Andrew McMahon And Friends – May 18, 2018

We went to Ace Of Spades in Sacramento for this most excellent show. Andrew has been writing and performing great songs for many years, with Jack’s Mannequin, Something Corporate, and more recently on his own as Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness. This show was a warm visit to his “living room” as his guests came by to perform with him: Allen Stone, Bob Oxblood, and Zac Clark. Andrew’s songs are so well-written and the lyrics are so clever and meaningful. Some of the songs got a stripped down treatment and some got a different arrangement, and then some just flat-out rocked. It was one of the best shows I’ve seen in quite a while.

I Love Me Some Music

Hmm, time for a trip to the record store?


Yellow Submarine Returning To Theaters

To celebrate the 50th anniversary! This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I’ve see it at least twenty times and still love it completely. For all ages to enjoy too.


In Case Of Fire…

In case of fire, rescue my records. And CDs. And tapes. And music memorabilia. And anything else that has to do with music.


Do you Ever Feel Like This?

It’s our annual trip to Seattle for the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival. We go every year, since 2001, making this our 17th year in a row. And we love it more than ever. This year our granddaughter Josephine went with us again. Also traveling, our friends Cal, Laura, Marie, Mama O, Aunt Sam, and Margaret.

I’ll post some pictures soon, but first, here’s what we did on our trip.

The Book I Read: It By Stephen King

Yes, he’s the master of horror.

I’ve read over a dozen of his books now, and while some are better than others I enjoyed them all. This is one of the better ones. At 1100 or so pages, it took a while to finish, but even at that length I didn’t find much filler. There was one scene that I didn’t really like but overall I liked it a lot and really got to know and care about the characters. I liked the way he switched back and forth between them as kids and as adults. Sometimes you had to read a bit to know which was which. Clever. And Mr. King was very descriptive with being too long-winded. He really does know how to write.

Lots Of Video On My YouTube Channel

I go to concerts. Sometimes I record some of the songs on video. Check it out, maybe even subscribe!

The Book I Read: Here, There And Everywhere – My Life Recording The Music Of The Beatles By Geoff Emerick And Howard Massey

Geoff Emerick was actually THERE. We’ve heard a million times about what happened when the Beatles were recording, from the early days until the bitter end. But he was actually there to see and work on a lot of the music. His accounts of the Beatles pushing the limits of the studio again and again offer a world of insights into their music process. He sometimes seems to brag a bit about his record prowess, but then again you can’t argue with the results. His accountings of the Revolver and Sgt Peppers sessions alone make the book worth buying. But there’s much more than that.
