One of my little joys in life

The Horse @TheHorse (226205) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Jul 16

One of my little joys in life is "teaching" mandolin to the littlies at the preschool in Berkeley. Actually, all I do is play it, and then let each little one who wants to strum it. I usually have about four kids sitting around me...

Favorite Underrated Bands #2 - New Model Army

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43418) • Denver, Colorado 24 Jul 16

One of my all-time favorite bands ranks #2 on my Favorite Underrated Bands series, and rightly so. I'm talking about England's post-punk band New Model Army. Led by vocalist/guitarist Justin Sullivan (the band's only constant,)...

My Ten Favorite Run Songs: Long May You Run (#10)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74380) • United States 24 Jul 16

Here's a new series of discussions -- run songs! No, not songs about running, but songs with "run" in their title. It's too hot to run just about anywhere except a nice, air conditioned gym, so stay inside and listen to people...

Favorite Underrated Bands #1 - Morphine

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43418) • Denver, Colorado 25 Jul 16

For the last nine days, I have been covering bands that I consider underrated. Some have experienced a bit of success. A couple have even had a Top 40 hit or two, and yet these bands fly (or flew) under most people's radar. We...

Favorite Songs About Rain #7 - "Prayers For Rain"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43418) • Denver, Colorado 26 Jul 16

To some, such as farmers and forest fire-fighters, rain is needed and most welcome. Sometimes, rain is a happy, celebratory occasion, while for others, rain is dark and gloomy. We're going with dark and gloomy for #7 in my...

I'm almost out the door to a small town about 70 miles from here to see the Quebe Sisters. But before I run out the door I'll post another song...not about running, but with some variation of "run" in the title. [b]#8:...

Fiddles and Harmonies

Four Walls @FourWalls (74380) • United States 26 Jul 16

I'm a sucker for harmonies. That comes from growing up with albums by the Louvin Brothers and the Wilburn Brothers in the house. And, as those two classic acts proved, nobody does harmony as well as family. Last week it was the...

Ten Songs You Might Not Know Are Covers: I Love Rock and Roll (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74380) • United States 27 Jul 16

I'm still spinning from the terrific Quebe Sisters show last night. It's amazing that such high-quality talent can go so far out of their way to a tiny town to entertain the folks! But it's today, and here's the next song that...

John Roberts @JohnRoberts (109845) • Los Angeles, California 27 Jul 16

"More More More" is among my favorite songs period and the only disco song I liked during that era. I actually bought the 45. "More More More" is one of disco's biggest and best known hits and the most unusual. There is the...

Favorite Songs about Rain #6 - "Another Rainy Night (Without You)

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43418) • Denver, Colorado 27 Jul 16

Seattle is well known for its rain, so it's only natural that a band from there would write a song about it. I'm talking about #6 in my Favorite Songs about Rain series (which I've totally ripped off from @JohnRoberts,) "Another...

Four Walls @FourWalls (74380) • United States 28 Jul 16

What a gloomy, rainy day here in the "sunny south." That's okay, we need the rain, and it breaks the 90-plus temperatures and 100-plus heat index days. So here's another song that's a cover song, a fact which many people just...

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43418) • Denver, Colorado 28 Jul 16

Later today here in the Pikes Peak region, we have a pretty good chance of some strong storm cells moving through, strong enough that we might even get some hail along with the rain. Which brings us to #5 in my Favorite Songs...

AbbyGreenhill @AbbyGreenhill (45494) • United States 26 Jul 16

Help! Are these chilblains?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (352561) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Jul 16

The last few days two fingers have developed redness near the nails. One has been incredibly itchy and if I have an itch I scratch. But I think maybe that was the wrong thing to do as it now looks worse than it did. I had no...
