Apple announced yesterday that they are making the majority of their vast music library available DRM-free via the iTunes Store. What this means is that you will be able to play files you download on other non-Apple (iPod) players and software. The tracks will cost a bit more – $1.29 versus $0.99 – and they [...]
Thanks to the internet, I just listened to music I have not heard in over twenty years. What was it? Sandi Patti and Russ Taff. That Sandi Patti album was literally out when I was three years old. Hearing it was like going back in time. Thanks Mom and Dad for giving me memories of [...]

I’ve been away from blogging for a while – mostly because I’ve just been too busy. Brief recap of the last couple weeks: We had Thanksgiving at at my grandparents’ farm in North Carolina as we usually do each year.

There were supposedly 54,000 ticketed people in attendance. Press reports since have said their could have been as many as 96-110,000 there! The entire [...]
