Music Monday – “I don’t practice Santeria, I ain’t got no crystal ball/I had a million dollars but I’d, I’d spend it all.”
“Santeria” – Sublime
Music Monday – “And there’ll be sun, sun, sun all over our bodies/And sun, sun, sun all down our necks/And there’ll be sun, sun, sun all over our faces/And sun, sun, sun, so what the heck”

I went through an added an “allinclusive” tag to all my posts about various aspects of our all-inclusive holidays over the years to make them easier to find instead of just using the “holiday” tag which is a bit broader. I’m clearly getting excited with three weeks to go (and songs like the one […]
Is Ringo Starr The Best Drummer of All-Time?
Really enjoyed the Hawksley Workman drum workshop last night where, after a concert on Sunday that I didn’t make it to, he did a Monday night workshop where he showed a bit of his process in using the drums, was interviewed by a local drummer, and took audience questions.

Music Monday – “I can’t take my eyes off you/I can’t take my eyes off you/I can’t take my eyes off you”
Goddamn, this is a good song. “The Blower’s Daughter” – Damien Rice
Music Monday – “And you won’t understand/But you will learn someday/That wherever you are and whatever you face/These are the people who’ll make you feel safe in this world/My sweet blue-eyed girl”
