Mark your calendars for this day. Something very nice is going to happen at Carrollton Station in New Orleans that night.

Care to guess what that might be?

PS (11.7.08) sorry Jeff, no H-Bombs/Cigz, but the other guesses are correct.

If it's a Continental Drifters reunion, I may have to make the trek south from bluegrass country....

If it's a Drifters reunion, I'd say that would be excuse enough for a road trip from Chicago. Hope so!

So, who is going to be in this version of the Drifters? Vicki?
Mark? Robert? Not Susan or Russ?
What about Ray? Who on drums?

That Chicago road trip idea sounds like a mighty fine one, especially since the date coincides with the Jazz & Heritage Festival. My gal and I are going to bring a posse from Chicago (and perhaps Minneapolis).

Peter, you've made an old guy very happy indeed. Expect a few Boston folks in the house.

I promise not to regale you with another off-key rendition of "Vatican Blues" in advance of this one.

I'm definitely excited for all us Drifters fans, for Peter, and just excited to drive down HWY 57 to go to New Orleans and see the city - oh and I'm going to the Jazz Fest too!
This will be my second trip to New Orleans. We are going to be cutting it close as far as the Drifters concert goes but I have every intention of being there! You Go Peter! Full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes !

"Back yet again!" says the Infrequent Blogger

(photo by Bill Reaves) I am inevitably confounded by the amount of time I let go by between posts here. My last post was February of last year (2022). You may ask yourself "what was he doing that prevented him from posting again?" and the answer is, of course, "nothing really." I forget I have this place to write my thoughts down for a waiting world to read, which would be helpful for me as well to empty my chaotic mind and make a little space. But since you're here and may be wondering what I'm up to, I'll try to fill you in. Mostly, I'm tending to home stuff. I do laundry and pick up groceries and a lot of domestic engineering that involves a broom, dustpan and mop. And sometimes that sweet shower glass cleaner recipe I found a while ago that makes it so you can see out again. We have a new junior at UNC-W and a new junior at Riverside High School, and they've been navigating their lives outside the nest. The high schooler just got her drivers&

NY Times blog part three is up

I know, I know. You haven't heard from me lately, and I'm sorry. The future's looming large, and distractions have been keeping me away from DTBMMLF. Meanwhile, the Times songwriting blog is up so you can go read that for the moment. I'll be back soon, I promise. Thank you for your patience.

Merry Christmas
and/or Happy Holidays,
whichever you prefer!

On Christmas Day 2023, my family found itself chilling in our hotel room in Chicago, feeling exceptionally fortunate to have each other and our health and love. We decided to forgo the major present giving, with all that accompanies choosing gifts people will like, and just have ourselves an experience for Christmas. And I think we'd all agree that it was a fantastic choice. We saw the Art Institute of Chicago (5 hours there), the Frank Lloyd Wright house and studio, the University of Chicago campus, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Chicago Architecture Center. We ate Chicago hot dogs at the Billy Goat Tavern, shared a burger at Gordon Ramsay Burger, drunk coffee at the enormous Starbuck's Reserve, and been entertained/abused by the dancing waitstaff at Ed Debevic's. We walked around Millennium Park twice (the Bean is closed, unfortunately) and the Magnificent Mile and the Riverwalk. The weather was chilly, which Chicago thinks of as 'balmy',
