I know some of you probably want to hear about my trip to the Great Allegheny Passage. I’ve put up a bunch of photos on Facebook but haven’t gotten around to writing about the experience.
I will say that it was not a life – changing experience, but more of an attitude – changing one. It was strenuous but fun and I met a great group of people who became friends instantly.
So, I guess I need a little time to let it digest, then I will write more about it here.
I got a new cell phone today; it’s another Android smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy S4 or SIV, whichever you prefer. It’s a pretty sweet phone, according to everyone in the know on such things. Continue Reading…
I was channel-flipping last night and came across The Voice and stopped to watch this one song. It completely blew me away. It is all at once what is right about The Voice and what is wrong about our American music industry.
Here you have a young woman, the youngest on this season’s show, singing a great song and obviously owning it. She was on top of her game, confident enough to enjoy every moment of it. I told my wife, if she wrote this song, she’s got it all. She didn’t, it was written by Jo Dee Messina, but I didn’t really expect an original composition.
The song was clearly targeted to a country audience. That’s what is wrong with so-called country music these days. It’s not a country song at all. It could have been arranged slightly differently and been a rock song or a ballad. But country sells, so it gets twisted into that genre. She still nailed it, though.
