt. Fuji as the backdrop. It all comes together rather nicely, …
Here’s your Hump Day hiatus
They don’t call Italy Il bel paese – The beautiful country – for nothing. There is a list called 1,000 Places To See Before You Die. Casting a glance over it, one will notice that Italy – and Puglia in particular – boasts an enviable number of locations. With numerous UNESCO sites, pristine beaches, and enchanting destinations, it was difficult …

Your mid-week break has arrived
This isn’t the typical excursion to some exotic and faraway corner of the globe that we so often do here on Wednesdays.

BREAK TIME 2FER!
Today you’re getting a choice. If you could take a vacation today (and you can; in fact, you’re about to), would you rather go wilderness or go urban? Would you rather get away from it all into the great outdoors, or escape to the noise and excitement of the big city? Of course, you can have both. Your first option: …
Thursday: music therapy
This is Prince-related. Of course. Aside from that, it’s exceptional guitar work. (And the drumming is great too.) https://youtu.be/KM7QuXhTC6Q
This week’s videocation
We sometimes call it The Hump Day Hiatus. This week it’s a day late, but really, when is it not a good time for a brief yet refreshing break? Today we journey to the Ventana Wilderness of California, part of the Los Padres National Forest, to meet Jack English, all of 93 years old, living a life of solitude in …
For Prince: Music Therapy
With the news of Prince’s death, today seems like an appropriate day to remember one of our all-time favorites: Hannah Ford (Hannah Ford Welton), a member of Prince’s inner circle of musical collaborators and one of the most powerful – and beautiful – drummers ever on the rock & roll scene. She was part of Prince’s touring band for New …
