Look at this young guy driving the tractor….helping his family put up some bales!
These are good experiences for a young family to share.
I was blessed to have relatives with farms.
It’s a good thing to be able to help with this kind of work.
I knew Keith John’s version from Spike Lee’s School Daze movie.
Stevie wrote this song.
What a great tune!
Aoife O’Donovan, Sarah Jarosz and Sara Watkins are great by themselves…..and pretty darn great playing together under the name “I’m With Her”.
This is another episode of a series from National Public Radio called the Tiny Desk Concerts.
Any of these Tiny Desk Concerts are really good.
Oh?!
What the heck!!
This is so weird and sort of wonderfully….weird.
From the 1944 movie “Broadway Rhythm”.
Can Beyoncé do this?
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Yo-Yo!
Now, here’s some GOOD MUSIC!
For sure.
The Post Office is making me take a whole bunch of time off in the coming month and a half.
Like….almost a month and a half.
Off.
So…I’m going to have to figure out some good stuff to get done during all my down time.
The story of why they said I had to take all this time off in the next 6 weeks will come in a future post.
It’s an interesting story….and says a lot about how the USPS operates.
When you hear what happened, YOU WON’T BELIEVE IT!
Anyway, good music can truly get you through just about anything.
It won’t pay the bills (listening to it, at least)….but it makes everything a whole lot sweeter.
Yo-Yo…you make my life sweeter!
I’ll bet you never knew.
Incense and Peppermints…Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Good name for a band…..
Here’s the Marcus King Band with a live performance from WNCW’s Studio B.
WNCW is our local public radio station….broadcasting out of Spindale, NC.
The Marcus KIng Band is from Greenville, SC.
Check out more videos from Studio B at their YouTube channel….

Man…this guy was a lot of fun….and a really good guitarist.
Nobody really talks about Jerry Reed that I’ve heard lately.
And…I have a customer named Amos Moses on the mail route.
I wonder if anybody’s ever asked him if he’s heard this song?
I’ll bet they have.
They told me at work today that I was going to have to take some (3 weeks) of Leave Without Pay to make up for taking too long on the mail route.
Apparently, that’s what they do when you go over your evaluation.
Even though I don’t get paid overtime (I’m paid like I’m salaried), they’re going to stick it to me at the end of the year because I worked too many hours.
I was bent out of shape.
That’s saying it lightly.
Then I started to put it all into perspective.
I have a lot to be grateful for.
Beaucoup things to be grateful for.
A multitude.
What a victory it would be to not let some bureaucracy steal my joy!
And…is it really a hardship to spend time away from work?
Maybe I’m looking at this demand from the wrong angle?
It does seem wrong to be penalized for working too many hours, though.
It’s not like I wanted to be there all the time….you know?
