Got my own row to hoe...
(Click the pic for the full tattoo)
I wasn't born the seventh son, on the seventh hour, on the seventh day, or on the seventh month; but I was born in Keene, New Hampshire back in 1972.
I've rambled up and down the East Coast of the Good Ol'USA. Sat a spell in Sydney, Australia (2005-2009). And currently growing roots in London, UK.
I am a proud owner of a turntable.
I am a fan of music and all of the sounds and stories that live in the songs. I believe in the three musical truths: Blues, Country and Gospel (it all comes from here).
This is music that is deeply ingrained in the background of the music makers; all of whom are connected by a shared experience that links them inextricably; music with a message and a literal truth.
And like the bluesmen, country singers and folk troubadours before me, I'm pulled by the lure of going around in search of the sounds and to share my own stories.
“To see life clearly, to live it like a champion, you have to develop your own set of rules.”- Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

Poorman's Podcast: Working for the Man - 1st day on the new job & last resort to find new tunes
via AudioBoo
Time to kick back and listen to the sweet sounds of a desperate (working) man who spent the day towing the line and running down phantom tunes.
(hey, it's only five minutes long...have a listen)
p.s. that opening song...can you guess who that is?
Poorman's Podcast: Walkin' the Talk on the Streets of London with Mick Fleetwood & his Celebrity Playlist
I have another another one my "Poorman's Podcasts" here for your listening enjoyment. I make these on my iPhone using the voice recording app. Very simple to do. This time I recorded it while walking along the South Kensington streets in London.
I was on my way back from the gym and had just finished listening to this new feature that iTunes has called, the Celebrity Podcast. It is a new feature that I talk about in the attached podcast. Mick Fleetwood put one of these together and I loved it. It is storytelling. It is about music. It is about music through storytelling...and Mick Fleetwood spins a mighty fine yarn.
Listen to what I have to say about it and then see then decide if you want to download it for free in the iTunes store.
Also, here is the link to listen to it now: Mick Fleetwood Celebrity Podcast.
That link does not take you to the iTunes store. It opens up in your browser where you can watch the accompanying slide show of the podcast. It is cool because there are some visuals that go along with it. I didn't even realise you could do that until just now. Learn something new everyday...
A couple other highlights I forgot to mention my podcast:
- Sandy Nelson: I didn't know who he was. Listen to the Link Wray-light guitar in the background
- Marvin Gaye: If there were three people that I wish stayed on to make more music and more statements it would be John Lennon, Robert Johnson and Marvin Gaye. All of which were taken down by someone else's hand. Marvin was an extremely tragic character in life and in his death.
- James Brown: Listen to the opening of "It's a Man's World". Stopped me cold while at the gym and was close to bringing tears to my eyes. You can't cry at the gym...
- The Peter Greene song I mentioned is called "Man of the World". Much like the tunes on Lennon's "Working Class Hero" album, here is a song where the artists takes their guts out and spreads them all over the mixing board and the listener for all to chew on. I attached a link here for you to listen to it in your browser. The lyrics are full-on...
Enjoy...
